May benefit joints, hair and nail health. MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is the natural form of organic sulfur found in the tissues of all living organisms and the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. It makes cell walls permeable, so water and nutrients flow in freely, while waste and toxins flow out. MSM plays a part in the body's creation of new cells, and also helps connective tissue absorb fluid to cushion the shock of movement and activity. It's important for the support and maintenance of joint function and may also help with healthy skin, digestion, respiratory and circulation. The nutritional benefits of MSM were discovered by Robert J. Herschler, a chemical researcher, in the early 1980s. OptiMSM® is easily assimilated, and is the first MSM to be certified kosher by the Orthodox Union. NSI formulations use only OptiMSM®, a superior, non-toxic and non-allergenic ingredient. Another source of MSM is NSI Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM, which combines 1 g of MSM with these two nutrients, shown to be effective for bone and joint health. NSI® MSM is better because it:. Contains 1000 mg OptiMSM® per capsule

"I took MSM several years ago to relieve knee pain; a few years ago a doctor told me it was useless to take MSM; said it wasn't effective, so trusting his judgement, I quit taking it. Recently I decided I needed to try it again because the pain was overwhleming. I started taking the MSM the first day I received it and I can honestly say at least 80% of my knee pain has been relieved. I am truly amazed that it works this well; I can sleep through the night again without the pain waking me up!"

"First order of this product from VitaCost-- used to take tablets from Sam's Club (cheap), but realized that the VitaCost product is actually slightly less expensive. Also, I believe the absorption of this product in capsule form may be superior to a tablet form (the powder should be liquified for absorption faster than a solid tablet). Also easier to swallow than a large tablet. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this product. Only wish it was available in a 1,500 milligram strength."

"I take this product in combination with several others for hair growth (technically to keep my hair from breaking off prematurely). Since hair and nails are so closely related, I know for sure that something is working and working well. What I can not say for sure is how much of my success is due to the MSM specifically or if it working synergistically with the other supplements I take. I can tell you that this is a very good value."

"My healthcare provider recommended MSM. I know quality is critical with supplements, so I purchased a product she recommended--at $60/month! Eventually, I became desperate to find another source of MSM that wasn't so expensive. When I found VitaCost, I tried the NSI MSM and was delighted with it. I actually experienced better results at far less cost. I faithfully take four capsules every morning 20 - 30 minutes before breakfast. Thank you VitaCost and NSI!!"

"Have been using MSM for 5 years now to ease the pain in my joints. Husband uses it also. We take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening and it works better than any other remedy we have ever tried and we are in our late 60's. Walking helps also, but MSM is truly a savior for us in the pain easement department."

"MSM was recommended to me by a health nutritionist who referred me to a clinical study that indicated it could potentially provide relief to joint soreness or joint pain. I take 6 capsules a day which is a heavy dosage but I work out 6 times a week and have no joint pain whatsoever. It took about 6 months to achieve this total relief. I would highly recommend over any of the other over highly touted supplements."
