MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) 600mg 200's
MSM (Methyl-sulfonyl-methane) is an odourless, naturally occurring organicsulphur. Sulphur is the fourth most abundant mineral in all living things and isvital to the creation and regeneration of tissue. MSM is found in, and used by,every cell in the human body and is indispensable to good health. It isnecessary for the synthesis of collagen, immunoglobulin and enzymes. It is asource of sulphur for the amino acids cysteine and methionine. As a source ofsulphur, it is beneficial for healthy hair, skin (especially in the treatment ofacne) and nails. Using Vitamin C together with MSM will further boost collagenin joints.
This product is mostly used for osteoarthritis. Research has indicated thatMSM may restrict the degeneration of joints in animals with osteoarthritis.One of the most significant uses of MSM as a supplement is its demonstratedability to relieve pain and inflammation. When rigid fibrous tissue cells swelland become inflamed, pressure and pain result. Since MSM can restore flexibilityand permeability of cell walls, fluids can pass through the tissues more easily.This helps equalize pressure and reduces or eliminates the cause of pain.Harmful substances such as lactic acid and toxins are allowed to flow out, whilenutrients are permitted to flow in. This prevents the pressure from building upin cells that causes inflammation.
MSM is being researched as a help for those who suffer from allergicrhinitis. It appears that it reduces the release of nitric acid andprostaglandin E2 by alleviating the secretion of inducible nitric oxide synthaseand cyclooxygenase-2.
