MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) comes in the form of a dietary supplement that provides a rich nutritional source of bioavailable sulfur to your pet‘s diet. MSM is found in most natural, unprocessed foods, but because of its volatility/fragility, MSM is readily lost when fresh food is processed and/or stored, therefore making it beneficial to supply it to the diet. In research studies, joints affected by osteoarthritis have lower sulfur content. And in a preliminary double-blind trial with patients with osteoarthritis, they found that MSM reduced pain after six weeks.
“It is my personal experience using MSM in canine feed trials over the years, there was a definite increase in mobility in those animals with arthritis. In young growing dogs with developmental orthopedic diseases: HOD, OCD and Pano - MSM helps to levels out growth patterns by correcting nutrient/mineral malabsorbtion in the body. I have seen significant benefits to using MSM for arthritis in seniors and in large/giant breeds prone to digestive upset and bloat and gastric torsion.”
