The biochemistry per ingredient
MSM
MSM stands for methylsulfonylmethane, a sulfur compound also found in small amounts in food. Sulfur is present in the amino acids methionine and cysteine, in keratin, and in cartilage components.
Quercetin
Quercetin is a plant substance found in onions and apples, among others. The molecule’s structure allows it to donate electrons and thereby scavenge free radicals. It dissolves poorly in water and is rapidly metabolized after absorption, which is why it is provided in a liposomal form.
Mast cells are immune cells that store histamine, among other things. Quercetin has been studied in relation to these cells using cell cultures and animal models.
How strong is this evidence? The chemistry of MSM and quercetin is well-documented. Data regarding mast cells primarily comes from cell and animal studies. Less research has been conducted specifically on dogs and cats.
