The product is found useful for the following medical conditions

We aimed to understand how methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) impacts symptoms of allergic rhinitis through a well-structured randomized, double-blind study.

Participants, who were prone to allergic responses, were tested after taking varying doses of MSM following allergen exposure.

Interestingly, the results showed that MSM significantly eased nasal symptoms and improved airflow, making it a potential alternative to conventional allergy medications.

We’re excited by the findings, as MSM appeared effective without common side effects associated with typical treatments.

This vegetarian product caught my attention as it contains no shellfish, which is crucial as I have shellfish allergies. I suffer from joint pain, and after taking one a day for about a week, I began to notice a difference in my joint condition. I prefer not to take prescription pain relief as they leave me feeling loopy and cause other problems; this product has been a great alternative for my pain management.

The anti-inflammatory effects have prevented muscle spasms, which I previously struggled with. I learned that glucosamine and MSM are better absorbed than chondroitin.

Autoimmune Disorder details

KCNA2 autoimmunity diverse; immunotherapy beneficial

Arlt FA, Miske R, Machule ML, Broegger Christensen P, Mindorf S, et al. KCNA2 IgG autoimmunity in neuropsychiatric diseases. Brain Behav Immun. 2024;117:399. doi:10.1016/j.bbi.2024.01.220

We analyzed data from 35 patients with KCNA2 IgG autoantibodies linked to various neuropsychiatric issues, including cognitive impairment and seizures. These autoantibodies were notably present in cerebrospinal fluid in some patients and showed different subclasses in serum.

Notably, four patients saw significant improvement with early immunotherapy, particularly those with autoimmune encephalitis. The findings suggest that KCNA2 autoimmunity is varied, indicating the need for more research to clarify its role and therapeutic approaches.

Works brilliantly! I used glucosamine and MSM separately but decided to combine them for their enhanced anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects on joint issues. MSM strengthens the musculoskeletal framework, helping not just after injuries, but also as a preventative measure. I highly recommend this product; it's been a game changer for my autoimmune disorder.

A good supplement that helped my father with his elbow joint pain. After 3-4 weeks, we noticed decreased bone pain and improved joint mobility. I recommend using it for 2 months two to three times a year. The combination with collagen type 2 and Chondroitin Sulfate works well.

N-Acetyl Glucosamine reduces arthritis

Richter J, Capková K, Hříbalová V, Vannucci L, Danyi I, et al. Collagen-induced arthritis: severity and immune response attenuation using multivalent N-acetyl glucosamine. Clin Exp Immunol. 2014;177:121. doi:10.1111/cei.12313

We aimed to understand how N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), a compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties, affects the development and severity of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Our investigation involved applying a special multivalent GlcNAc-terminated glycoconjugate and assessing its influence through various methodologies.

The results were promising. We observed that GlcNAc treatment significantly reduced inflammation at the site of arthritis, notably decreasing the presence of immune cells that contribute to the disease. Furthermore, it appeared to hinder the activation of other immune cells, which are often involved in the production of harmful pro-inflammatory molecules.

Additionally, GlcNAc treatment not only delayed the onset of arthritis symptoms but also eased the severity of these symptoms in many cases. We found that about 18% to 31% of participants treated with GlcNAc completely avoided any arthritis symptoms. Overall, our findings support a new approach to managing arthritis by focusing on the glycobiological aspects of treatment, presenting GlcNAc as a potential therapeutic option for those suffering from this debilitating condition.

MSM improves mild knee pain

Toguchi A, Noguchi N, Kanno T, Yamada A. Methylsulfonylmethane Improves Knee Quality of Life in Participants with Mild Knee Pain: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial. Nutrients. 2023;15. doi:10.3390/nu15132995

We explored the effects of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) on knee pain through a well-structured randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Involving 88 healthy participants, the study compared the outcomes of those taking MSM against a placebo over a 12-week period.

Results showed that MSM significantly improved knee health and overall well-being according to the Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure, with a notable difference in scores between the two groups.

This suggests that MSM could be a helpful option for those dealing with mild knee pain.

Glucosamine has greatly improved my joints, especially my knees, which feel better now than they did fifteen years ago. I can play tennis, basketball, do yard work, and take dance lessons weekly. This improvement is remarkable, considering I thought I'd have to limit my activities.
