OptiMSM®: New Study Suggests Support for Post-Exercise Recovery

A new clinical study from the University of North Texas, in collaboration with Balchem, explored the potential of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) for exercise recovery and immune response.

The study, published in the journal Nutrients, examined MSM supplementation at just 0.5–1 g/day — a much lower dosage than in previous studies (typically 3 g/day).

🏃‍♂️ Key Study Details

• Participants: 10 healthy runners, aged 32–44

• Duration: 30 days

• Dosage: 0.5 g/day for 27 days, then 1 g/day for 3 days

• Activity: Half marathon (21.1 km)

• Goal: Observe immune, antioxidant, and recovery markers

🌿 Main Findings

The results suggest that even 1 g/day of MSM (as OptiMSM®) may help:

• Support the body’s natural antioxidant activity after exercise

• Encourage balanced inflammatory response

• Assist the body’s muscle recovery process

This research adds to the growing scientific evidence showing how OptiMSM® may contribute to maintaining overall wellness and recovery for active individuals.
