Default Cissus RX and MSM Powder

Trying like hell to work through some pretty annoying shoulder pain
I decided to get some assistance from a suppliment Cissus RX.
So far, all the reviews that I have read on the product have all been
thumbs up!

However, while doing some research on joint pain, tendon/lig inflamation
I also came across a product called: MSM Powder.

Based on what each suppliment offers(Cissus RX and MSM Powder) I am wondering if this could be the 1-2 punch for tendon and lig pain.

Here is a brief overview of the 2 supps:


CICCUS RX
Cissus Quadrangularis has been a staple of traditional Indian medicine for centuries. USPlabs researchers discovered the power of this unique herbal remedy and have now made it available to Western athletes and bodybuilders, or anyone else who wants to strengthen muscle and bone.

Its unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and plant sterol compounds not only build and strengthen muscle and bone, but actually helps deliver nutrients to tendon related injuries, while at the same time soothe the pain of sports related injuries. Common painkillers like aspirin only mask the pain of injured muscles, bones, and tendons and can damage the stomach lining and even cause ulcers. Scientific studies have shown Cissus Quadrangularis actually soothe ulcers by strengthening the gastric mucosa, the stomach's protective lining.


MSM (the abbreviation for methyl-sulfonyl-methane) is a special biological sulfur found in all plants, soils, fruits, vegetables and meats. MSM is extremely important to human beings and all other forms of life because it provides a unique dietary source of sulfur that we must have in order to function. MSM is also called Organic Sulfur.
DO NOT confuse it with the toxic, inorganic medicinal sulfur compounds or sulfites used on salad bars or sulfur dioxide used on some dried fruits. These inorganic sulfur compounds are toxic and may cause allergic reactions in many people.

Can't repair joints without Sulfur
Collagen can't be made in the body unless sulfur is present, so this means your joint cartilage can't be repaired without sulfur (MSM supplementation).
Unfortunately, synthetic fertilizers used today don't contain sulfur, so it isn't replaced in the soil. What little MSM that is available in vegetables, meat, and milk is lost in cooking because heat destroys MSM. Pasteurization is the heating of milk.)

MSM as a dietary supplement has been noted to help with the following: improvement of joint flexibility, reducing stiffness and swelling, improving of circulation, reducing pain in systemic inflammatory disorders such as arthritis, reducing scar tissue, and breaking up calcium deposits.


Have any of you tried this stuff in combonation?
If so, what results did you get?

MSM is good stuff for joints...Combining it with Cissus and or some Glucosamine/ Chondroitin should work really well...
