• Anti-oxidant

MSM’s value as a dietary supplement began mostly from work led by Stanley W Jacob MD, Professor of Surgery at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. Dr Jacob studied MSM’s therapeutic benefits in more than 15,000 patients and was the senior author of The Miracle of MSM and MSM: The Definitive Guide. In this book, Jacob reveals how MSM can significantly decrease the discomfort associated with arthritis, back pain, headaches, athletic injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome and a myriad of autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma, lupus and fibromyalgia.

MSM helps keep cell membranes permeable, which allows nutrients to pass freely into the cell while toxins pass freely out of the cell. In this way, MSM supports healthy cell function and helps rejuvenate cells. It’s also an important part of the hormone insulin, which regulates the body’s use of glucose for energy. It keeps skin, hair, teeth and nails healthy, and is an antioxidant that helps clean the blood, keeping the body free of free radicals.

MSM is an essential nutrient that can help with a range of disorders. Dogs with arthritis, hip dysplasia, digestive problems, allergies, skin problems and eye problems can benefit from MSM supplements. Even dogs with parasites, like roundworms and tape worms, can benefit from MSM supplements.

Some vets believe that MSM is more effective if given along with vitamin C, B vitamins and electrolytes. Your dog’s body needs plenty of water to help remove toxins from the cells.
