MSM 1 KG

MSM is a naturally-occurring sulfur compound which contains anti-oxidant properties. It is found in fruits, vegetables, grains, and fresh forage.  It is also found naturally in the horse’s body (as well as in all vertebrates) in small amounts.  In the body, MSM splits into methionine and cysteine, two important amino acids.  

The supplement, MSM, is derived from DMSO or dimethylsulfoxide, and is commonly used in the horse industry to combat inflammation.  It’s a white, salt-like substance that horses seem to find palatable .
