Composition:

Methylsulphanomethane

Indications:

Inflammations and painfull conditions of musculo-skeletal system.

Principles of action:

Methylsulfonylmethane is a naturally occurring source of bioavailable nutritional sulfur for horses which aids in the prevention of sulfur deficiency in their diet. It is a direct metabolite of DMSO which has been used to successfully reduce the swelling and inflammation in joints and also soft tissues after trauma or injury for many years. MSM is rapidly distributed and metabolised in the body but the therapeutic effect of MSM has consistently appeared to last longer than could be explained.

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. Sulfur is an essential bonding element in hooves, skin, hair and connective tissue. It also occurs in certain enzymes, hormones and immunoglobulins (antibodies). Levels of MSM are low, or altogether deficient in many processed feeds such as cereal or pelleted food, and even sun-dried hays. The antiinflammatory and analgesic effects of methylsulfonylmethane are recognised, and the ability of added sulphur to assist in the nutritional management of foot and hoof conditions in horses is also well recognised.
