My understanding is that MSM is the / a metabolite of DMSO,
a known anti-inflamitory.  Can you check with your DVM
friend on this and let us know?

My own one rat ex-racer TB studies show definate decreases 
in inflamation using MSM as stated on the jar.  I've also
used MSM as an anti-inflamitory agent in Blue when needed,
such as when he popped a splint.

Again, I'd rather see my endurance horse on a joint supp 
that I don't have to worry about stopping before he goes 
to a ride.
