The Benefits of MSM

By Clifford H Woods

Methyl Sulfonyl Methane is generally known by its abbreviation that is MSM. It is a naturally occurring compound of sulfur that is present in human bodies. It is an important nutrient present in our body and performs a range of important and critical functions. The best thing about the compound is that it is produced naturally in the sulfur cycle.

The Methyl Sulfonyl Methane present in the atmosphere comes down to earth during rainfall and vegetables, grains and fruits that grow on that piece of land get rich in it. Meat, poultry, eggs, fish and other protein containing nutrients contain it as well.

The MSM that occurs naturally in protein rich foods is lost in part due to the abundance of processed foods and over cooking. This is the reason, taking supplements of it ensures that the body has enough of the nutrient. The compound is found in almost every cell and the supplement strengthens almost every cell in our body. It also helps in treating problems like asthma, arthritis, inflammation, cramps and digestive problems.

Some of the major benefits of

MSM are discussed below

Improving Joint Flexibility: MSM greatly helps in increasing joint flexibility and is an important component in the treatment of arthritis and pains in the body. The level of sulfur in cartilages affected by arthritis is usually too low and the supplement increases this level, thus playing a great role in enhancing flexibility and elasticity of joints. The supplement also makes sure that cartilage degeneration does not happen in humans.

Detoxification of Cells: The sulfur present in the compound makes each cell more permeable as the cell walls are strengthened. This makes sure that the cell is able to flush toxins and other foreign particles from inside the cell. Allergens and waste products thus, cannot become a problem. Moreover, the chemical breaks up calcium phosphate that is the chemical responsible for degeneration of cells and tissues.

Reduces Aging Effects on Skin: MSM also strengthens collagen and collagen is essential for the health of cells and tissues of all kinds. This is the reason that taking supplements reduces sagging of skin and other aging impacts on skin. Some people use lotions and creams based on it, but the real benefits of it are only experienced if it is allowed to do the work from the inside.

Improving Hair and Nails: Many people face the problem of hair falling out and general hair loss. Collagen strengthened by the compound not only helps in improving joint tissue flexibility, it also helps in making hairs and nails stronger. Using it for just a few days can see the benefits of MSM on appearance.

The compound is easily available in the form of over the counter supplements and can be bought from most any health food store. The research on the compound is still being carried out and most of the benefits mentioned above have been observed in researches.

The best ways to start the supplement is in smaller quantities and then gradually increase until the inflammation and pains go away as there is no known toxic level of this substance. The best thing about MSM is that it does not contain any toxic material, which can cause harm to our body.
