 MSM or
MethylSulfonylMethane is a naturally occurring organic sulfur found in the
tissues of all plants and animals (including humans). In fact, sulfur is the
fourth most abundant mineral in the body. The proper acid/alkaline balance
of the body cannot be maintained without it. Sulfur is vital to the
creation and regeneration of the body’s tissues.
It must be present for collagen to be produced, and is a major component
in the formation of cartilage and connective tissues. Symptoms associated with
sulfur deficiencies include a poorly functioning immune system, gastrointestinal
problems, allergies, arthritis, nail, hair, and skin problems. If the body is
not receiving enough sulfur it produces weak, dysfunctional cells. Our
highly-processed modern diet, air, soil, and water pollution, over farming and
deforestation have made adequate nutritional sulfur unavailable to most people
through food alone. Supplementation
with
MSM is a safe way to insure sufficient sulfur intake.
MSM
is virtually
nontoxic (about the same as normal water) and poses none of the risks associated
with other supplemental sources of sulfur.
The body uses amino acids and particularly Vitamin C with bioflavonoids
to metabolize
MSM to sulfur; therefore adequate Vitamin C intake is
also important.
