Product descriptionWhat is MSM?MSM (methylsulphonylmethane) is a naturally occurring organic sulphur compound that acts as a major building block of complex proteins called glycosaminoglycans, key structural components of joint cartilage. MSM is made up of 34 % sulfur − the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. Sulfur is an important nutrient for the maintenance of joints, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues. MSM occurs in small amounts in certain foods, however nutritionists believe that diets are generally low in sulphur and therefore often recommend an MSM supplement.Why choose Healthspan's MSM tablets?Healthspan's high strength formulation contains 1000 mg MSM (methylsulphonylmethane) per tablet. They’ve also added manganese, an important mineral that contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue. Research suggests that an intake of 2-3 g of MSM daily is required to achieve optimum results – Healthspan MSM tablets provide a convenient way to achieve these recommended levels.IngredientsMethylsulphonylmethane, Bulking Agent: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Coating (Hypromellose, Talc), Anti-Caking Agent: Silicon Dioxide, Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid, Manganese Sulphate.DirectionsSwallow one tablet two or three times daily with water.
