HelloPharmacist Scorecard of SAMe & TMG Natural Lemon Flavor by XYMOGEN

Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.

Evidence for Intended Use
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

The stated purpose hasn't been mapped to our evidence data yet.

Why this rating?
  • We haven't mapped this product's purpose to our evidence data yet — it'll be graded on the next content refresh.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.
Known Interaction Concern
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Same.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: Parkinson's medications.
  • For scale: 189 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Brand IP Statement(s)

XYMOGEN 2010

All XYMOGEN(R) Formulas Meet or Exceed cGMP Quality Standards.

SAMe & TMG is a sweet and slightly tart lemon-flavored powder. SAMe (S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine) and TMG (Trimethylglycine) are naturally occurring substances that act as “Methyl Donors.” Methylation, which declines with natural aging, and with chronic ethanol consumption, is a vital process involved in many biochemical reactions in the brain and throughout the body. Whereas many forms of SAMe on the market contain less than 44$ SS isomer, the form the body can most readily use, XYMOGEN(R)’s formula contains a 70% or higher SS isomer, making it cost-effective. Nitrogen-purged foil sachets maximize stability.*

Formulation

DOES NOT CONTAIN: Wheat, gluten, corn protein, yeast, soy, dairy products, artificial colors, sweeteners or preservatives.

S-Adenosyl-Methionine2 drug types · 189 drugs

Levodopa

SAMe might reduce the effectiveness of levodopa.
SAMe methylates levodopa, which might reduce its effectiveness for treating Parkinson disease.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Serotonergic Drugs

Taking SAMe with serotonergic drugs might increase the risk of serotonin syndrome and other serotonergic side effects.
SAMe has serotonergic effects. Theoretically, combining serotonergic drugs with SAMe might increase the risk of serotonergic side effects, including serotonin syndrome and cerebral vasoconstrictive disorders. In one case report, SAMe 100 mg intramuscularly was given daily with clomipramine (Anafranil) 25 mg per day. When the clomipramine dose was increased to 75 mg per day the patient experienced serotonin syndrome about 48-72 hours later, requiring hospitalization.
