  • Which Supplements Can I Recommend to My Osteoarthritis Patients?
    Rheumatology 2018;57:iv75iv87 RHEUMATOLOGY doi:10.1093/rheumatology/key005 Advance Access publication 1 March 2018 Which supplements can I recommend to my osteoarthritis patients? Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/rheumatology/article-abstract/57/suppl_4/iv75/4916021 by Stellenbosch University user on 27 May 2019 Xiaoqian Liu1,2, Jillian Eyles1,2,3, Andrew J. McLachlan4 and Ali Mobasheri5,6 Abstract OA is a chronic and disabling joint disease with limited evidence-based pharmacological treatment op- tions available that improve outcomes for patients safely. Faced with few effective pharmacological treat- ments, the use has grown of dietary supplements and complementary medicines for symptomatic relief among people living with OA. The aim of this review is to provide a summary of existing evidence and recommendations supporting the use of supplements for OA. Systematic reviews and randomized con- trolled trials investigating oral supplements for treating OA were identified. Limited research evidence supports recommendations for the oral use of Boswellia serrata extract and Pycnogenol, curcumin and methylsulfonylmethane in people with OA despite the poor quality of the available studies. Few studies adequately reported possible adverse effects related to supplementation, although the products were generally recognized as safe. Further high quality trials are needed to improve the strength of evidence to support this recommendation and better guide optimal treatment of people living with OA. Key words: osteoarthritis, supplements, self-management, treatment, recommendations, complementary medicines Rheumatology key messages . Limited evidence supports the use Boswellia serrata extract, Pycnogenol, curcumin and methylsulfonylmethane for OA. Available evidence does not support some widely used supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin for OA.

Untargeted metabolomics studies using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) have identified MSM in plasma and urine. However, MS-based methodology is more suitable for pharmacokinetic studies designed to explore MSM’s concentration-effect relationship for purposes of establishing dosing guidelines. To address this deficiency, an LC-MS/MS method using MSM, deuterated MSM (MSM-d6, internal standard), and liquid-liquid extraction was developed and validated in accordance with international guidelines. The method proved well-suited for determining MSM levels in human plasma following chronic oral administration (1, 2, or 3 grams daily) for four weeks.

  • Dietary Supplements for Osteoarthritis Philip J
    Dietary Supplements for Osteoarthritis PHILIP J. GREGORY, PharmD; MORGAN SPERRY, PharmD; and AmY FRIEdmAN WILSON, PharmD Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, Omaha, Nebraska A large number of dietary supplements are promoted to patients with osteoarthritis and as many as one third of those patients have used a supplement to treat their condition. Glucosamine-containing supplements are among the most commonly used products for osteo- arthritis. Although the evidence is not entirely consistent, most research suggests that glucos- amine sulfate can improve symptoms of pain related to osteoarthritis, as well as slow disease progression in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Chondroitin sulfate also appears to reduce osteoarthritis symptoms and is often combined with glucosamine, but there is no reliable evi- dence that the combination is more effective than either agent alone. S-adenosylmethionine may reduce pain but high costs and product quality issues limit its use. Several other supplements are promoted for treating osteoarthritis, such as methylsulfonylmethane, Harpagophytum pro- cumbens (devil’s claw), Curcuma longa (turmeric), and Zingiber officinale (ginger), but there is insufficient reliable evidence regarding long-term safety or effectiveness.

  • Product Data Douglas Laboratories® 04/2012 1
    PRODUCT DATA DOUGLAS LABORATORIES® 04/2012 1 MSM Fundamental Sulfur Capsules DESCRIPTION MSM (Fundamental Sulfur) provided by Douglas Laboratories®, contains 750 mg of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) per capsule. MSM, a derivative of DMSO, is a naturally occurring compound of biologically available sulfur. FUNCTIONS Sulfur is an indispensable element in human nutrition. As part of the amino acids methionine and cysteine, sulfur is required for the structural integrity and function of almost every protein in the body, including enzymes, serum proteins, and the keratin of skin, hair, and nails. Sulfur is also an essential element for the glycosaminoglycans of connective tissues and cartilage, and assumes a major role in liver detoxification as part of the hepatic sulfur conjugation pathways. Proper detoxification of xenobiotics, such as phenols, and many endogenous and foreign food- or air-borne compounds depends on an adequate supply of biologically active sulfur. Dietary MSM serves as a versatile donor of metabolically active sulfur for the synthesis of numerous organosulfur compounds and proteins in the body. As such, MSM helps maintain normal immune response, lung function, connective tissue metabolism, and muscle contraction. MSM occurs naturally in a variety of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, milk, and fish. However, MSM is volatile and easily lost during cooking. MSM is very well absorbed by the intestinal tract and rapidly distributed within the body. INDICATIONS MSM may be a useful dietary supplement for individuals desiring support of joint/connective tissue function, hair and skin support, and liver health. FORMULA (#MSMC) One capsule contains: Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)* .................................... 750 mg *OptiMSM (distilled methylsulfonylmethane) is a proprietary ingredient exceeding industry standards for optimal purity.

  • Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM
    product monograph NPN: 80008779 3345-8 Class: Supplement Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM Ingredients (alphabetical) Medicinal: Chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine sulfate, MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane) Non-medicinal: Coating (dextrin, dextrose, lecithin, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium citrate), croscarmellose sodium, microcrystalline cellulose, purified water, stearic acid, vegetable grade magnesium stearate Allergens Corn, shellfish, soy, starch Source Glucosamine from the hard shells of shell fish, Chondroitin sulfate from bovine trachea, MSM is a derivative of wood lignin. Uses Use as a symptomatic treatment for osteoarthritis. The more traditional glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are used as restorative or anabolic agents for catilage [Bucci, 1994]. MSM provides some pain and anti-inflammatory relief, as well as sulfur for connective tissue enhancement. Recommended Amount Use 1 tablet TID. A workable reduced dosage can be tried for the maintenance phase based on the retention of treatment benefits. The dosage can gradually be reduced at the rate of 1 tablet per 3 months. Increase the dosage if pain returns. In the case of age-related osteoarthritis, it would probably be prudent to remain on at least 2 tablets per day indefinitely. Adverse Side Effects There are virtually no adverse side effects and no toxicity reported with glucosamine sulfate or chondroitin sulfate, both being endogenous to cartilage [Bucci, 1994]. Some have complained of initial gastric upset when using these substances, so recommend with meals. MSM is used at a reduced dose in this product compared to MSM used alone specifically for pain. MSM is not associated with adverse side effects. The overwhelming majority of people who have taken MSM have experienced no adverse effects.

We determined the plasma MSM concentration following four months of oral MSM supplementation at escalating dosages. Methods: 45 men and women (25 ± 5 years) participated in this study. Subjects were assigned to ingest either 1, 2, or 3 grams of MSM daily for 16 weeks. Blood was collected at baseline and following weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 and analyzed for plasma MSM concentration using a LC-MS/MS method. Results: A group (p<0.0001), time (p<0.0001), and group x time (p=0.0005) interaction was noted. Values were higher for the 2 and 3 grams/day group as compared to the 1 gram/day group and were also higher for the 3 grams/day group as compared to the 2 grams/day group (p<0.05). Values at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 were higher as compared to baseline (p<0.05) but no differences were noted between weeks 4-16 (p>0.05).
