What is MSM
MSM (methylsulfonymethane) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound and a derivative of DSMO, composed of 34% bio-available sulfur. It supports the integrity of healthy mucous membranes, and is necessary for the production of collagen and keratin, the primary proteins in hair, skin, and nails. MSM also plays an essential role in the formation of bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons.
MSM is primarily used for its natural and remarkable anti-inflammatory properties, which are especially useful in alleviating pain, joint inflammation, muscle spasms, allergies, and gastrointestinal inflammation. Its maintenance of healthy cell membranes helps prevent allergies and support normal lung function.
Although it is prevalent in fruits and vegetables, MSM is destroyed by heat and processing, and the amount of MSM found in cells throughout the body decreases significantly as we age.
