evidence for msm (methylsulfonylmethane)

Our honest take

Plain MSM, 1,000 mg per vegan capsule with nothing else but a little inulin, taken as two capsules a day (2 g). At about 25p a day it is fair value for a simple MSM. MSM has only small, short studies with inconsistent results and no authorised health claim, so think of it as an experiment.

You want a simple, vegan MSM capsule at a fair price
You want to try MSM on its own rather than in a blend
You find supplements late in the day disturb your sleep: the maker advises against evening doses
You are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take blood thinners, without checking with your GP
You want the cheapest MSM per gram: Doctor's Best MSM powder costs less

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.
