I think MSM (Methyl Sufonyl Methane) is reputed to be more effective for treating arthritic and rheumatoid conditions.
Moore, R.D., et al. Diminished inflammatory joint disease in MRL/1pr mice ingesting dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. 69th Annual Meeting. Vol. 692, April 1985.
Animals fed a diet that included a 3% solution of MSM in drinking water from the age of two months until the age of five months experienced no degeneration of articular cartilage. In a control group of mice receiving only tap water, 50% of animals experienced focal generation of articular cartilage.
