The evidence in words
Safety profile
Well tolerated; mild GI effects.
Interactions to respect
No major interactions are on record for MSM at typical doses, but tell your clinician about everything you take.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound used for joint pain and recovery.
The honest bottom line
A cheap, safe, modest add-on for joint pain and recovery. Fine in a stack; not a standout on its own.
