A NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT
MSM relieves stress, detoxifies the body and increases blood circulation. MSM is necessary for collagen synthesis: skin, hair and nails (bones, muscles and organs). It softens the tissue, relieves stress, asthma, arthritis, inflammation, constipation, candida, detoxifies the body and increases blood circulation, reduces muscle cramps and back pain, permits muscles to heal, increases energy, mental calmness and improves the ability to concentrate.

A full fitness and beauty regime includes pampering your body daily with internal and external MSM.

ORGANIC SULFUR

MSM is a Nutritional Organic Sulfur that keeps skin, hair, and nails healthy and it has been referred to as Nature's "Beauty Mineral". Methylsulfonylmethane is a nutrient, a normal metabolite, or by product of dimethlsulfoxide, better known as DMSO.

MSM scavenges free radicals, relieves allergies to foods and pollens and helps the liver produce choline, controls acidity in stomach and ulcers, coats the intestinal tract so parasites lose the ability to hang on, helps with hypersensitivity to drugs, increases the body's ability to produce insulin and is important for carbohydrate metabolism, and speeds wound healing. It is estimated that the human body uses up to about 1/8 tsp of MSM each day. It needs to be replaced on a regular basis. Good health practices involve replacing essential substances that our bodies naturally use up or lose through illness or abuse. For general use, MSM should be taken internally as a food supplement.
Sulfur is necessary for collagen synthesis. Collagen is an insoluble fibrous protein found in vertebrates (having a backbone, or spinal column) as the dominant component of connective tissue fibrils and bones. Sulfur operates as synthesizer and activator with the B Vitamins, Thiamin, Vitamin C, Biotin and Pantothenic Acid, which are needed for metabolism and healthy nerves.

It has been suggested by one of the world's most prominent atmospheric chemists that MSM and its related compounds,DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), and DMS (dimethylsulfide) provide the source for 85% of the sulfur found in all living organisms. The cycle of these naturally occurring sulfur compounds begins where microscopic plants and animals called plankton release sulfur compounds called dimethylsulfonium salts. These salts are transformed in the ocean water into the very volatile compound dimethylsulfoxide (DMS) which escapes from the ocean water as a gas and rises up into the upper atmosphere. Here, in the presence of ozone and high-energy ultraviolet light, the DMS is converted into its cousins DMSO and MSM.

Unlike the DMS, both DMSO and MSM are very soluble in water, and they return to the surface of the earth in the rain. Plants take up the two compounds very rapidly in their root systems, concentrating them up to one hundred fold. MSM itself and the sulfur it contains are incorporated into the plant structure. Through the processes of plant metabolism the MSM, along with the other sulfur compounds it has spawned, are ultimately mineralized and transported back into the sea, and sulfur cycle begins again.

Subjects with chronic to sever allergies to environmental materials such as house dust, pollen, wool animal hair, feathers, and other diverse allergens report substantial to complete relief of their allergy symptoms (usually 3-4 days). Allergy symptoms ranged from respiratory congestion to inflammation, itching, mucoid discharges, and general discomfort.


THE MSM DISCOVERY

MSM is a nutrient and a normal metabolite, or byproduct of dimethlsulfoxide, better known as DMSO. Chemically, MSM is DMSO with one added, stabilizing atom of oxygen onto the sulfur, i.e., CH3 SO2 CH3. Being ubiquitous to the diet of all vertebrates, MSM (and precursors) derive from vegetables, fruit, fish and meat. Any processing of a foodstuff, even the drying of, may drive off a portion of the fugitive MSM. Physically, MSM is an odorless, white crystalline, water soluble molecule. Interestingly, one of the richest sources of MSM in the diet of mammals is milk.

"While MSM, recognized as a normal dietary factor of vertebrates, should be considered in the dietary factor category, it posesses certain bio-medical properties similiar to DMSO together with additional biological activity not possessed by DMSO. It is most interesting that MSM has no exceptional activity, in vivo, where biological normalcy is presented. The original paper on the subject referenced MSM as factor N, implying the property of returning the abnormal health state to normal". Excerpt from "MSM" by John Metcalf, DVM.
Yet ironically while sulfur is clearly essential for health, it is not officially regarded as such by the US Academy of Sciences, which establishes nutritional recommendations for the FDA. In addition, sulfur, per se, has been one of the least researched nutritional minerals.


RECOMMENDED USAGE

MSM is no more toxic than water. Any excess MSM in your system will stay in the blood stream for 12 hours removing toxins and cleaning the interior walls of arteries. Food refining and processing removes MSM much the way they reduce Vitamins and Minerals. When we process our foods with heat or drying, we lose most of the MSM that is vital to our well being. MSM helps our bodies utilize the vitamins that we take, thereby providing the means to derive the maximum benefit from them.

MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms, and is present in low concentrations in our body fluids and tissues. It is a natural component of many fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat. It is also found in tea, coffee, chocolate and milk. However, unless your diet is composed primarily of raw foods, it is unlikely that you are receiving enough MSM for proper health management.
A single use of MSM is usually not effective in ameliorating symptoms. Noticeable results are usually seen within 2-21 days. The amount of MSM in each use is not critical, uses ranging from 150-5000 mg per day may be ingested and put to work internally. However the benefit of MSM is enhanced when coupled with equal amounts of Asorbic Acid, Vitamin C.

DETOXIFICATION FLUSHING TOXINS OR CANDIDA
One in five may experience negative detoxification symptoms in the first 1-10 days during which toxins are flushed from the system. Symptoms may include diarrhea, skin rash and/or possible headache along with several days of fatigue.
In general the more intense the symptoms, the more toxins there are in the body, and the more MSM is needed for detoxification. To reduce toxic symptoms (if you suspect Candida or metals) start with a lower amount of 750 mg, two times a day and build up to 3,000 mg. twice a day.

Otherwise for a maximum benefit, it's recommended to use an initial "load" amount of 3,000 mg twice a day (Note: this amount can be safely continued indefinitely for maximum results). After initial use, physical energy levels should increase.

Administering MSM Supplement to Pets
When administering MSM into your pet's diet, make note of the following:

1. Make sure it is put in pet's food - if food needs to be warmed, warm up food first, then add MSM. Heating MSM will destroy it's nutritional benefits.

2. Make sure you start off with a very small amount to integrate into your pets daily diet. It's safe to give at any meal time.

3. Proportions of MSM in your pet's diet: Start off with 1/4 tsp per Every 20 lbs or 1/8 tsp for every 10 lbs of body weight and slowly work up to twice that amount in 2 weeks. Note: with cats, do not exceed 1/4 tsp for any cat and at any meal time.

4. Do not give MSM to your pet directly in mouth - must be taken in food.


DOGS WITH ARTHRITIS

MSM is wonderful in helping aid the relief of arthritis in dogs and in people. It's a super non-inflammatory - and it will not interfere with any other medications your pet may be on.

In fact, MSM will not only alleviate the inflammation which keeps the arthritis progressing, but it will also alleviate pain. In a couple months after administering MSM to your pet -- you should notice a higher level of activity in your dog and he/she will act and feel like a younger pup again.

After a couple months and longer your pet's body will actually begin to generate cartilage that has been lost due to age, injury or both. That is why MSM is so amazing. Because MSM stops inflammation, it gives the body a chance to start MSM is naturally, it's replenishing the MSM that our bodies normally have from birth and that we begin to lose over time.

As you have read our abstract about what MSM is and what it does for our bodies and our overall health: boosts the immune system, preventing illness and helping to overcome illness and afflictions, such as arthritis.
