MSM provides sulfur which is critical in the formation of collagen and glucosamine which are vital components for healthy bones, joints, ligaments and tendons.
What Is MSM?
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a natural and efficient source of organic sulfur, which is necessary for collagen formation, and is required by many of the body's structural molecules. The nutritional benefits of MSM were discovered by Robert J. Herschler, a chemical researcher, in the early 1980s.
Health Benefits of MSM
MSM has proven itself to be essential to joint health and function, and for all types of connective tissue, in general.
One of MSM's major areas of research is that of osteoarthritis (OA). In a double-blind trial published in the International Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine, it was shown that for people with osteoarthritis, 2,250 mg per day of MSM reduced pain after 6 weeks. Two nutrients shown to be effective for bone and joint health, glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, are also frequently blended with MSM, as it is a natural and efficient source of the sulfur that is used by many of the body's structural molecules, including joint cartilage. Many medical studies have found chondroitin and glucosamine MSM products to be useful for promoting healthy joint function.
Allergy and asthma sufferers may find an effective, natural alternative in MSM. For asthma patients, MSM may help regulate the fluid covering the lungs' airway surfaces, and may prevent an inflammatory response. While MSM may not be a cure, it can enable an asthmatic person to reduce their required medication dosage. One multi-centered, open-label trial published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine focused on the role of MSM in the treatment of Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (SAR), or "hay fever," which is estimated to affect more than 23 million Americans. The results showed that 2,600 mg/day of MSM for 30 days was effective in reducing SAR symptoms, with few MSM side effects shown. Adequate MSM levels make your cells more permeable, which enables your body to flush out undesirable foreign particles and absorb nutrients.
One of the main benefits of organic sulfur is skin health. MSM is a natural and efficient source of organic sulfur, which is found in keratin, the tough substance composing skin, hair and nails, and shown to nourish skin cells and to help repair damaged skin tissue. MSM may also hold benefits for skin problems such as psoriasis. It may also be effective for preventing skin aging, as it supplies the raw materials necessary for healthy collagen production. As a result, MSM improves general skin health, making it look younger, and smoother and softer.
