MSM FOR JOINT PAINMSM for joint pain has been successful for quite a few years now. MSM is well known for helping relieve pain from Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis, muscle pain, joint pain and inflammation. MSM is a natural substance that actually helps repair joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscle. Many people find MSM works better for pain and inflammation relief than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, or ibuprofen. Some even find MSM more effective than prescription pain medication such as Celebrex. MSM is a nutrient that is found in many foods. But most people don’t get the recommended 1,500-6,000 mg/day through diet alone. Therefore, taking extra MSM either, by liquid, pill, or powder, is usually very helpful for joint pain relief. It’s hard to get enough MSM in your diet alone because most of the foods that contain MSM are foods we are told to eat sparingly, such as meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products.
Another great thing about MSM is that most people experience no side effects when taking it. That makes taking MSM for joint pain a lot safer than almost any over the counter or prescribed drug. MSM won’t cure joint problems or arthritis, but it can sure make living with these problems a lot less painful. I know some people who have been able to stop taking the drugs they were on for pain relief after Which MSM is Best?You want to get pure MSM, without any additives and fillers. You should look for MSM that is called OptiMSM. Some cheap brands of supplements use fatty additives such as magnesium stearate, which is often used as a lubricant in foods to prevent it from sticking to the machinery during the manufacturing process.
Does MSM have Side Effects?MSM is classified as non toxic.The majority of people who have taken MSM have had no unwanted side effects. In a small number of cases, headaches, diarrhea, fatigue, and stomach upset have been reported. Using a lower dose of MSM usually relieves any of these symptoms. To Your Best Health, Dr. Cliff
