Why should glucosamine be used in conjunction with MSM?
A. In a new study, the combination of glucosamine with MSM was found to be more effective in improving the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis than the use of either agent alone. The study authors concluded that the combination of glucosamine with methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) provides better and more rapid improvement in patients with osteoarthritis than either agent alone.
