MSM
(methyl-sulfonyl-methane), an organic source of sulfur, is a direct
metabolite of DMSO
(di-methylsulfoxide). Sulfur is structurally
and functionally important in more than 150 compounds in the body
including enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and free radical
scavengers. Sulfur containing compounds such as n-acetylcysteine
and reduced-glutathione are powerful antioxidants and have
shown to reduce many inflammatory conditions (1).* Sulfur is necessary for the production of the disulfide bonds that are
responsible for the rigidity and strength of connective tissue.
Sulfur is also a vital component of two B vitamins, thiamin and
biotin and the amino acids cysteine, cystine, taurine and methionine.
Some studies suggest that systemic concentration of MSM drops with
increasing age and that supplementing with MSM will benefit
conditions such as asthma, allergies, digestive disturbances and
degenerative joint disorders.
Because sulfur is necessary for the
formation of connective tissue, MSM has been widely studied for its
use in arthritis and other complications of joint swelling. The
results of several studies showed that when supplementing with MSM,
joint degeneration and inflammation was significantly decreased
(2,3,4).*

Sulfur plays
a major role in allergies and many forms of lung dysfunction. Research studies
have shown MSM has the ability to enhance lung function and control diverse
allergy responses to pollen and foods (3,4).* Clinical
testing suggests MSM has activity against a variety of parasites such as giardia,
trichomonads and round worms. MSM may affect these infections by competing for
binding or receptor sites at the mucus membrane surface
(4).* Supplementing with MSM has shown to relieve symptoms of chronic
constipation, ulcerative colitis, intestinal swelling and other digestive
limitations (5).*
