NOW Supplements, MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) 1,000 mg, Joint Health*, 240 Veg Capsules

I think that an increase of $3 a bottle is price gouging! I am not happy with that after using for months at the lower price. True everything has increased in price usually an average of .50 cents for this price range. That's the problem when you find a good product and write positive reviews to share with others. They get greedy and raise the price....HoHum!I do however, like the product and even tried a different product that was stronger but didn't give the relief from pain that this one does. So like everyone else, I am stuck with the price increase because the company or distributor got greedy! I ordered this time but will look for a different distributor or the company website in the future.I was confused because some people had different reactions to taking it initially so I went to different sources to find out why. I found out that this is an anti-oxidant and cleanses toxins from your body. Some people that have built up toxins will experience headaches, stomach upset or other reactions. If that is the situation always take with food and reduce the amount you are taking. Also, taking with Vitamin C will help with how it absorbs into your body. Make sure that if taking medications that you space about 2 hours before or after when taking with Vitamin C or your medications won't be as effective. After taking a comfortable amount for about 2 weeks then slowly increase. Also, it is unusual but some people cannot take sulfur and do have reactions. I did not have any negative side effects with this brand when starting with 2 in the morning and two at dinner. I felt the effects within a couple of days in my knees that were very painful. I started walking again daily (about 15 min) and the results got better and pain free. During the winter when I was less active, they didn't work as well but still better than taking medications. So staying active is key.I did find that my hair grew faster and my skin is more even toned which were another plus. They are good for your digestive system and removing toxins as I mentioned above and also helps with allergies. I am giving small amounts to my dog with peanut butter and her nasal allergies are better. You should also drink plenty of water to aid the release of toxins or you could get headaches. I really like the product just not the price now. With so much competition for this product, I don't think it was a good idea for such a drastic price increase. I have also read where some people have had a good experience for dental issues and would like to know more. Overall it sounds like MSM is a very beneficial product and I plan to keep taking.

I LOVE this brand of MSM. I have tried so many different brands of MSM, including those that incorporate other ingredients like glucosamine. This brand in this form works the best for me. I have recommended it to friends & family. We all love it. Throughout my review, I will refer to it as "this MSM" because I have tried many other brands. I have also tried MSM products with other ingredients like glucosamine added to it. I always return to this MSM because it works unlike any other.I started taking this MSM when I was training for a marathon. I could feel it working in a matter of a couple of days. I no longer woke up with sore joints, which meant that I could run longer. It was an absolute game-changer. I also play the violin, so my finger joints are often sore. With this MSM, I can rigorously prepare for performances without experiencing physical pain.When my mom told me that the joints in her hands were so stiff that she could not bend/unbend her fingers, I immediately thought to send her a bottle of this MSM. Her work is very hands-on, so she was always in pain. She regularly went to the doctor to get cortisone shots. for some temporary relief. My mom's experience with this MSM was similar to my own. She felt the effects in about two days. She no longer felt pain in her hands. She could bend & unbend her fingers again. She has since stopped going to the doctor for those cortisone shots. She takes two capsules of MSM, twice a day, & has had no joint issues from that point forward. I have her signed up on my Subscribe & Save, so she has a good supply. This MSM is a must-have in her daily routine.I also recommended it to my husband, who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome in both of his hands/arms. His condition is so severe that he wears wrist braces, 24-7. Ever since he started taking this MSM, the pain has noticeably decreased. He is able to go without the braces for extended periods throughout the day. He also takes this MSM, daily.This MSM is awesome! Definitely buy it!I just assumed that it was worth a try, since she was already in so much pain & she welcomed the help. After the second day of taking this MSM, my mom could bend her fingers again & she was ecstatic. I was surprised because although I had hoped that it would help, I had no idea that it would work so quickly. I also had no clue that it would be so effective.The reason I started taking it was to maintain my good health, so I did not experience a "night & day" difference like my mom did. I had no idea that it would play such a big role in relieving her pain & improving her quality of life. She takes this brand of MSM, every day, & has stopped going to the doctor for the cortisone shots. When she ran out, my sister bought her another brand from a well-known big box store, but it was not as effective as this specific brand. I now her scheduled for Subscribe & Save on this item, so that she never runs out.
