Nature’s Gift for Your Dog’s Joint Health

At Barktiv, we believe in harnessing the power of nature to support your dog's well-being. MSM, or Methylsulfonylmethane, is a natural sulfur compound renowned for its ability to enhance joint health and mobility. Let's explore what MSM is, where it comes from, and how it can benefit your furry friend.

What Is MSM and Where Does It Come From?

MSM is an organic sulfur-containing compound found naturally in various fruits, vegetables, grains, and even rainwater. It's a vital building block for joints, cartilage, skin, hair, and nails. While MSM is present in some foods, the concentrations are often too low to provide therapeutic benefits, which is why supplementation is beneficial.

How Does MSM Support Collagen Synthesis?

Collagen is a primary structural protein that provides strength and elasticity to your dog's connective tissues, including joints and cartilage. MSM plays a crucial role in collagen production by:

Providing Essential Sulfur: Sulfur is a key component of collagen. MSM supplies bioavailable sulfur, facilitating the formation of strong collagen bonds.

Enhancing Collagen Formation: By contributing sulfur, MSM supports the enzymatic processes that synthesize collagen, promoting the maintenance and repair of healthy cartilage and connective tissues.

How Does MSM Support Other Ingredients in Motion+?

In our Motion+ formula, MSM works synergistically with other components to provide comprehensive joint support:

With Glucosamine: MSM enhances the anti-inflammatory effects of glucosamine, collectively promoting cartilage health and reducing joint discomfort.

With Antioxidants: MSM's antioxidant properties complement other antioxidants in the formula, helping to neutralize free radicals that can cause cellular damage in joint tissues.

What Benefits Does MSM Provide?

Incorporating MSM into your dog's diet can offer several health benefits:

• Reduces Inflammation: MSM inhibits inflammatory responses in the body, alleviating joint pain and stiffness, and improving mobility.
• Alleviates Pain: As a natural analgesic, MSM blocks the transmission of pain impulses through nerve fibers, providing relief from chronic pain.
• Supports Joint Health: By promoting collagen synthesis, MSM aids in the repair of damaged cartilage, enhancing joint function and flexibility.
• Detoxifies the Body: MSM assists in flushing out toxins at the cellular level, improving overall health and vitality.
• Boosts Immunity: Regular supplementation with MSM can strengthen the immune system, helping your dog fend off illnesses more effectively.
