MSM is a dietary supplement made from methylsulfonylmethane, a purified form of organic sulfur that is naturally present in all living organisms.
After calcium and phosphorus, sulfur is the third naturally occurring mineral in our organism.
Nails and hair are mainly made of an extremely strong, high-sulfur protein called keratin.
Cartilage and connective tissue also contain proteins with sulphur bonds.
Inorganic sulfur is hardly absorbable, while organic sulfur, which is biologically active, is extremely important for the health of every living organism.
Taking MSM has potentially beneficial effects on the following pathologies: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, lumbago, headaches, migraines, muscle pain, bursitis, sclerosis, scars after burns and operations, etc.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) counteracts inflammatory processes and in particular the activity of cortisol, a natural anti-inflammatory hormone produced by the body.
MSM is also an adjuvant of the natural defense mechanisms and regulates the formation of antibodies and immune complexes during metabolism.
MSM enhances the effects of well-known antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C and E, coenzyme Q10, selenium, etc.
Sulfur is also necessary for the formation of glutathione, which is considered the most powerful antioxidant of all nutrients.
Finally, MSM has a cell-detoxifying effect.
