Methylsulfonylmethane is a stable,
odourless metabolite of DMSO. DMSO has long
been used to efficiently reduce joint and tendon swelling,
post-traumatic pain and
swelling, as well as fatigue in competition horses.
According to experiments by Dr. Metcalf*, Methylsulfonylmethane
has
been shown to be particularly efficient in contributing to
the treatment of
the following symptoms:
- Back pain not related to spinal cord lesions,
but deriving from swelling of the muscles, ligaments and
vertebrae (problems to which racehorses are especially prone).
- Epiphysitis (widespread in young growing
colts)
- Arthirtis and myositis (especially in older
horses)
- Breathing problems (even if caused by allergies)
- Navicolitis and laminitis (problem encountered
especially in jumping- horses).
- Gastric ulcers: Studies and experiments
have shown that Methylsulfonylmethane covers the mucous
membranes with a protective film, keeping gastric hyperacidity
in check so as to reduce ulcers and gastritis, both of which
have recently been found to be widespread in competition
horses.
Methylsulfonylmethane is abundant in
breast milk and in fresh vegetables, although it is almost
totally absent in the normal cereal and straw based staple
generally fed to sports horses and ponies. It is therefore
very important to integrate the diet with this fundamental
element so as to avoid all the syndromes deriving from deficiencies
that would inevitably arise in the case of purely conventional
diets. Methylsulfonylmethane is completely non-toxic even
in very high doses.
