You can get MSM in any horse feed store (or you can pay triple for it at 
the health food stores). Both are pure. The only difference is that the 
people ones come in capsules. I just start with 1/4 tsp/day for about a 
week, then move to 1/2 for the next week... until I level out at 1 
tsp/day. The reason for the small dosage at first is that MSM not only 
helps with joint pain, but it is also a powerful detoxifier. If you take 
too fast, all your toxins that are being eliminated can make you feel 
sick at first. If you increase the dose gradually and drink lots of 
water ( and/or fruit juice-- not the sugary kind) you will be fine. I 
experienced a lot of energy and initially took it for my chronic fatigue 
syndrome. My son took it for his very bad case of acne in high school 
and the Beverly Hills skin doctor was amazed at how fast it worked. He 
initially attributed  it to the antibiotic he prescribed until I pointed 
out I had not filled the Rx yet as he had wanted me to wait for the 
results of the blood test first.
It has truly been a "miracle" drug for our family. Bunny had to stand in 
line to get it himself! Speaking of Bunny, he will be on HorseTV in 
either May or June!! We hope this doesn't go to his head. He is already 
demanding a dressing room like Hildago! :-)

PS Be careful if you have a high allergic reaction to sulfa drugs as it 
is a natural form of sulfur. Some people allergic to the prescription 
form have no reaction to MSM; however, it would be wise to go very slow 
and check with a Dr. if anyone has sulfur allergies.
