Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring compound found in plants, animals, and humans. It is a source of organic sulfur, which is an essential element in the body necessary for various physiological processes.  MSM  supports the body’s natural processes related to collagen formation, glucosamine production, and immune system function.

   Supplemental Benefits of MSM:

Joint Health: By promoting the synthesis of collagen and supporting the production of glucosamine, MSM can contribute to maintaining healthy joints, reducing inflammation, and improving joint flexibility and mobility.

Skin and Connective Tissues: Collagen synthesis supported by MSM can enhance skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and promote wound healing. This also extends to maintaining the health of blood vessels, tendons, and ligaments.

Immune Function: Sulfur’s role in immune function through the production of immunoglobulins highlights MSM’s potential to support the body’s defense against infections and other immune-related challenges.

Allergies: There is some evidence suggesting that MSM may modulate immune responses and potentially alleviate allergy symptoms. It’s hypothesized to reduce histamine levels and improve immune function.

Antioxidant Effects: MSM has antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. This antioxidant activity may contribute to its anti-inflammatory effects and overall health benefits.

Other health benefits of MSM:

Can Speed Recovery After Exercise by Reducing Muscle Damage.

MSM also appears to prevent the spread of cancer cells, also known as metastasis.

Promoting Hair Growth: Healthy hair growth is essential for maintaining softness. Some studies suggest that MSM might support hair growth by lengthening the growth phase (anagen) of the hair cycle.

MSM can be used topically for various skin conditions, including rosacea, acne, and sunburn.

Taking MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) together with vitamin C can enhance the benefits of MSM.

    Forms and dosage:

MSM is available in various forms, including capsules, tablets, powders, and creams.

Pure MSM powder is typically clear when dissolved in water. MSM is highly soluble in water, and when added to water, it dissolves readily without leaving any noticeable residue or color. This clear solution makes it convenient to mix MSM powder into water or other beverages for consumption.

Daily dose: 1000 – 6000 mg
