MSM 1000 mg, 100 capsules

As people age, systemic inflammation can inflict degenerative effects throughout the body.1-5 A primary cause of this destructive cascade is the production of cell-signaling chemicals known as inflammatory cytokines. Along with these dangerous cytokines, imbalances of hormone-like messengers called prostaglandins also contribute to inflammatory processes.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane or dimethyl sulfone) is a sulfur-contain-ing molecule found in various plants and some body tissues. It is a natural and efficient source of the sulfur that is used by many of the body’s structural molecules.56-58
