We received a heartwarming story from one of our customers, Nina. We were given permission to share what she wrote to us.
A couple of years ago, my right knee gradually started to get worse, and eventually, it became so bad that it hurt with every step I took. I had taken up running about a year earlier, something I had never done before in my life, but I had to give it up. I had to stop using stairs and started cycling even for the shortest distances. Sometimes, I would have tears in my eyes because it felt like a knife cutting into my knee every time I stepped on my foot. I visited a specialist who diagnosed me with having very little cushioning between the bones, causing them to rub against each other. He suggested that glucosamine might help. I started taking it but also began using MSM, which I had read a lot about. Gradually, my knee got better, and today, I enjoy being able to walk down stairs and take long walks without any pain. I've even been out running. MSM and glucosamine have become essential for me, and I’ve recommended these products to many friends.

We chose MSM from Dr. Mercola because of its high quality. In addition to MSM, it also contains:
L-Methionine
This sulfur-rich amino acid is crucial for the production of the body’s own antioxidant, glutathione. L-Methionine is also a precursor to S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe, known as S-Adenosylmethionine in Swedish, a compound involved in several enzymatic processes, with over 40 enzymatic reactions in the body requiring SAMe).
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (from Sodium R-Alpha Lipoate), Alpha Lipoic Acid
Included for its ability to boost glutathione production in the body. R-alpha lipoic acid is the form preferred by the body. The R-ALA used is highly stable and incredibly bioavailable.
Organic Sulfur Vegetable Blend
Certain vegetables contain organic sulfur compounds. One such group is isothiocyanates, found in vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. Allicin is another sulfur compound, known as the healthy component in garlic. These are included in Dr. Mercola’s MSM.
