I thought Sam-E needed to be in blister packs to preserve the pills themselves. I notice these are not. Is there a reason why?

The blister pack is one issue - I notice they recommend refrigerating these after opening which would help preserve.The more important point to me is that these have no mannitol (stomach upsetting) in themand that they are a true 400mg dose of SAM-e- not 400mg of the salt compound as many others are.

I think these have a thicker coating than the blister packed ones. I've never had a problem and I have had broken ones in the blister packs.

They come in a well sealed dark glass jar. I've never heard that they need to be in blister packs.

It comes in an opaque glass container to prevent the oxidation of the pills. They don't need to be blister packed.

I called them because of this issue and because they have a good rep. They emphasized the importance of the glass bottle and required refrigerating after opening. I pay a little more for this brand.

Mine came in a blister pack, although I have seen then with both types of packaging.

Okay, so I spoke with someone at Phytospecific, explained my hit or miss experience , and informed the of the disparity between the two packages and the drastically different results. She advised one that if the product has a dry crust on the top of the cream portion of the relaxer to NOT use!!! This due to oxidation and it is not advisable to put it in your hair. I told her that if that is the case it should be clearly written on the packaging so that consumer are aware. I've been hearing a lot about people receiving packages that are NOT sealed. DO NOT USE!!!!. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to purchase this product from authorized retailers. Sephora , Ulta, Neiman Marcus,Nordstoms etc. I'm gonna do the same and post my next results here. Hope this helps! Eve

Hi, Mine came in a Blister Pack. It is very hard for me to get them out because of finger problems, so my dear hubby sits down and takes a months supply out of the pack and puts them into a bottle for me. If I have to get one out by myself, I use a pair of small toe nail scissors and cut the pill out. Hope this is of some help. ;) Kathryna

Two bottles received today. No cotton, no adsobent, just 30 loose, exposed tablets in a bottle. I much preferred the blister pack for its protection of each individual tablet against light, air and moisture.

Mine was shrinked wrapped and not in one of those plastic blister packs. It arrived perfectly and works perfectly.

I'm guessing that a date was put on the package because it is sterile or maybe the bandages have an adhesive on them. I hope this helps.

I find them very difficult to open. I have to cut through the blister pack, but even then they are difficult to remove. I wish they came in a bottle. I am 67 years old with arthritis so blister packs of any kind require extra effort.

I've "pre-packaged" the pills into pre-measured DRY dogfood in daily ziplocs (as I feed my dog once a day) the pills have kept very well in a cool dry place. I've "stuffed" up to 3 capsules into one pill pocket. You do have "to work" the "pill pocket", compressing and molding a ball but I do it all the time. Sometimes I lightly dampen my fingers as the product does initially crumble but don't lose patience as it takes a bit longer to be successful at it.

Real good question here. I have found the same product in non blister packs but the price is considerably higher for no apparent reason unless there is worry over liability. One possibility is that excessive iron can be toxic. Even accidental double dosing can be very harmful so the pain of having to fight the blister pack would slow down a child.

Good question. I just received this product through Fishes & Loaves via amazon and the box was severely damaged; but, more importantly, the package was not enclosed in cellophane wrap or a blister pack. So tampering or contamination of the eye creme could have occurred. When I buy this locally, it is in a blister pack. I refused acceptance of the product, and am receiving a credit.

The little tablets are in a very small, thin piece of plastic that has to be torn off before use, of course. Being a little powdery, I guess it's necessary to wrap each one in that way.

I dont have medical advice for how long to store meds, but if you are trying to keep moisture out of your prescription bottle this should be the ticket. the packets are sealed so they wouldn't touch your pills. use the small cc size ones. you shouldn't need more than one for a regular size rx. if you have a big bottle put 2 or three in the bottom out of your way. don't waste money on multiple sizes these have many of them in the bag.

My boxes are gone, but I can say that they come on a foil sheet with plastic-like bubbles for each pill. Personally, I have no concern for their potency.

well to what I see the 90 that I purchased came in blister packets not a bottle. so if you are interested in freshness the 90 count looks like it would be a better choice. same price per count and you save by not having to buy as often also(shipping)

Not such a big bottle as the pills are small...sealed ones would be a hassle to get the little pills out. My wife has used them for 20 years and me off and on for 10...2-3 little pills usually does the trick. 10 seconds and problem solved. + small pills go down easy

They come in a plain, cheap, plastic blister package that isn't sealed around the sides; you just depress one half into the other, clamshell-style, and it pops into place to "stay" shut, then they're collectively loosely wrapped with a piece of paper. I would highly recommend re-purposing a pill bottle or something if you're looking to carry them around. Another good idea is using the plastic containers for water that come with fresh roses from the florist as a lid for your x-acto pen and then you don't need the blade container or a cap and can carry it with you without fear.
