The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

SAM-e (S-Adenosyl Methionine) is derived from the amino acids methionine and ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). ATP is normally synthesized in the body but may become depleted from sickness and aging. SAM-e is concentrated in the liver and brain and has multiple mechanisms of action in the body. As a major methyl donor, it synthesizes hormones, nucleic acids, proteins, phospholipids, catecholamines, and other neurotransmitters.
Supplementing with SAM-e
The manufacturing process of SAM-e yields two forms, the S,S and the R,S isomers. The S,S isomer is the active form the mediates biochemical- activity in the human body, whereas the R,S for is considered to be biologically inactive. The Italian SAM-e used in our SAM-e 400 is processed to yield the highest available percentage of the active pure S,S form on the market.
SAM-e and Joint Function
In clinical trials, SAM-e has been shown to help reduce pain in joints and increase joint comfort and mobility by promoting the synthesis of proteoglycans, essential components of connective tissue.
SAM-e and Mood and Cognitive Function
SAM-e's ability to boost brain cell methylation facilitates youthful DNA enzymatic actions which may help account for its mood-elevating properties. These enzymatic actions are required for the healthy conversion of neurotransmitters, such a serotonin and dopamine. SAM-e also facilitates glutathione usage which improves the body's antioxidant defense and it helps maintain acetylcholine levels necessary for cognitive function.
SAM-e and Liver Function
In order to perform its detoxification role, SAME-e facilitates healthy methylation enzymatic processes and boost hepatic levels of glutathione, a critical antioxidant which helps protect against free radicals. SAME-e acts as a methyl donor in the synthesis an formation of phosphatidylcholine and L-cysteine, both necessary for maintaining liver health.
