- MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
:
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
is a naturally occurring sulfur compound and is widely distributed throughout
the plant and animal food chain. The problem is that its easily
destroyed during food processing, storage, and cooking. This makes the
typical diet marginal at best in terms of its MSM content, resulting
in the problem of increasing sulfur deficiency.
Since sulfur is the fourth most prevalent
mineral in our bodies, it stands to reason that taking it in supplemental
form could bring about some pretty dramatic health benefits. Best of
all, there are no side effects, even at very high doses! Imagine...a
naturally occurring compound thats inexpensive, highly effective
in restoring balance within the body so that many chronic conditions
spontaneously improve, and has proven to be absolutely safe!
MSM is a derivative of Dimethylsulfoxide
(DMSO) and has the same structure less one oxygen atom. It works at
the cellular level and in clinical studies it is referred to as DMSO2.
MSM is the body's preferred source of sulfur (essential for life and
the basic building blocks of our cells). The problem with DMSO is that
it is effective only in a liquid form and if applied to the skin it
carries any substance on the skin right through and into the bloodstream...it
also causes you to exude a garlicky aroma.
The benefits of MSM are many and that is
why some think it is snake oil...however, these people couldn't be more
wrong. These are the same people that doubt the benefits of soy, the
proven health benefits of quality vitamins and minerals, and probably
still don't believe we landed a man on the moon. MSM is used by the
body to make important enzymes, antibodies, glutathione, and connective
tissue, such as cartilage, collagen, hair, nails, and skin. It is critical
for the production of amino acids, the building blocks of protein.
Research tell us that this natural substance
may be the key to balancing essential bodily functions. It may hold
great promise in combating allergies, illness and the body's response
to stress. Note: Do not confuse organic sulfur, which is nonallergenic,
with the synthetic sulfa drugs, which can trigger allergic reactions
in many people
Sulfur deficiencies are associated with
slow wound healing, brittle nails & hair, gastrointestinal problems,
inflammatory, lung & immune dysfunction.
Your liver depends upon dietary sulfur
for proper detoxification process.
Supported by research & multiple patents,
MSM in sufficient levels as a dietary supplement can help & improve
the following conditions:
Multiple allergies & chemical sensitivities.
Gastrointestinal disorders.
Improve circulation & enhance cell vitality.
Reduces capillary fragility.
Improves sore, swollen joints.
Reduces hypertension.
Improves immune system.
Reduces the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Improves sluggish memory.
Hyperacidity & upper GI distress, as an excellent alternative to
antacids & acid blockers.
Increases collagen, improves skin smoothness & elasticity.
Body builders try (1) teaspoon of powder before workout & (1) teaspoon
afterwards. Muscles will not be sore due to MSM's ability to remove
lactic acid build-up.
MSM is virtually non-toxic, non allergenic.
