Will a pill pocket reduce Denamarin's effect on an empty stomach?

Question

Can I give my dog Denamarin in a pill pocket or does that reduce the effect of the medicine? Supposed to give on an empty stomach. Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | neutered | 8 years and 10 months old

For optimal absorption, tablets should be given on an empty stomach, at least one hour before feeding, as the presence of food decreases the absorption of S-Adenosylmethionine. For those owners who have difficulty administering tablets to their pets, Denamarin tablet(s) may be disguised in a small bite of food. Pill pocket is fine too.
