Joint Health - sulphur is important in the formation of collagen and glucosamine, and therefore in the maintenance of healthy bones, joint, ligaments and tendons. Sulphur helps nutrients and fluids to flow through cells by increasing permeability, which also aids in the removal of toxins leading to a reduction in pain and inflammation. Glucosamine is also important in the normal function of joints.

Allergy - a direct relationship between the amount of MSM present in the body and resistance to allergens has been established. In many people, this has led to a substantial or even a complete relief of symptoms.

Hair, Skin and Nail Health - sulphur is required for the production of keratin and collagen, important constituents of hair, skin and nails, and is therefore important in the maintenance and repair of these components.

Blood Sugar Regulation - sulphur is required to produce insulin. MSM also makes cells more permeable, allowing them to absorb blood sugar.

Antiparasitic Action - MSM has been shown to have antiparasitic action against many common parasites, including intestinal worms.

Digestive System - MSM promotes digestion and the absorption of nutrients enabling us to utilise the food we eat.

Eye Health - many eye conditions have been helped by MSM in drop form, and also by supplementation because it soothes and softens the membranes.

Other - discoveries about the benefits of MSM continue to be made, including stress relief, mental alertness, lung health, oral health, relief from insect bites, and even helping with snoring.

Properties

MSM is a rich naturally occurring source of sulphur, which is required for the structure and function of 150 compounds within the body, including tissues, enzymes, hormones, antibodies and antioxidants. The properties of sulphur are obviously too numerous to list, but it is present in the following compounds:-

Glutathione - an antioxidant responsible for neutralising free radicals, and also for the removal of toxic substances from the liver.

Lipoic Acid - a potent antioxidant and vitamin-like substance that enhances the antioxidant vitamins C and E as well as glutathione. It also plays an important role in energy production, glucose balance and the detoxifying functions of the liver.

Coenzyme A - plays an important role in the oxidation and synthesis of fatty acids and the synthesis of cholesterol and therefore vitamin D, bile and the steroid hormones. It is also important in making red blood cells and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Fibrinogen - a very important clotting agent found in blood.
