MSM and BA show limited effects
The "MESACA" study: methylsulfonylmethane and boswellic acids in the treatment of gonarthrosis.
Study relevance is moderate
In our clinical trial, we investigated the effects of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) combined with boswellic acids (BA) on individuals suffering from knee arthritis, a chronic condition often characterized by joint pain and inflammation. We enrolled 60 participants who were randomly divided into two groups: one group received the MSM and BA treatment for 60 days, and the other group was given a placebo.
Over the follow-up periods of 2 and 6 months, we measured pain levels using a visual analog scale (VAS) and assessed joint function with the Lequesne index (LI). While we found that participants taking MSM and BA reported higher pain levels than those on the placebo after 2 months, these differences did not persist at the 6-month mark. Furthermore, when evaluating joint function, we noted no significant differences between the two groups.
However, one notable finding was that those receiving the combination treatment needed fewer anti-inflammatory drugs compared to the placebo group at both follow-up points. Despite the reduced reliance on these medications, we concluded that combined treatment with MSM and BA did not significantly improve pain or joint function compared to placebo.

Almost painlessly living
Works for rheumatoid arthritis! I’ve been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and have been drinking this product. Maybe the immunomodulator isn't effective and should be increased, but thanks to this, I can live almost painlessly! I believe it’s due to this, as it causes pain in 2-3 days if I don't take it and rely solely on the immunomodulator.

Improved joint condition
After COVID, my joints started troubling me, leading to rheumatoid arthritis. Nothing seemed to help—no injections, ointments, or expensive medicines—so I struggled to even walk. However, after starting to take these with chondroitin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, I began to feel better. Now, I’m able to run again. Stay healthy!

Great results noted
I’ve been taking this product for many years. It helps with my skin, reduces inflammation, and promotes bone density. I originally began taking it for rheumatoid arthritis, and I received such great results that I continue to use it religiously.

Skin and joint improvement
Great quality MSM; my skin and joints really improved! I first discovered MSM for skin, hair, and nails. The sulphur in it works wonders for my skin. My mother, who has rheumatoid arthritis, found it helpful for her joint pain. It’s truly magical for autoimmune patients and excellent for those seeking better skin. Overall, these MSM pills are of great quality, and I wouldn't recommend any other brand.
