MSM
Glucosamine/MSM combines two of the most popular natural agents used in joint health research - in the forms and doses validated most likely to be effective. Glucosamine sulfate (in the sodium-free KCl form) has earned its popularity: many clinical studies have shown its bioavailability and chondroprotective activity. MSM, also known as "DMSO2", is a crystalline DMSO-like compound that supplies sulfur - a key nutrient for the growth and maintenance of connective tissues. Evidence is rapidly accumulating to justify professional acceptance of MSM-containing products. The Glucosamine/MSM combination makes for a rational, economical and powerful choice for supporting long-term, comfortable function of joint structures.*  Dietary Considerations Wheat Free Soy Free Yeast Free Sugar Free Preservative Free Salt Free Corn Free Free of Artificial Colors/Flavors  Serving Size:6 Capsule  Servings Per Container:30  Amount Per Serving Glucosamine (sulfate KCI) (shrimp) 1500 mg  MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) 2250 mg   Other ingredients: silica, vegetable stearate, calcium sulfate, cellulose, water     Suggested use for adults: Six capsules daily in divided doses, taken with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.

MSM Plus supports cartilage health with Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) along with botanicals from the Ayurvedic tradition that possess immune activity-balancing properties. Boswellia serrata (Indian Frankincense), a source of boswellic acids, has traditionally been used to support the health of joints. Curcumin is a highly purified extract of Turmeric (Curcuma longa), used similarly in Central and East Asia. Both curcumin and boswellic acids support normal regulation of immune system activity by helping to balance the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a sulfur containing compound and is often used to help with osteoarthritis and to maintain good joint health. Use of MSM in combination with glucosamine and/or chondroitin can greatly reduce pain in the joints and support the development of healthy cartilage. Other supplements that enhance the effects of MSM supplements are collagen, krill oil or fish oil.
Even if you are not currently experiencing joint pain, adding MSM supplements to your daily intake may be wise. The wear and tear of daily life and of exercise can cause joint damage, but MSM supplements can help prevent this. In addition to supplements, be sure to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables because methylsulfonylmethane is also absorbed from the soil by the roots of plants. For this reason, milk from dairy animals that are allowed free range on fresh grass is a good source of MSM.
Studies have shown that side effects of MSM supplements are few and mild. Some users of MSM have reported experiencing slight stomach upset or rashes on the skin; however, these side effects are minor when weighed against the level of pain support the supplement provides. Additionally, side effects can be mitigated by splitting dosage up into smaller doses throughout the day and by being sure to take MSM with food. Additionally, studies have shown that large amounts of MSM are not necessarily required for positive results, so you may be able to reduce your overall dosage significantly to address these side effects. Discuss use and dosage of MSM with your doctor to determine exactly how much you should take.
Also remember to look for MSM under its other names: DMSO2, sulfonylbismethane, methanesulfonylmethane, and methyl sulfone. No matter which name the product you decide on bears, you can be sure of finding the best quality and value right here at Vita Living.
