  MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) Powder

Product description:

Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) is a nutritional form of sulfur. It is a pure, natural, stable. white odourless crystalline powder. MSM acts as a transport molecule for elemental sulfur, which is required for the amino acids; methionine and cysteine. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Proteins are required for growth and repair and are involved in; the formation of healthy connective tissues, joint function, proper enzyme activity and hormone balance, along with the proper function of the immune system. MSM has very important roles in the body because of its close relationship with proteins.

Where is it found?
Sulfur is the fourth most plentiful mineral in the body and is found in every cell of every animal and plant. Approximately half total body sulfur is concentrated in the muscles, skin and bones. Sulfur is found in many foods being most abundant in eggs, but can also be found in significant quantities in grains, legumes and animal proteins, however the sulfur found in these foods is easily destroyed through processing and cooking.

What is it used for?

2. MSM aids in digestion by aiding bile production, improves many lung conditions and relieves some allergies.

3. MSM is an important component in insulin production. Insulin is a protein hormone that has metabolic and growth promoting effects; stimulating glucose and amino acid uptake and stimulates protein, fat and glycogen synthesis. insulin production is of particular importance for diabetics.

8. MSM is a free radical scavenger, protecting the body from damage and risk of disease and signs of ageing. The menthyl sulfonyl group supplied by MSM has antioxidant benefits that can disrupt the damaging chain reaction of lipid per oxidation in cell membranes.
