Description
Animed MSM is pure dietary methylsulfonylmethane, a natural sulfur nutrient. This MSM is ultra pure methylsulfonylmethane, a naturally occurring source of bio-available sulfur, an essential mineral for both large & small animals. MSM is a form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms & is the primary metabolite of DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide). When DMSO is applied the majority of DMSO absorbed by the tissues is oxidized to form MSM. Equine & pet owners rely on the quality & value of Animed MSM to deliver the benefits of this unique ingredient. MSM is widely acclaimed by veterinarians & horsemen for its contribution to equine health care.
Research has shown MSM’s importance as a dietary source of sulfur. Sulfur from methylsulfonylmethane is used in the formation of numerous protein-rich structures in the body. MSM contributes sulfur to the disulfide bonds that are essential for the proper conformation of hair, horn & connective tissue proteins, such as collagen. Even hormones & antibodies receive sulfur from MSM. Like vitamin B12, methionine & DMG, MSM is a potential methyl donor.
Methylsulfonylmethane is found in very small amounts in most vegetables, fruits & grains, but it is easily lost due to its volatile nature. The heat & water processing of commercially prepared pet foods and horse/livestock feeds destroys methylsulfonylmethane. The animal’s diet is likely to contain insignificant amounts unless it consists primarily of raw, fresh grain or forage.

Been using this product on my 13 1/2 year old GSD and it makes an amazing difference.
