Product Notes:
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound, about one-third of which is sulfur: the third most prevalent mineral in our bodies, which has multiple roles, including removing waste materials from cells.
Studies have shown that MSM can help reduce inflammation and joint pain in the knee, both due to overexertion and to osteoarthritis. But it also has antioxidant effects that can help protect our skin, hair and nails from premature aging!
