About MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)
MSM is a naturally-occuring compound, souce of organic sulfur found naturally in the human body. MSM and the related compounds provide nearly 85 percent of the sulfur found in all living organisms. Sulfur comprises approximately 0.25 percent of body weight and is present in significant amounts in nerve tissue, muscle tissue, skin, hair and bones.
MSM is a bioavailable form of sulfur, which is necessary for the proper function of the body's skin, hair, nails, connective tissue, amino acid production, immune system, and healthy joints. Sulfur is considered a macronutrient and must be consumed each day for healthy function and growth of the body. MSM is found in fresh fruit, vegetables, seafood and meats. MSM levels decline with age.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is the major metabolite of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), is 34% elemental sulfur, a compound which is crucial in maintaining healthy tissues. MSM provides sulfur for many important functions in the human body. While sulfer supports many functions, it is well known for maintaining connective tissue health. Sulfur also supports tissue containing significant amounts of collagen and keratin, including hair, skin, and nails. Sulfur is essential in methionine, cystene, and serum protein metabolism.
Scientific Studies
Osteoarthritis
A double-blind placebo-controlled unpublished trial of MSM treatment for osteoarthritis yielded positive results.1 Sixteen people with x-ray evidence of osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to either 2,250 mg of MSM daily or placebo. Based on the participants' own assessments of their pain levels, those taking MSM experienced an 82% improvement by the end of 6 weeks, compared to an 18% improvement for those taking placebo.
