About Plantforce

Plantforce is a Dutch plant-based supplement brand, specialising in rice protein blends, magnesium, omega-3 from algae and wholefood vitamins. Founded on a vegan nutrition philosophy, with a focus on organic, clean raw materials without unnecessary excipients.

What is MSM used for?

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulphur compound that occurs naturally in small amounts in vegetables, fruit and milk. Sulphur is a building block of connective tissue and cartilage; MSM is therefore traditionally used in connection with joints, connective tissue and skin, and is being investigated in smaller clinical studies around the joint theme. We describe the composition and the lines of research — without promises of effect. You can find more background in our MSM category.
