MSM is a naturally occurring substance that's found in some plants and foods. Derived from sulfur, the uses of MSM in the supplement world are becoming more and more celebrated with each subsequent study.
What's interesting about MSM is that its primary use in the world is as a solvent. It actually helps to break down substances at high temperatures. Though it’s not as good a solvent as water, it does work well in the industrial field, helping to clean and break down other chemicals.
But it's the sulfur derivation that has helped MSM become a part of the health supplementation market. In a study at the University of California at San Diego, MSM was found to help prevent the degeneration of cartilage and of the joints themselves. If this continues to be the finding, the use of MSM could be used to prevent arthritis before it even begins to take hold.
Not only is MSM being linked with the prevention of degeneration, but it's also being linked with the ability to enhance mobility of the joints. This can help a person continue to exercise and to strengthen the surrounding joints and muscles. In doing do, arthritis pain can be reduced even more.
There is some controversy right now about the effectiveness of MSM, so further studies are being done at the moment.
MSM can be taken as a supplement, and is often found to be combined with glucosamine for joint health. Patients can start with a small dose of 1.5 g and move up to 2 and even 3 g as they become accustomed to the supplement.
You might also find, however, that you can see benefits at much lower dosages - every patient is different.
The main concern with MSM is that it might not be necessary to add to the diet as meat-based diets tend to include plenty of sulfur. But for those who eat less meat and for those who do not eat meat at all, MSM seems to be a wise choice.
As with any of the natural supplements described, the best results come from regular daily use of MSM. The body needs to build up a reserve of the chemicals in order to continue to prevent joint degeneration.
Some patients may experience a slight discomfort the first few times they take MSM, so start with a smaller dose at mealtimes to prevent stomach upset as much as possible.
MSM is readily available online and at local drugstores without a prescription, but your doctor should be alerted when you begin an MSM regimen.
