Dimethyl Sulfone 200 mg/mL

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally ocurring source of bioavailable nutritional sulfur for horses, to prevent sulfur deficiency.

DMSO has been used to successfully reduce inflammation and swelling in joints and soft tissues after trauma or injury for many years. DMSO is rapidly distributed and metabolised in the body, but, interestingly, the therapeutic effect of DMSO has consistently appeared to last longer than could be explained. A direct metabolite of DMSO – methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) has since been found to provide the longer term benefits.

What Does It Do?

As the active metabolite of Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), MSM is free from the adverse side effects and withdrawal times seen with DMSO.

DMSO is an anti-inflammatory agent and free radical scavenger.

Levels of MSM are low, or altogether deficient in many processed feeds such as cereal or pelleted food and even sun-dried hays.

The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of MSM are recognised and the ability of added sulphur to assist in the nutritional management of foot and hoof conditions in horses is also well recognised1.  MSM supplementation is recommended for horses with joint disease.
