MSM Powder Supplements

About MSM Powder Supplements

MSM is a popular dietary supplement containing an organic bioavailable sulfur source. With anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is used for a wide range of reasons, such as the management of osteoarthritis and to bolster dietary sulphur intake.

A review article published in 2017 by Nutrients highlighted the usefulness of MSM for the management of joint and muscle pain, specifically for the treatment of arthritis. Sulfur is important for the cross-linking of cartilage, which improves its strength and resilience. 

MSM is the perfect companion to glucosamine and chondroitin supplements, particularly for the management of osteoarthritis. MSM is indicated for those with a low dietary sulphur intake. Sulfur rich foods are garlic, onion and cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, brussel sprouts and broccoli.

MSM has also become popular for use during detoxification programs. Sulfur containing amino acids, such as cysteine, are important for the generation of glutathioine, the body's most powerful endogenous antioxidant. Glutathione is also believed to be a storage depot for sulfur, that can be tapped into during times of high demand.
