...more potent for the same measure of product.
I have been sold on MSM in general for months, I can feel the relief in my deep lunges, which I was not able to do at all for years before I started taking MSM. I was not able to jog at all, because of leg and knee discomfort. I was taking another brand and I felt incredible relief, to the point I was able to start jogging for the first time. However, when I started taking this brand, it was more potent for the same measure of product. I would take the same amount and do a lunge and go all the way down knee to the ground with practically zero discomfort. I was not asked to give this review, but it relieves my knee pain so much more thoroughly that I thought I had to speak up. It must be the purity, I guess. Whatever you do, if you are experiencing my sort of joint pain from age and fibromyalgia, MSM could be an important part of feeling relief. This particular brand, Doctor's Best with OptiMSM, is even more special.
Additionally, MSM is known for many health benefits: skin, hair, as well as joints. I have to say, I have moved up from taking 1 gram a day to taking 4 grams to 5 grams a day. During all that time, my over 60 year old skin has taken on a more dewy look, not just my face, but my arms and legs as well. Kind of a youthful sheen, even without lotion or anything. Also, my hair has softened considerably. The coarse gray hair seems to be growing out not as wiry.
Overall, MSM has become a daily holy grail supplement, along with magnesium, fish oil, DHA, coq10, vitamin C, choline, theanine, uridine and enzymes. Whatever I do, I take these supps every day, setting myself up for success in energy, cognition, mood, flexibility and endurance. This one is a great choice for MSM since it's effective and not expensive. Best wishes in your health journey.
