Sorry---what is MSM?

My information is that the Chondroitin molecules are too large to pass

through the intestinal wall, and that it is the Glucosamine that does

the job.

Apparently the Chondroitin just gets excreted, and it is a waste of

money to buy

Glucosamine with Chondroitin.

MSM is what you need with the Glucosamine.

I'm sure this will stimulate a storm of responses, so let's hear from

our

pharmacists.

Wondering about the best source of MSM.

Am taking glucosamine. Not chondroitin...as there has been some thought that

chondroitin may increase cell proliferati0n (and I have had breast cancer)
