M.S.M. 1000mg 90 caps - SP-01-15 What is MSM (Methyl Su- lfonyl Methane)? MSM is a naturally occurring compound,- 34% sulfur by weight. Sulfur is the third most abundan- t mineral in the body and it’s essential role in human - nutrition has been generally overlooked. Rich dietary s- ources of sulfur include raw cabbage, onions, asparagus- , garlic, eggs, and red peppers. However, due to chemic- al intensive farming methods, our soil and therefore ou- r produce is becoming depleted of sulfur and other mine- rals. Cooked food offers a poor source as sulfur is des- troyed during cooking. MSM is a non-allergenic, odourle- ss, white, crystalline powder. It should not be confuse- d with the inorganic compounds of sulfa, sulfite, sulfa- te and sulfide. There is evidence that supplemental MSM- can have a number of exciting health enhancing benefit- s. Dr Stanley Jacob and Robert Herschler of the Oregon - Health Sciences University have researched MSM extensiv- ely. Its main therapeutic significance has been theoriz- ed and experiments with supplemental MSM have shown pro- mising results. Sulfur is the main component of MSM so - the direction of much of this research was influenced b- y knowledge of sulfur’s importance in the body. The Fun- ctions of Sulfur in the Body Include: 1) Cell Membrane - Permeability Sulfur appears to help keep the cell membr- ane permeable by strengthening the sodium-potassium pum- p that controls fluid exchanges in and out of cells. 2)- Glucose Metabolism for Energy Sulfur is an important c- onstituent of insulin which controls the utilization of- glucose for energy. Sulfur is also important for the m- etabolism of carbohydrates. 3) Strengthening and Repair- of Body Tissue Sulfur is a large component of the prot- eins in body tissues. It forms the disulfide bonds in t- he proteins that keep them elastic and assist with heal- ing and regeneration. 4) Building Cartilage Sulfur is r- equired to build mucopolysaccharides which are needed f- or the production of chondroitin sulfate and other nutr- ients essential for healthy cartilage. MSM and Allergie- s: According to Earl Mindell in his book, The MSM Mirac- le, “a direct correlation between concentration of MSM - and resistance to allergens has been established.” Test- subjects suffering from chronic and severe environment- al allergies, showed moderate to complete relief from s- ymptoms, after continued use of MSM. MSM, Pain and Infl- ammation: MSM’s ability to enhance the fluidity of the - cells may help reduce pressure and toxin build up at th- e site of inflammation, thereby reducing pain. MSM and - Sore Muscles: Lactic acid is created in the body during- exercise and is associated with post-exertion soreness- and muscle fatigue. Sulfur helps to flush out the lact- ic acid as it is produced, reducing the accumulation in- the muscle cells that cause soreness. MSM and the Skin- , Hair and Nails: Sulfur is a main component of keratin- and collagen (proteins found in skin, hair and nails).- Sulfur adds flexibility to these proteins and helps to- prevent cross-linking of collagen which contributes to- wrinkles and scarring. By improving the flow of fluids- in and out of the cells, MSM can improve the skin’s ab- ility to eliminate toxins. MSM and Joint Health: Studie- s show that sulfur levels in arthritic cartilage are tw- o thirds lower than in healthy cartilage. How Safe is i- t? MSM is a safe and natural substance. It is water sol- uble, exhibits low toxicity, even at very high doses an- d does not cause allergic reactions or side effects. Su- ggested Use: According to researchers Dr. Stanley Jacob- and Dr. Robert Herschler, improvements in Health are s- een in the range of 250 mg to 750 mg per day. Earl Mind- ell, author of The MSM Miracle suggests taking 6000 mg - of MSM daily for three weeks and then reducing to 3000 - mg daily. Increased water intake enhances the effective- ness of MSM.
