Study Shows: Sulfur Based Supplement (MSM) May Fight Arthritis

     A naturally occurring sulfur compound decreased pain and improved physical function in patients with knee arthritis, researchers report.
Methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, has become a popular dietary supplement, but few studies have been conducted involving patients.
 

     Researchers administered MSM twice a day to 25 arthritis sufferers in a randomized, double-blind trial for 12 weeks. The team consisted of doctors from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Ariz., and the Arthritis Health Center in Scottsdale, Ariz.
 

     The patients taking MSM reported significant decreases in pain and improvements in their physical function, compared with a control group taking a placebo, the researchers said.
 

      However, no notable differences were found in stiffness or aggregated total symptoms.
 

     The findings were presented last week at the annual meeting of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians in Phoenix.
 

Note: OneLife’s Joint Flex is a formula containing the noted ingredients of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate & MSM. This combination has proven its effectiveness as noted in several previously published studies. This recent study from the Arthritis Health Center is another we can add to ever growing repertoire of science touting the benefits of OneLife’s Joint Flex product

 

Joint Health - No Side Effects.

If you are one of the millions of arthritis sufferers who have visited their doctor in search of relief, you most likely have been prescribed an NSAID (Vioxx, Celebrex, ibuprofen, etc.) These drugs have been synthetically manufactured to help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis, but not without consequences.
 

Some of you are probably familiar with, and may have experienced some of the side effects of these drugs. These can include simple stomach upset to ulcers, kidney failure or even death. Estimates show that approximately 16,000 deaths occur in the U.S. each year as a direct result of NSAIDs that have caused bleeding ulcers. More recently, research from Brigham & Women’s Hospital (a Harvard University affiliate), suggested that Vioxx might increase the risk of heart attack.
 

There are safe alternatives: Nutrients, such as glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, salmon oil, MSM, ester- C, green tea and anti-oxidants that are effective for promoting joint health. Side effects are rare, and as a matter-of-fact, studies have not shown any serious side effects. These alternatives not only control inflammation like NSAIDs, but some, like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate and green tea have shown to slow the progression of osteoarthritis and may even repair the cartilage. Specifically glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates have shown to work by inhibiting enzymes that break down the joints surface.
