MSM can be taken for pain. Above all, it helps to relieve pain in the musculoskeletal system. But MSM can also have a positive effect on simple headaches and even migraines.
MSM not only promotes blood circulation in the body and ensures that the muscles can relax, but also promotes the body's own production of anti-inflammatory hormones such as cortisone. (3)
Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, athletes and fitness people in particular like to take MSM tablets. This is because the chemical compound is said to reduce muscle pain and soreness after intensive training sessions and to repair the fibrous tissue cells in the muscles. (2, 8)
