Our honest take

Plain MSM, 1,000 mg per capsule, taken as three capsules (3 g) a day, at about 33p a day. It is simple and fairly priced, though Doctor's Best tablets or powder give the same 3 g for less. MSM has only small, short studies with inconsistent results and no authorised health claim.

You prefer Life Extension and want a plain 3 g daily MSM
You are vegetarian (gelatin capsules)
You are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take blood thinners, without checking with your GP
You want the lowest cost per gram: Doctor's Best MSM powder is cheaper

The science

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)· evidence: Limited

MSM is a sulphur compound found in small amounts in some foods. It is popular in joint and beauty supplements. A handful of small, short trials have looked at it, mostly at 1.5–6 g a day, with modest and inconsistent results, and several were linked to the companies that make it.

There is not enough good evidence to say what it does for healthy people, and there is no authorised health claim for it, so we make no claims about its effects. It appears to be well tolerated at the doses studied.

Typical dose: Studies mostly used 1.5–6 g a day

Safety: Generally well tolerated. Can cause stomach upset, wind or loose stools, and some people find it disturbs sleep if taken late in the day. Speak to your GP or pharmacist first if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or take blood thinners.
