Comment:
I have been taking MSM for over 20 yrs. When I started it, I was having knee surgery for arthritis in my right knee (the left would be done as soon as the right healed). I have never had to have surgery on the left knee! Pain free and extremely happy!

Alleviated my arthritic pain and Fibro. Then gave it to my old dog who is also suffering from arthritis. Worked wonders! She's like a young dog again. Would recommend MSM highly for both arthritic people and dogs.

Comment:
I have used this supplement, which is also a liver cleanser, for years. My fibromyalgia is non-existent most of the time and my energy level is increased when I have daily doses. "Designs for Health" brand is the best!
