NuVena - MSM 350g
Description:
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound known for its wide range of health-promoting effects. It is widely used in equine supplementation to support joint health, recovery, skin condition, and overall well-being.
When is MSM recommended?
-
For horses in intensive training
-
For horses with joint degeneration or limited mobility
-
During inflammation of joints, muscles, tendons, or bones
-
To improve the condition of skin, coat, and hooves
-
In cases of skin irritation or a tendency toward chafing and abrasions
-
To help reduce allergic symptoms affecting the skin or respiratory system
Key Benefits of MSM:
Anti-inflammatory support
MSM helps to suppress inflammatory processes by inhibiting the production of proteins like cytokines and prostaglandins—key players in the development of inflammation. In particular, it reduces prostaglandin levels, a hormone whose overproduction accelerates inflammatory responses.
Skin, Coat, and Hooves
Sulfur is essential for the production of collagen and keratin—proteins that are critical for healthy skin, shiny coat, and strong hooves. MSM supports connective tissue regeneration and helps repair skin damage by aiding protein and amino acid synthesis.
Joint Health and Mobility
MSM stimulates collagen production and supports cartilage regeneration, contributing to better joint flexibility and improved synovial fluid quality. For horses with joint wear or stiffness, this translates into better comfort and mobility.
Muscle Recovery
By reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, MSM speeds up muscle recovery after intense training. It also boosts levels of glutathione—one of the body's most powerful antioxidants—helping to prevent post-exercise soreness and stiffness.
Antioxidant Protection
MSM helps neutralize free radicals produced during strenuous exercise. Research in horses shows that MSM supplementation effectively reduces oxidative stress. The antioxidant benefits are even more pronounced when MSM is combined with vitamin C.
Immune System Support
MSM plays an important role in supporting the immune system. Its sulfur content helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, while also contributing to glutathione production—an essential molecule for immune defense and overall health.
Allergy Relief
Studies in humans show that MSM can help alleviate allergic symptoms such as itchy eyes, nasal discharge, coughing, and shortness of breath. This is thanks to its anti-inflammatory action and ability to modulate the immune response by reducing cytokine and prostaglandin release.
