Stiff or sore after a hard session? Did you know MSM is a natural sulfur compound found in small amounts in fruit, vegetables and grains? It may help support joint comfort and muscle recovery.
MSM Made with Optimsm gives you 1000mg per serving. Each pack has 240 Caps.
MSM, short for methylsulfonylmethane, is a natural sulfur-containing compound found in small amounts in fruit, vegetables, grains, meat and milk. Sulfur is an essential part of the body's connective tissue, skin, hair and nails. Cooking and processing reduce the MSM in food, so many people choose a supplement. MSM is most often chosen to support joint comfort, flexibility and recovery after exercise, and for healthy skin.
Delivery: Usually arrives within 3 days to 2 weeks.

The science behind it
MSM is a small, water-soluble molecule that is about 34 per cent sulfur by weight. It is closely related to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and it is also produced in small amounts by the body's own metabolism and by gut bacteria. After swallowing, MSM is absorbed quickly, spreads through body water and appears in tissues including joint fluid, skin and muscle. It is cleared mainly in urine.
Sulfur is needed to make the amino acids methionine and cysteine, and for glutathione, one of the body's key antioxidants. It is also part of the glycosaminoglycans in cartilage and of keratin in hair and nails. Researchers suggest MSM may act as a sulfur donor, and that it may influence normal inflammatory signalling, for example NF-kB pathways, and markers of oxidative stress after exercise.
Human trials are generally small. Studies on knees reported modest improvements in comfort and function after twelve weeks (Kim et al., 2006), and trials in exercise recovery reported lower soreness scores. There is no established deficiency of MSM, and there is no official recommended intake. Because MSM often features in joint formulas alongside glucosamine, chondroitin or turmeric, it is hard to separate its individual effect.

Common questions
What is MSM?
MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in small amounts in foods. It is taken as a supplement to support joints, skin and recovery.
What does MSM do for joints?
MSM provides sulfur, which is used to build connective tissue. Some small studies suggest it may help support joint comfort and flexibility.
How long does MSM take to work?
Most people use it for at least four to twelve weeks before judging results.
When is the best time to take MSM?
Take it with food and a full glass of water to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Some people split the dose between morning and evening.
Is MSM good for hair and nails?
Sulfur is part of keratin, the protein in hair and nails. MSM is traditionally used for this purpose, though research is limited.
Can I take MSM with glucosamine?
Yes, MSM and glucosamine are commonly combined in joint formulas, as they support connective tissue in different ways.
Safety
MSM is generally well tolerated, but may cause mild stomach upset, loose stools or headache, particularly in large amounts. It may have a mild blood-thinning effect, so take care if you use blood thinners and stop before surgery. Speak to your healthcare professional if pregnant or breastfeeding.
