MSM - Methylsulfonylmethane
Additive-Free Dietary Supplement - Click here for more information on MSM
Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane, commonly called MSM, is naturally occurring nutritional sulfur. Sulfur is found in the tissues of all plants and animals and is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body making up about .25 percent of the body’s weight. It is stored in virtually every cell of the body with the highest concentrations in the skin, hair, nails and joints.
MSM is a protein-modifying sulfur, which naturally occurs in most plants. It is one of nature’s richest sources of sulfur. MSM should not be confused with sulfa-based drugs, sulfates, or sulfites, which are synthetic and have been known to cause allergic reactions. DMSO2 is another name for MSM. It is the major metabolite of DMSO or dimethyl sulfoxide, a naturally occurring sulfur compound known for its potent pain-reduction and anti-inflammatory properties. Anyone who has used DMSO knows it has an extreme odor, which results in a garlicky smell when taken orally or applied externally. MSM does not produce this odor and is greatly preferred over DMSO.
MSM is vital to the production of energy and combines with some toxic materials allowing them to pass out of the body with the urine. It is an ingredient of protein and is necessary for collagen synthesis. Collagen is the most common protein in the body and the main component of skin and bones. It is needed for the growth and repair of cells, gums, blood vessels, bones and teeth. Vitamin C, is an important regulator of collagen synthesis, and works synergistically with MSM.
Although sulfur is found in most plants and animals, it is difficult to obtain sufficient amounts without supplementation. Food sources of sulfur include: eggs, broccoli, beans, lean beef, poultry, soybeans, cabbage, clams, fish, milk, kale, Brussels sprouts, garlic, onion, and whole wheat. However, much of the topsoil our food is grown in has become deficient in minerals due to over-farming, air and water pollution, deforestation and artificial irrigation practices. Cooking and processing foods then displaces most of the minerals that are available. In addition, as we get older our body’s sulfur supply becomes depleted making supplementation even more important. MSM is a safe way to supplement the body with the sulfur it needs. It is rated as one of the least toxic substances in biology, having a toxicity rating similar to that of normal water.
When the body is not receiving adequate MSM (sulfur), a variety of things begin to happen. The body may not be able to repair or replace damaged tissues quickly enough and compensates by producing abnormal cells that may lead to illness. An inadequate sulfur level causes a heightened sensitivity to pain because sulfur balances the build up of pressure in the cells. The body’s healthy acid/alkaline balance may also be disrupted, preventing the body from turning food into energy and making it susceptible to disease. Symptoms of sulfur deficiency may include but are not limited to: allergic symptoms, pain, inflammation, slow wound healing, brittle hair and nails, poor circulation, skin problems, and free radical damage.
The amount of MSM a person should take varies based on the how much sulfur is already present in the body, how much is taken in through the diet, the body’s ability to process the mineral, and the severity of symptoms if it is being taken for a specific condition. An excellent book entitled The Miracle of MSM the Natural Solution for Pain, written by Dr. Stanley Jacob MD, and Dr Ronald Lawrence, MD discusses dosages and treatment for a variety of aliments, as well as some background information on the use of MSM as a supplement. (This book is available at World Image Naturals™ for a low price.)
MSM is also beneficial for pets. DMSO has long been used by racehorse owners for its anti-inflammatory properties and to help prevent the buildup of lactic acid in muscles. Dogs, cats and even guinea pigs acquire strong nails and glossy coats as a result of MSM supplementation, as well as experiencing relief from sulfur deficiency ailments. One to three grams per day may be added to the pet’s food.
Although best results come from ingesting MSM, some symptoms may be relieved further by topical application in addition to internal consumption. MSM may be applied externally by mixing it with a small amount of water, adding it Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, or any good quality body lotion - then gently applying it to the problem area as needed (wiping away excess after use).
