MSM

MSM

MSM is a natural sulfur compound that supports connective tissue. It provides sulfur for collagen cross-linking and has mild anti-inflammatory effects.

Does it really work?

Research shows MSM can reduce joint pain and improve function, particularly when combined with glucosamine. It may also benefit skin and hair health thanks to its sulfur content. The effects tend to be modest but real.

Can I get enough in real food?

Tiny amounts of MSM are present in fruits, vegetables, and grains, but not enough to match the doses studied for joint benefits. Supplements are the practical way to reach effective levels.

Do I need a supplement for everyday health?

MSM is optional and most helpful if you have joint pain or want to support connective tissue health. It isn’t required for everyone.
