Instructions

• 1

  Find a local health food store or other food store that carries supplements. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a common dietary supplement that can provide you with an extra boost of sulfur.

• 2

  Choose the form of MSM that is best for you. MSM usually comes in 500 mg capsules or in powder form. The powder form has a somewhat unpleasant taste, but it can be taken with less frequency than the capsules.

• 3

  If you've chosen the capsule form, take two capsules three to four times a day.

• 4

  If you've chosen the powder form, dissolve one to four teaspoons of the powder in warm water per day (five to 20 grams). You can adjust this amount depending on your pain level. Try adding tomato juice or orange juice to mask the taste.

• 5

  Increase your dosage if pain continues after several days of treatment. Do not exceed 20 grams of MSM per day.
