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.

Miraculous healing
They should add this to tap water like fluoride for universal healing. Having recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in both shoulders, I've managed the pain without narcotics. This supplement has greatly improved my situation—less pain, resolving gastric issues, and an overall enhancement in my well-being. It's remarkable that there are no adverse reactions or known drug interactions associated with it.

Capsules easy to swallow
I've been taking 3,000 to 8,000 mg daily for rheumatoid arthritis in my hands alongside Celebrex. It takes a couple of hours in the morning for the drugs to work on the swelling and pain. Initially on steroids, which worked immediately, the pain returned upon tapering. Now, I feel some swelling is kept at bay. The large capsules are surprisingly easy to swallow. Should my rheumatologist approve, I plan to continue this treatment.
