Short answer: MSM is a natural source of organic sulfur — the third most abundant mineral in your body — essential for the disulfide bonds that give collagen its structural strength.
Why sulfur matters for joints
Collagen is a primary structural protein in cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. The disulfide bonds sulfur provides are part of what gives collagen its tensile strength — without adequate sulfur, this structural integrity can be compromised.
How MSM differs from the anti-inflammatory ingredients
Unlike Boswellia or Turmeric, MSM's primary studied role is structural (supporting collagen synthesis) rather than directly anti-inflammatory — a complementary mechanism to the inflammation-focused ingredients in a well-rounded formula.
