Q: It says on your package to take SAM-e 30 minutes before eating, is this important?

Yes, SAM-e needs to get through your stomach into your small intestines before you eat and that takes at least 30 minutes. SAM-e is absorbed in the small intestine. SAM-E will not work as well if taken with food. If you forget to take it before you eat, you can take your SAM-e 1 hour after your meal.
