MSM enhances bone cell differentiation
We investigated how methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) interacts with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) to potentially enhance the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into osteoblasts, which are crucial for bone health. The study revealed that both MSM and BMP-2, when combined, lead to increased levels of certain proteins that aid in this process.

Observing changes in cell structure and mineral deposits helped us see the effectiveness of these treatments. The researchers noted that using MSM alongside BMP-2 significantly boosted the differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts compared to using either treatment on its own.

Moreover, the findings indicated that the combination treatment elevated the expression of genes related to osteoblast differentiation. This suggests that MSM could play a beneficial role in promoting bone formation when used with BMP-2. However, it is essential to consider that the study's focus on the combination makes it challenging to assess MSM's isolated impact on osteoporosis directly.

Excellent! My mother is quite elderly and suffers from severe osteoporosis, as well as occasional low back pain following a lower back injury, which caused her to bend over. Due to concerns about side effects from Western medicine, alongside taking Life Extension’s Bone Strength Collagen Formula, I also added MSM for its anti-inflammatory benefits and to strengthen cartilage and connective tissue. After nearly a month, my mother can finally straighten her back and has experienced significant pain relief. This product has been beneficial for her back pain, and I plan to continue purchasing it.

I appreciated the composition and quality of this supplement. After reading good reviews regarding its effectiveness for knee issues, I ordered it for my father, with my doctor's advice. The doctor mentioned it's a good supplement for joints and osteoporosis. Although Dad has just started taking it, he claims that the pain is already alleviated. The results appear to be quick, and I am pleased with my purchase. I will update with another review later.
