MSM 500 mg
Indiana Botanic Gardens
Overview
This MSM supplement provides a clinically studied ingredient at a foundational daily dose which contributes to its effectiveness for joint health and muscle soreness. While the efficacy can be enhanced with higher doses, the current recommendation establishes a good starting point for benefits.
The Good

Provides a foundational daily dose that can support general joint health and reduce muscle soreness.
Generally considered safe with a low risk of side effects.
The Bad
The 500mg per capsule dose, while a good starting point, is below optimal daily dosages (e.g., 3g twice daily) often used in studies for significant osteoarthritis pain reduction.
Potential for mild digestive upset (e.g., nausea, diarrhea) in some individuals.
Limited long-term safety data for very high doses.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking joint support, those with mild inflammation, people looking to improve skin, hair, and nail health
