The University of Memphis’ Heath & Sports Sciences Department recently presented a scientific poster titled “The Effects of MSM [methylsulfonylmethane] Supplementation on Knee Kinetics During Running, Muscle Strength and Muscle Soreness Following Eccentric Exercise-Induced Quadriceps Damage” at the 39th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Biomechanics.
The study investigated the effects of Bergstrom Nutrition’s OptiMSM supplementation on knee function (knee joint kinetics) during running, along with its effect on muscle soreness following knee-damaging exercises (knee extensor damage), such as running downhill. While MSM supplementation didn’t seem to affect knee joint kinetics after damaging exercise, a portion of the findings suggested return to regular training following knee extensor damage could occur more quickly with MSM supplementation.
“The results of this study add further credibility to OptiMSM’s potential to possibly aid athletes in their recovery times,” said Rodney Benjamin director of research and development for Bergstrom Nutrition.
OptiMSM is a GRAS-designated MSM manufactured by Bergstrom Nutrition.
