PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stabilization agent containing a substance having an effect for stabilizing S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), and to provide a stabilization method using the substance.SOLUTION: The stabilization agent for the S-adenosylmethionine contains a phosphate compound as an active ingredient. The stabilization method for the S-adenosylmethionine comprises adding a phosphate compound to the S-adenosylmethionine. Thereby, the stabilization agent and the stabilization method which each can more effectively stabilize SAM over a long period than conventional agents and conventional methods are obtained.COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT【課題】S-アデノシルメチオニン(SAM)を安定化させる効果を有する物質を含有する安定化剤及び該物質を用いた安定化方法を提供すること。【解決手段】S-アデノシルメチオニンの安定剤は、リン酸化合物を有効成分として含有する。S-アデノシルメチオニンの安定化方法は、S-アデノシルメチオニンにリン酸化合物を添加することを含む。【効果】従来の方法よりも長期間にわたって効果的にSAMを安定化させることができる安定剤及び安定化方法が提供された。【選択図】図1
