MSM as a pain treatment

MSM can be used for pain relief. In the UK, over 9 million people suffer from some form of arthritis, a condition that may be treatable with MSM. Other people who use MSM on a regular basis are weight lifters and professional athletes. MSM is such a strong pain reliever that it was originally used to treat racehorses to help relieve muscle pain following a race. Doctors and fitness trainers began noticing when athletes began visiting equine supply stores to purchase MSM for personal use and there followed research on MSM in humans which showed that it was safe and well tolerated. People who are concerned about the potentially dangerous side effects of NSAID's (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen, Tylenol, and others often choose to take MSM instead.
