Is it essential to take it on empty stomach? Mine is enteric coated. Some say they take it with food. Which one is correct?

I've heard you should never take any vitamins on an empty stomach because it may hurt the stomach lining. Is it bad if I take a multi first thing in the morning to enhance SAMe absorption?
When is it OK to start eating after taking SAMe first thing in the morning in a fasted state from the previous night? That's pretty much the only time I'm on an empty stomach because I eat casein before bed.

SAM-e needs to be taken on an empty stomach. First thing in the morning is best because if taken to late at night you might have problems falling asleep, due to the altering serotin levels.
A good b-complex product to take with it is B-right from Jarrow Formulas.

I mean I don't think all members here with simple questions wan't to start a scientific colloquium. You bringing up the b6 issue was absolutely good... however OP would only be getting ~65 mgs of B6 per day combining those products (under UL value--which is below toxicity value), so there was no point for me to include gratuitous information that doesn't concern OP.

SAMe should be enteric coated so something liquid with it shouldn't screw up absorption. Its the HCL that degrades the SAMe. Longer it stays in the stomach the possibility of degradation goes up. I took it for about 8 months straight. Joints certainly improved as an added bonus.

There might be no issues that I know of with taking BCAA's with SAM-e but again I rather just take it by itself. 8 hours of sleep(fasting) is not going to reduce your lean body mass, as long as your diet and training are in check with your goals.
If you are still concerned about "fasting" then have a protein shake with a blend of whey, egg white and micellar casein about 90 minutes before you go to sleep.

SAM-e and my multi are the only supps I've been taking this month (strength way down due to no creatine ) but want to see how it will affect liver enzyme levels, the only reason I'm trying it out and why I'm avoiding all other supps. Usually they sit at the high end of normal so hoping for some reduction when I get tested next week to justify the price of the SAM-e. Haven't noticed any other tangible benefits tbh. Mine too are enteric coated and I take with my multi on an empty stomach purely to follow the directions on the box.
