Description
MSM (methysulfonylmethane) is a completely natural, nontoxic pain reliever with other health promoting properties. It is naturally occurring in food (though processing destroys most MSM in food), and is even a natural component of our plasma. It can be used for a variety of conditions and complaints, from supporting healthy skin to relieving heartburn, allergies, arthritis and pain conditions like fibromyalgia.
What makes MSM different from NSAID medications?
NSAIDs are responsible for over 20,000 deaths and 100,000 hospitalizations in the US each year. Unlike NSAIDs, MSM is absolutely safe, even in large doses. Also unlike other pain relievers, MSM is a harmless natural substance that can be used with no problem along with a variety of pain medicines. To date, there has been no evidence that MSM interacts or interferes with any medications.
While the amount of MSM naturally present in foods is minimal, handling, processing, and cooking further deplete sulfur levels, leading to suboptimal intakes for many individuals. Fortunately, supplemental MSM can bridge this gap and provide essential sulfur for the human body’s structure and function.
How does it work? MSM, through its sulfur content, plays a vital role in promoting joint health. It is a key component in the production of collagen, which forms the building blocks of cartilage, skin, and connective tissue. Additionally, sulfur contributes to the detoxification process by modifying certain chemicals, making them water soluble for elimination through the kidneys. Furthermore, sulfur is involved in the creation of essential components that help remove toxic metals from the body and safeguard cellular health.
