MSM – a biogenic sulfur compound
It is a natural dietary supplement designed to supplement the daily nutrition of dogs and cats. MSM (metylosulfonylometan) is an organic form of sulfur, which plays a key role in maintaining the proper functioning of connective tissues, joints, skin, coat, and muscles. It is easily absorbed and well tolerated by the animals' bodies.
The sulfur contained in MSM is essential for the synthesis of collagen, keratin and glutathione – substances responsible for the elasticity of the skin, strong nails, healthy and shiny coat, and the functionality of the locomotor apparatus. Regular MSM supplementation can significantly support regeneration of joint cartilage, ligaments and muscles, therefore this product is particularly recommended for dogs and cats that are physically active, athletic, during recovery, and for seniors with signs of degenerations and stiffness of the joints.
MSM exhibits anti-inflammatory, detoxifying and antioxidant actions. It improves tissue oxygenation, reduces muscle pains and swelling and accelerates recovery after intense physical exertion. Additionally MSM may alleviate symptoms of skin allergies of dietary origin – it reduces itching, skin redness or dandruff.
It also supports wound healing and skin regeneration, therefore it is also used in the therapy of dermatoses and as a supplement to treatment of skin diseases in dogs and cats with a sensitive, irritation-prone coat.
Tip:
For increasing the effectiveness of MSM, it is recommended to combine it with RawDietLine Rose Hip Fruit – a natural source of vitamin C, which supports the absorption of sulfur and enhances its antioxidant action.
