Solgar's MSM is a beneficial supplement for maintaining health. Sulfur is one of the most abundant minerals in the human body. Studies have shown that a deficiency in this element can influence the onset of arthritis. Patients with arthritis who were studied had only one-third of the amount of sulfur present in normal individuals in their joints. Taking MSM led to significant improvements in their health status. Not only did it increase their mobility, but it also reduced painful processes. For these reasons, taking MSM can be useful in:
- Arthritis - acting as a good anti-inflammatory, stabilizing and protecting cartilage.
- Pain relief - many people who took MSM experienced a decrease in painful processes. The mode of action is not well studied, but it appears to be related to reducing the inflammatory process.
- Hair, Skin, and Nails - sulfur is essential for the formation of the connecting tissues of hair, skin, and nails. It is incorporated into a protein called keratin. Those who took MSM improved the condition and growth of their skin and cutaneous appendages.
- Connective tissues - As an essential element in connective tissues, MSM is very effective in improving connective tissues not only in the skin, hair, and nails but also in blood vessels, eyes, and joints.
- Antioxidant - One of the body's most powerful antioxidants is glutathione. MSM, as a good source of sulfur, promotes the production of glutathione, thereby increasing the amount of antioxidants in the body.
- Detoxification - the liver is a vital organ in the body's detoxification process. Two of the most important enzymes in the detoxification process require sulfur for their proper functioning. A sulfur deficiency is associated with poor detoxification. In addition to this enzymatic activation, MSM appears to promote the removal of toxins.
- Constipation - studies have indicated a potential application of MSM in constipation. Constipation, in some cases, results from low acetylcholine levels in the brain. Acetylcholine is responsible for controlling intestinal muscles. MSM plays a good role in increasing acetylcholine levels and thus promotes proper intestinal muscle function. Simultaneously increasing water and fiber intake in the diet will also facilitate improved constipation.
- Heavy metal removal - heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury can be extremely toxic to the body and hinder the detoxification process. Sulfur compounds may have the ability to bind to heavy metals and facilitate their excretion from the body. This process is called chelation.
- Sports injuries - evidence suggests that the use of MSM may be useful in promoting the recovery of sports injuries. Its action at this level appears to be linked to increased blood circulation in the affected area, thereby promoting better tissue recovery. In addition to this action, an anti-inflammatory action and a decrease in pain have also been reported.
- Allergies - Some relief actions in allergies have been reported in people taking MSM. Research suggests that this action may be associated with the detoxifying action of sulfur. The known process of sulfur conjugation, which occurs in the liver, is very important in reducing sensitivity to allergens such as pollen, dust, and food. In a study of allergic individuals, about 85% of these individuals had deficient sulfur conjugation. Studies have suggested that sulfur can bind to the mucous surfaces of the nose, throat, and digestive tissues, preventing possible allergen attacks.
The administration of a sulfur supplement has been considered by nutrition experts as a good adjunct in maintaining health.
