MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

What is MSM?

Methylsulfonylmetal or MSM is the oxidized form of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), an organic sulfur compound. This sulfuric compound occurs naturally in some green vegetables, in certain foods, in the meat of many animals, in milk, and even in the human body.

MSM can be produced in the laboratory to create a wide range of dietary supplements, especially joint supplements, being highly effective due to its anti-inflammatory effect. Many of the benefits of an MSM supplement are due to the biologically active breath that is the 4th most abundant mineral in the human body, vital in many body functions.

 

The main benefits of MSM

 

• 1. Treats joint pain

One of the most popular benefits of MSM and the reason why most people use it is its beneficial action in relieving joint inflammation. Studies have shown that MSM improves flexibility and collagen production, while also helping to repair the connective tissues of joints, tendons, and ligaments.
 

• 2. Improves skin appearance

As some studies have shown, certain topical products or supplements with MSM can help to reduce inflammation in the skin that contributes to rosacea. It is also beneficial in improving pigmentation spots, certain allergies or speeding up wound healing.

MSM products are also used for their major contribution to keeping the skin young and beautiful. MSM is a necessary element in the production of collagen, and collagen is the element that keeps our skin young, smooth and hydrated.
 

• 3. Improves digestion

MSM is beneficial in ameliorating the inflammatory responses that occur following an allergic reaction to certain types of food. It can also be beneficial in treating leaky gut because this substance can stop particles from leaving the gut.
 

• 4. Reduces muscle spasms

Studies have shown that MSM can act as a natural pain reliever, helping to treat and prevent muscle pain. The beneficial effects of MSM are especially amplified if the supplement is used alongside other anti-inflammatories.

MSM relieves muscle spasms and pain due to the important role that sulfur plays in the body. It contributes to the repair of fibrous tissues that have been torn during exercise, thus preventing pain and inflammation.

In addition to these main benefits, MSM supplements can also contribute beneficially to the stimulation of hair growth, the reduction of allergic reactions or the easier adaptation of the body to stressful situations.
