Is it safe to split 400 mg enteric-coated sam-e tablets and consume half at a time?

Enteric coated: By splitting a enteric-coated tablet you may be losing its effectiveness

Safe ?: The enteric coating is designed to get the active contents of SAMe tablets past the destructive action of stomach acid to a place in the small intestines where they will be absorbed. You could cut them, but may lose most of the active med. If you want to take less, invest in a smaller enteric coated dose.
