Review: Works very good for pain. Not happy that price went up $3 - 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. Review: Very Good ! - This product does help reduce inflammation. Very good product and brand. ## Features - JOINT SULFUR FOR CONNECTIVE TISSUE*: MSM, in its role in the body's sulfur cycle, helps to create the chemical links needed to form and maintain numerous different types of structural tissues of the human body, including connective tissues, such as articular cartilage and skin* - VEGAN CAPSULES/SUPPORTS HEALTHY CARTILAGE*: Sulfur compounds are found in all body cells and are indispensable for life* - CERTIFICATIONS/CLASSIFICATIONS: Non-GMO, Dairy Free, Egg Free, Made without Gluten, Soy Free, Kosher, Vegan/Vegetarian - GMP Quality Assured: A-rated, third-party certification means that every aspect of the NOW manufacturing process has been examined.

The most common method is a reaction of sulfur with methane. In this process methanol (ethyl alcohol from natural gas) is combined with sulfur (hydrogen sulfide or carbon disulfide) in a vapor phase catalytic reaction to form DMS and methylmercaptan (MM; primarily used to make the essential amino acid l-methionine, which is a common dietary supplement). DMS has a number of industrial uses, including conversion to DMSO. This process is generally favored because of its high conversion yield and low energy usage. Some natural gasses contain over 90% sulfur compounds. By contrast, the less common paper mill waste method involves toxic chemicals and far greater energy input. After DSM is produced by either chemical synthesis, it is then oxidized with nitrogen dioxide in a multi-step process to form DMSO. Finally, MSM is produced from DMSO by the catalytic reaction of hydrogen peroxide with DMSO to further oxidize it (DMSO→DMSO2). The process includes gas liquid phase oxidation to produce crude MSM, followed by reduced pressure distillation (vacuum distillation) for additional purification. The result is a fairly pure MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane) that complies with food cGMPs. **Q: What size are the capsules? Hoping medium and not enormous...** A: The NOW MSM 1000mg capsule is one of those you can gently twist to open, then dump the powder into your coffee, that's what I do. **Q: is it true it promotes joint health, relieves joint soreness?** A: Personally I have noticed a big difference in joint pain. I am very active with a practice as a massage therapist for 37 years, I own a very active year old Bouvier pup, and we are out daily in the woods that I live in for a good long walk. I am not a doctor or scientist, but I would say that just doing more actively promotes joint health. I can't recommend this enough - **Q: Is the msm made in us under fda guidelines?** A: The FDA doesn't really regulate supplements. It's all on the honor system, but the website labdoor tests supplements for purity and efficacy as well as allergens. The NOW brand is consistently given grades of 'A'. This supplement isn't tested, but of all brands out there, it is one of the highest rated in general. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very good for pain.
