We take MSM every morning in a glass of water with lemon juice first thing. In our opinion it is the ultimate product for general wellbeing and joint issues.
This nonmetallic sulphur compound is found widely throughout the environment - in plants, animals and throughout the human body.
Methylsulfonylmethane yields the most bioavailable and recognisable form of sulphur and conveys all the health benefits that sulphur does.
Good dietary sources of methylsulfonylmethane include raw fruit and vegetables, milk, seafood and meat. It is, however, quite susceptible to degradation and depletion when foods are cooked and through food processing. It is quite common that the dietary intake of MSM is quite low.
Clinical uses
Helps in the formation of proteins and amino acids (cystine, cysteine, methionine and taurine), aids in the manufacture of bile and liver detoxification, maintains healthy skin, nails and hair, assists tissue oxygenation, supports collagen, insulin creation and maintenance of pH.
When ingested, MSM is incorporated into the sulphur amino acids and becomes a component of glutathione (anti-oxidant), chondroitin, keratin and glucosamine sulphate (joint, cartilage, skin, bone integrity), insulin (carbohydrate metabolism and energy production), IgG (immune system defense) and metallothionen (chelates and removes cadmium and mercury). It also facilitates the transport of selenium and zinc, while inhibiting numerous catabolic enzymes.
Therapeutically, MSM has been found useful in arthritis, anti-aging, cystitis, breast and colon cancer and tumour growth, auto-immune lympho- proliferative disease and in the prevention/treatment of parasitic infestation.
