Om MSM

Jag testar MSM nu för mina knän som krånglar sedan november. 

Msm är både smärtlindrande och antiinflammatoriskt. Det lär kunna påskynda nybildning av brosk (för små studier ännu). Det påverkar all nybildning av celler. Msm ingår i all mat. Dock lär man få sämre upptagningsförmåga med åren. 

MSM lindrar också allergier.

MSM (3g twice a day) improved symptoms of pain and physical function during the short intervention without major adverse events. The benefits and safety of MSM in managing OA and long-term use cannot be confirmed from this pilot trial, but its potential clinical application is examined. Underlying mechanisms of action and need for further investigation of MSM are discussed.

Glucosamin och MSM
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17516722
Glu, MSM and their combination produced an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect in osteoarthritis. Combination therapy showed better efficacy in reducing pain and swelling and in improving the functional ability of joints than the individual agents. All the treatments were well tolerated. The onset of analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity was found to be more rapid with the combination than with Glu. It can be concluded that the combination of MSM with Glu provides better and more rapid improvement in patients with osteoarthritis.

MSM, especially when provided at 3.0 grams per day, may favorably influence selected markers of exercise recovery. More work is needed to extend these findings, in particular using a larger sample of subjects and the inclusion of additional markers of exercise recovery and performance.


Solen skiner idag. Sitter knallförkyld på verandan och undrar varför jag likt förb-skat planterat så mycket när jag ska flytta snart. Men jag njuter av solen och åsynen ändå.
