Most experts recommend that MSM be taken with food, although it is not absolutely necessary. By taking MSM with food, the chances of minor gastrointestinal upset can be reduced.

Amino Acids are very delicate and the products are very precise, patented formulations. If mixed with another amino acid for example, the amino acids in the food will "alter the mix", eliminating it's "synergism". In addition, when combined with food, they are not as readily absorbed. This alone can reduce their effectiveness by up to 60%. See similar questions...

Yes there is. MSM occurs naturally in the environment, and is present in rainwater, and is absorbed by plants.

Cats with sensitive stomachs need easily digestible ingredients with as little processing as possible. All of our balanced diets for cats contain no fillers and use only highly digestible ingredients to maximize nutrient digestibility. The average digestibilities from on-going feeding trials are as follows: Dry Matter 85%, Protein 85%, Fat 95%, Carbohydrate 90%, and Energy 88%. These consistently repeatable values are a testimony to Fromm's high quality and commitment to excellence. See similar questions...

MSM is highly soluble - it is easily lost during the cooking and processing of foods. Many people find it impractical to eat raw unprocessed foods on a daily basis so research has suggested that most people are deficient and that deficiency increases with age (2) See similar questions...

MSM is methylsuphonylmethane. It's a sulfur compound. It's been found useful in the relief of symptoms associated with allergies, gastrointestinal upsets, arthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders. Glucosamine is most often an ingredient that can be found mixed with MSM, that promotes healthy joints and tissues. I use and recommend Agility by HealthyPetNet for my Boxers, as a preventative.

to avoid stimulation of the digestive enzyme secretion, which accompanies the entry of food into the stomach and which could have an adverse effect on probiotic preparations. The lyophilized bacteria present in Intestiflora and Infantiflora capsules are in the so-called "suspended-life" state. In the presence of moisture, at a temperature of 37?C, (which is the optimum growth temperature), the probiotic bacteria may revive. See similar questions...
