what is methylsulfonylmethane (msm)?
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) MSM is a sulfur compound present in very small quantities in many foods: fruits vegetables grains milk algae meat seafood, etc. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) has been available as a supplement since the late 1990s. It actually comes from the oxidation of a byproduct of wood pulp (pine lignin, for example). Although it comes from a natural raw material, its manufacture involves a chemical process carried out in the laboratory. It is a white powder with a bitter taste. Therapeutic uses The hypotheses formulated about its therapeutic uses are mainly based on the role that sulfur compounds play in the body. Thanks to the sulfur it contains, MSM helps preserve immune functions. It also maintains connective tissues (tendons, deep dermis, collagen, cartilage, etc.) in good condition. MSM would thus play a catalytic role in the process of transforming food into energy. It would also help eliminate toxins from the body. MSM is therefore sold in tablet form, alone or in combination with other natural health products, including glucosamine and chondroitin. It is also found in products for topical use (oils, ointments, etc.). Research on MSM Osteoarthritis The results of two clinical studies indicate that MSM can relieve osteoarthritis pain.

Similar results were also obtained in a previous study, using MSM, glucosamine or a combination of both, at doses of 1.5 g per day. Hay fever In a preliminary study, 50 people suffering from hay fever took 2.6 g of MSM daily for 30 days and saw their symptoms decrease. Rosacea Italian researchers from the San Gallicano Dermatological Institute in Rome have shown that local application of a cream based on MSM and silymarin, a substance produced by milk thistle, can alleviate the symptoms of rosacea. Miscellaneous MSM supplement manufacturers' claims regarding other benefits of this product are based on unpublished preliminary trials.
