MSM Information

MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur found in the fluid and tissues of all living organisms. It is present in a variety of foods, including most fresh raw fruit and vegetables, milk, meat, seafood and some grains. However, MSM is easily lost during moderate food processing. It is unlikely that sufficient MSM is ingested into the system to contribute to the bodies nutritional sulfur requirement.

How it works

MSM is an important cell builder and binder of soft tissues in the body - the thread which gives strength and texture to the fabric. Sulfur has a vital relationship to protein, and is found in essential amino acids such as methionine, cystine and cyseine. It is necessary for collagen synthesis - a vital component in both the skin and the bones, where it knits the minerals together and gives flexibility to them.

Perhaps its most important role in health is in carbohydrate metabolism. Sulfur is an important component of insulin, the protein hormone secreted by the pancreas. Low levels of sulfur in the diet can result in low insulin production. It is possible that a diet rich in sulfur could increase the body's ability to produce insulin to a point where insulin injections could be reduced.
