MethylSulfonylMethane 500 mg (MSM) 60 Capsules

A nutritional supplement for dogs and cats to support joint and connective tissue functions. Methylsulfonylmethane is a naturally occuring sulfur compound found in every cell of the body. It has a vitamin-like normalizing influence on body functions. A low concentration of Methylsulfonylmethane in the body has been associated with both physical and psychological stress, organ and tissue malfunction, fatigue and susceptibility to disease. Sulfur is found in small amounts in fruits, vegetables, and grains but because of its volitile nature, it is easily lost. Supplementing the diet with additional sulfur ensures the body's ability to synthesize collagen for connective tissue health, maintain membrane flexibility and promote cell regeneration. The concentration of Methylsulfonylmethane in the body begins to decrease over time, so deficiencies may occur as part of the aging process. Sulfur deficiencies are associated with brittle nails and dull fur, slow wound healing, and gastrointestinal, immune system, joint and connective tissue dysfunctions. Each capsule provides 500 mg of Methylsulfonylmethane. Ingredients: Methylsulfonylmethane, Rice Flour, Magnesium Stearate (0.1% Silicon Dioxide to prevent caking). As a dietary supplement, give one capsule per 20 lbs of body weight. Give orally or break capsule open and mix with food. For doses of more than one capsule, divide between AM and PM.
