The MSM is an extra ingredient, as I understand your vet would tell you if you needed that or not. I have a 2 year GSD and he is on the regular Dasuquin for preventative measures. If you aren't sure either ask your vet or just stick with the regular bottle. Your vet may try and get you to buy from them, it is almost twice the cost so be careful.

First let me tell you I'm not a Veterinarian. I would first suggest you talk with your Veterinarian before asking questions about products like Nutramax Dasuquin you order on line.My pup is a service dog and is my constant companion and I conduct as much research as I can on every product for my pet when ever a new product is prescribed. Dasuquin with MSM adds Methylsulfonylmethane for even stronger joint support for dogs. Please talk with your Veterinarian before giving any new product to your pet.

I have tried this with and without the MSM. It seems to be just as effective for my 10 year old dog without so now I order without. Also saves a few bucks!

All I know is that it is a sulphur product. I get it without MSM because I am allergic to sulphur and I have to break up my dogs pills. I don't want to touch it. But for the benefits from what I have read it helps with joint aches and pains.

All MSM & DMSO supplements are now artificially synthesized from organic fossilized plant/animal petrochemicals not food. Dr's Best uses the best MSM supplement OptiMSM distilled to 99.99% pure USA/occasionally high-standard Japan sourced (100% pure would be a scientifically impossible exaggeration). Food-based MSM is in grassfed animal proteins and rainwatered not irrigated or hothouse crops :)

I agree that there is nothing in the description of the product that tells consumers what they are buying. For example, this information should be printed in the product description: The daily "serving size" is 2 tablets = 1500 mg glucosamine and 1200 mg chondroitin. Thus, EACH TABLET is 700 mg glucosamine and 600 mg chondroitin. There is no MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) in this product which other manufacturers have in their products. What is known is that there are 2 bottles containing 170 tablets each = 340 tablets. Of course, use simple math to compute the cost of each tablet including shipping if applicable.

According to the label the ingredients are as follows: Water, Genuine Zechstein magnesium chloride (and natural trace minerals). 3g elemental magnesium per fl. oz/30 mL. 8 sprays delivers approximately 100 mg of elemental magnesium on the skin. The label does not mention anything about having MSM or being MSM-free. Hope that helps.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a bioavailable sulfur. Sulfur is a necessary component that works in conjunction with Glucosamine to provide the building blocks of collagen, an important component of healthy joints and connective tissue.†

Hello, Do not listen to them that Supplements do not work or are not needed. Proof is in the pudding, in your case it is MSM ingredients, be it this particular product, or any other that contain MSM. Why are you taking this product ?. Find the answer after you start taking it, is it helping you with your situation or pain !. If it does then do not listen to the experts on everything that supplement do not work. They do but you need to buy from a reputable company on Amazon, along with others reviews very important to way other's opinion from their experiences . I listen to those who attack the supplements and I smile and laugh at them, not all supplement you will be able to see or know the result 100% but yet I take them anyway for instance Resvertroll supplement you really can not tell if it works, but I take it on faith. Another supplement that I know with my eyes closed that has a 100% protection for me is Vitamin C 1000 mg I take 6000 a day 2 morning, 2 launch, 2 bed time, along with Vitamin D 20,000 a day 10,000 morning, 5,000 at launch, and 5,000 bed time. I do not catch cold at all and if I feel something is wrong in the system, I i-m-m-e-d-i-a-t-e-l-y take more of both. And many other supplements that I take on a regular bases, so watch your own system, and must decide for yourself as what works for you. Stay away from CANCER by not eating killed animals , and start educating your self, you have the Internet ask questions and will receive answers.

Maybe this might help, taken from a google search? "Since the amount of MSM found naturally in living materials is too small to be extracted, the MSM used for dietary supplements is manufactured. The makers of OptiMSM® developed a four-stage process to separate impurities including heavy metals and other contaminants from OptiMSM®. Each batch exceeds the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) monograph standards for MSM, and is validated by testing in independent laboratories."

As it pertains to Mrm Msm creM, there is no listed perecentage ( that I was able to locate).~,however msm is the 2nd ingredient listed which suggests that behind the deionized water the cream is made up of mostly msm. This wasnt enough for me so I went to a vitamin shop and but 100% msm in liquid form and added it to the cream.

Yes, the MSM portion IS a bioavailabile source of sulfur. It works with the Glucosamine to help build collagen, an important component for healthy joints and connective tissue. Research shows that the two work very well together.

MSM is an additional joint supplement. Some people even use MSM on it's own. I worked with show horses and race horses for ten years and we used a similar injectable equine version of Dasuquin that goes by a different name as well as an additional MSM supplement as at the time we were unaware of a combination formula. Basically two supplements in one. Hope this helps.

MSN is thought to add pain relieving benefits. There are no definitive scientific studies to prove it works for all the claims it makes. I am trying it to see if my Lab does better on the Dasuquin with it than without.

I have never heard of MSM being used to lighten skin at all. It is something you ingest, for health reasons. I use it for treatment of arthritis, similar to taking glucosamine. I have been using it for about a year and my skin tone has not changed.
