Question:
What is MSM and what is it good for?
Answer:
MSM stands for methyl-sulfonyl-methane. It is also referred to as "physiological sulfur." What this latter term implies is that MSM provides the human body with the essential mineral sulfur. This designation is deserved as MSM is a form of sulfur found in the tissues and fluids not only in humans by all plants and animals. MSM is the major form of sulfur in the human body. Sulfur is an important element for all cells and body tissues. It is especially important nutrient for joint tissue where it functions in the stabilization of the connective tissue matrix of cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. As far back as the 1930s, researchers demonstrated that individuals with arthritis are commonly deficient in this essential nutrient. Restoring sulfur levels brought about significant benefit to these patients. Sulfur is also important to proper liver function, detoxification reactions, and for the action of insulin.
MSM provides significant advantages over other forms of sulfur in that it is completely safe. When people say they are allergic to sulfur, what they really mean is that they are allergic to the so-called sulfa drugs or sulfite-containing food additives. It is impossible to be allergic to sulfur as sulfur is an essential mineral. The standard dosage of MSM is 250 to 750 mg per day.
