MSM - The Importance of Sulfur for Optimal Health

You may not have heard of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) before, but it's actually a sulfur-bearing compound that's naturally present in very small amounts in many everyday foods. Sulfur is found in all body cells and is essential for life, and MSM plays an important role in the body's sulfur cycle. This cycle helps to create the chemical links needed to form and maintain different types of structural tissues in the human body, including connective tissues like articular cartilage and skin.*

While MSM is present in many everyday foods, the content of this compound can be greatly depleted during food processing and cooking. As a result, many people don't get enough MSM from diet alone and may benefit from supplementation. Let's take a closer look at the benefits of MSM and how this important compound can help support optimal health.

The Benefits of MSM

MSM is a sulfur-containing compound that's found naturally in very small amounts in many everyday foods. While MSM is present in many everyday foods, the content of this compound can be greatly depleted during food processing and cooking. As a result, many people don't get enough MSM from diet alone and may benefit from supplementation. Let's take a closer look at the benefits of MSM and how this important compound can help support optimal health.

MSM supports joint health*: Joints are complex structures that enable us to move our bodies freely. They're made up of different types of tissue, including articular cartilage – a smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. This cartilage protects our joints by absorbing shock and providing a low-friction surface during movement. Unfortunately, as we age, our joints can become worn down, leading to pain and stiffness. supplementing with MSM may help to support joint health by replenishing sulfur levels in the body.* Sulfur is used by the body to produce collagen – a protein that's essential for maintaining healthy connective tissues, including articular cartilage.* Furthermore, MSM has been shown to help reduce inflammation – a key factor in joint pain.*

Supportive effect on healthy skin*, hair*, and nails*: The proteins that make up our skin, hair, and nails all contain sulfur.* Therefore, it's not surprising that sulfur has long been used topically for things like acne vulgaris, dandruff, psoriasis, and other skin conditions. Studies show that applying formulations containing MSM topically may help to improve the appearance of skin by reducing inflammation*, swelling*, redness*, itchiness*, dryness*, flakiness*, scaling*, roughness*, and acne*. Furthermore, one study showed that taking an oral supplement containing MSM helped to improve the strength* and elasticity* of both hair and nails.*

Overall, MSM is an important sulfur-containing compound that plays a vital role in supporting optimal health.* It does this by supporting joint health*, having a supportive effect on healthy skin *, hair *, and nails *, as well as reducing inflammation*. If you think you might not be getting enough MSM from your diet alone, consider adding an oral supplement to your daily routine. Doing so may help you experience some of these amazing benefits for yourself!*
