What is MSM?
(methylsulfonylmethane), is an
organic form of sulphur readily absorbed
and utilized by our bodies. MSM is
composed of 34% bio-available sulphur,
making it the richest source of organic
sulphur available. MSM is a safe,
natural, supplement, which assists the
body in maintaining adequate sulphur
stores. MSM may support the body in
regulating insulin production, improving
skin smoothness and elasticity,
regulating environmental and allergic
sensitivities, enhancing bowel function
and liver detoxification, and enhancing
respiratory function.
Our bodies require the element sulphur
for many of its functions. Sulphur is a
component of the proteins necessary for
the formation of skin, hair, nails and
muscle. Sulphur is also a component of
bones, teeth and collagen (connective
tissue). Sulphur is integral in the
formation of bile acids by the liver and
insulin by the pancreas. It is the
fourth most plentiful mineral in the
body and it essential for life.
History
of MSM
Doctors Jacob and Herschler at the
Oregon Health and Sciences University in
Portland Oregon, discovered MSM in the
early 1980s. MSM comes from the
evaporation of the waters of the Oceans,
into the rain clouds, and then is
present in the rain itself. If you water
your garden with rainwater, then MSM
will be present in the produce of your
garden. If you water your garden with
water from only your faucet, then no MSM
will be present in your produce.
MSM should be present in all the produce
we consume, however it is easily
destroyed by any heat, or processing of
foods or water treatment plants.
Therefore finding MSM in our readily
available foods is getting harder to do.
The half-life of MSM is only 12 hours
when consumed within the body. Therefore
supplementation with MSM should be
repeated both morning and again in the
evening.
MSM is considered very safe. Toxicity is
extremely rare. MSM is generally
non-allergenic.
MSM
Applications
Supported by Research and multiple
patents, MSM in sufficient levels as a
Dietary Supplement, can help and improve
the following conditions: Allergic
responses, Gastrointestinal Disorders,
Reduces effects of stress, Improves
circulation and Enhances cell vitality,
Helps regulate insulin production,
Improves skin smoothness and elasticity,
Reduces pain associated with systemic
inflammatory disorders, including
arthritis, night leg cramps and
migraines. MSM has also shown beneficial
in reducing sluggish memory, and
symptoms of asthma and emphysema,
reducing post athletic activity fatigue
and improved joint flexibility.
The addition of the following
synergistic ingredients greatly improves
the effectiveness of MSM in many of the
above conditions: Vitamin C, Amylase,
Cellulase, Lipase, Sucrase, Maltase,
Lactase, Bromelain and Amyloglucosidase.
The addition of Glucosamine HCL greatly
improves the effectiveness of MSM for
Osteoarthritis.
MSM
serves two very important processes
within the body.
Some of the excess MSM you consume will
flush out of your body in about 12
hours, taking with it many toxins. It is
involved in the cellular makeup of the
cells walls of any of the new cells your
body creates. Our bodies are constantly
making new cells to replace old cells.
As new cells are created, the MSM is
incorporated into the polypeptide bonds
that make up the cells walls. The result
is the creation of cell walls that are
more permeable to nutrients. It is like
comparing backpack nylon material to
cheesecloth. Cells walls without MSM
will be very impermeable to nutrients
while cells walls with adequate MSM will
be very permeable to nutrients.
Skin: The sulphur within MSM is responsible
for the flexibility and elasticity of
skin. When sufficient MSM is present,
the skin is softer, smoother and more
flexible. Tests conducted among
laboratory animals indicated that wound
healing occurred faster with a group
receiving MSM plus vitamin C. Based on
this information, MSM has been used to
enhance skin wellness, improve scar
formation and to assist in skin health
in teens prone to acne.
Allergy: There is considerable
anecdotal evidence that MSM promotes
reduction in allergic symptoms in
individuals with environmental allergies
and sensitivities. Dr. Jacobs, who has
utilized MSM in research at the Oregon
Health Sciences University, reports
improved allergic responses with the use
of MSM.
Liver
detoxification: Sulphur is extremely
important component of Glutathione, the
amino acid integral in phase 2 liver
detoxification enzymes. Adequate levels
of this based-based amino acid are
necessary for the liver to perform its
detoxification role. Supplementation
with MSM may promote improved liver
detoxification.
Joints: General improvement in
overall joint mobility is seen with the
use of MSM. Reports have noted
improvement in pain and inflammation
associated with arthritis and gout. It
is postulated that this is due to based
enhancement of the sodium-potassium
pump, allowing improved fluid flow and
removal of cell toxins with reduction of
pain and inflammation. One study at
Oregon Health Sciences University found
that animals that were given MSM showed
no degeneration of cartilage associated
with rheumatoid arthritis. Studies in
human volunteers with arthritis showed a
60 percent improvement in pain after
taking 2.25 grams per day of MSM for
four weeks. After six weeks, the
improvement rate rose to 82 percent.
Lung: MSM has been purported to
enhance lung function by regulating the
fluid that covers the airway surface of
the lungs (surfactant) and decreasing
inflammation. It has been used to
decrease airway reactivity in
asthmatics. One study showed that MSM
increased lung capacity in a group of
patients with emphysema.
Parasitic infections and
gastrointestinal health: Animal
studies suggest that MSM may help lessen
parasitic, microbial and fungal
infections at levels of 750 to 1500 mg.
daily. MSM probably works by competing
for receptor sites on the mucous
membrane surface thereby blocking
parasite adherence.
Information on MSM
for Horses & Pets
DIRECTIONS:
MSM dissolves most quickly in warm water. Once it
is dissolved you can then mix in more water, or add any
beverage to disguise the taste. One heaped
teaspoon is about 5 grams (5,000mg). We suggest you
start with one teaspoon per day of the bulk, and if you
don't see some dramatic change in the absence of pain
within two days, increase the dosage. Continue
increasing the dosage up to 4 heaped teaspoons per day
(20 grams). Most people should achieve very dramatic
relief from arthritic pain by the time they reach 20
grams.
The proper way to
consume MSM, to avoid that bitter taste is to take a
spoonful of the bulk MSM and place it on the tip of your
tongue. Now quickly consume a large amount liquid. Water
can be used. However juices will mask any small taste,
especially Cranberry Juice, Tomato juice, Orange juice, or any
juice will help hide the taste of the MSM. MSM, when place on the tip
of your tongue is tasteless. It is when it dissolves
that the taste is so very bitter. Consuming MSM in this
manner will allow nearly all of the MSM to dissolve in
your stomach, far on the other side of your taste buds! Disguising the taste?
None of these juices will adversely affect the results
of the MSM
Contra-indications: MSM is considered very
safe. Toxicity is extremely rare. No toxic effects were
shown in humans given up to one gram per kilogram of
body weight (70 Grams or more) per day for 30 days. MSM
is generally non-allergenic.
