NOW Supplements, MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) 1,000 mg, Joint Health*, 240 Veg Capsules

I recommend this to everyone and anyone. During my active duty military career, I have unfortunately experienced several injuries; left wrist dislocated multiple times, each knee experiencing pain, pops, and left knee slightly hyperextended, an ACL tear on the right knee, both ankles experienced ligament tears, hyperextension of right shoulder which caused tendinitis, almost constant back pain, and trochanteric busitis amongst others. It could have been much worse, thankfully they weren’t so my initial recovery was successful and timely and it didn’t interfere with my capabilities to exercise and complete all of my duties and responsibilities during my service, or even after I started the next chapter of my life as a civilian. However, it started to come back and haunt me.. Hiking became much too painful, running for more than a half a mile made me tear up with pain, and soon long walks with my husband became something that we no longer were able to share and enjoy. I would barely manage to walk 2 miles on a very, very good day before my knees, hip, and back started to scream. My mother told me about MSM and how she had been taking them for a while. Her gums bled every single time she brushed her teeth for 7 years - she said that completely stopped after only 3 weeks of taking MSM. She said her back now felt better, and her knees no longer locked up or felt sensitive sitting up or down. I immediately ordered some and took it especially after reading that MSM helps and supports connective tissue and cartilage. Within only 1 month, I experienced relief and strength, it was incredible! That first month, I didn’t participate in any physical exertion, but the usual aches I would feel during work or doing chores around the house, felt much, much better. The second month of taking MSM every single day, I was able to make it a full mile without any pain! Only around the 1.5 mile distance, I started to hurt again. I walked 3 miles with my husband without needing to stop due to pain at the 4 month mark. Currently, I have been taking MSM for over 3 years. I was so overjoyed with being able to enjoy activities with family and majority of the time completely pain free that I was shocked and ashamed when I realized I hadn’t left a review immediately when I saw these changes. But I can now confidently share this since I’ve been taking it for a long period of time. I feel tremendously grateful and blessed that my health can now support me running 5 miles on the treadmill, 3 to 4 times a week before feeling any type of injury related pain, and walk 8-9 miles with my husband before feeling any type of pain related to my injuries. My knees are now able to handle 230-250 lbs on the leg press without any pain. I can finally do shoulder presses again without reliving the injury with every rep. I need to stress and cannot stress enough that around the same time I start to take MSM, I also radically changed my eating habits to a clean and much healthier diet. Prior to MSM, I was far too lenient with my eating choices and my sleep cycle was out of rhythm. Around the time I took MSM was when I simultaneously committing myself to improving areas in my life that I tended to ignore like food, sleep, and water consumption. Lots of water, only natural sugar derived from the food/fruit itself, absolutely no processed meat or artificial sugars, lots of organic veggies, fruits, healthy omega fats, and fish dominated our meals and have stayed this way. On top of this, I started to take several different supplements, multivitamins, and drank tea replacing sugary beverages. For me, MSM is a game changer, but I want to make sure that my review isn’t misleading and sounding as if MSM is an absolutely/instant cure and could be seen as a supplement with almost magic-like properties, results, and benefits. I apologize if it sounded that way, it really was not my intention. I give so much credit to MSM because a lot of the pain from my injuries are tissue and cartilage that are now almost completely gone, But there are just so many other changes, habits, and factors that contributed to my boost in health and I again apologize if my review sounded misleading. I consider myself truly blessed and fortunate to experience such amazing changes and I simply encourage anyone who has obstacles due to pain to give this a try considering the positive results I experienced. I genuinely pray that you are able to experience better health and relief from pain through this.

great ingredients, and I have been using this product daily for years now

I find these are very effective in keeping my knees feeling good. If I skip them for a few days, my knees definitely start to feel stiff and hurt. No smell, no taste, fair-sized capsule…

Very good, no issues, just wish it was chewable from you guys instead of capsules but it's all good

I LOVE this brand of MSM. I have tried so many different brands of MSM, including those that incorporate other ingredients like glucosamine. This brand in this form works the best for me. I have recommended it to friends & family. We all love it. Throughout my review, I will refer to it as "this MSM" because I have tried many other brands. I have also tried MSM products with other ingredients like glucosamine added to it. I always return to this MSM because it works unlike any other.I started taking this MSM when I was training for a marathon. I could feel it working in a matter of a couple of days. I no longer woke up with sore joints, which meant that I could run longer. It was an absolute game-changer. I also play the violin, so my finger joints are often sore. With this MSM, I can rigorously prepare for performances without experiencing physical pain.When my mom told me that the joints in her hands were so stiff that she could not bend/unbend her fingers, I immediately thought to send her a bottle of this MSM. Her work is very hands-on, so she was always in pain. She regularly went to the doctor to get cortisone shots. for some temporary relief. My mom's experience with this MSM was similar to my own. She felt the effects in about two days. She no longer felt pain in her hands. She could bend & unbend her fingers again. She has since stopped going to the doctor for those cortisone shots. She takes two capsules of MSM, twice a day, & has had no joint issues from that point forward. I have her signed up on my Subscribe & Save, so she has a good supply. This MSM is a must-have in her daily routine.I also recommended it to my husband, who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome in both of his hands/arms. His condition is so severe that he wears wrist braces, 24-7. Ever since he started taking this MSM, the pain has noticeably decreased. He is able to go without the braces for extended periods throughout the day. He also takes this MSM, daily.This MSM is awesome! Definitely buy it!I just assumed that it was worth a try, since she was already in so much pain & she welcomed the help. After the second day of taking this MSM, my mom could bend her fingers again & she was ecstatic. I was surprised because although I had hoped that it would help, I had no idea that it would work so quickly. I also had no clue that it would be so effective.The reason I started taking it was to maintain my good health, so I did not experience a "night & day" difference like my mom did. I had no idea that it would play such a big role in relieving her pain & improving her quality of life. She takes this brand of MSM, every day, & has stopped going to the doctor for the cortisone shots. When she ran out, my sister bought her another brand from a well-known big box store, but it was not as effective as this specific brand. I now her scheduled for Subscribe & Save on this item, so that she never runs out.
