MSM, which stands for methylsulfonylmethane, is a natural substance present in food & in the human body. MSM forms virtually all tissues, especially those highest in protein, such as red blood cells, muscles, skin, and hair. MSM is a source of sulfur, a mineral element critical to the normal function and structure of the body. Sulfur plays a role in the making of our body mass, in protecting us against toxicity and harmful stress, and has a long history of healing.

MSM capsules, a safe, natural, side-effect free compound, provides muscle comfort, increased blood supply, scar tissue softening, and pollen season comfort. As we grow older, we lose more of the MSM in our bodies which may lead to weakness, poor resistance to infection, slow recovery from exercise, and slow healing from wounds. By making MSM part of your daily diet, healthy, comfortable joint and muscle movement can be attained as well as greater comfort during the pollen season.

A number of additional good things happen when making MSM part of your daily diet including softer skin, thicker hair, stronger nails, and normal bowel movements.

For those suffering from inflammatory bowel conditions, which are said to be quite common, MSM can help ease the discomfort and help normalize bowel function. Inflammatory bowel conditions include IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. "Oral MSM helps relieve inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn's usually affects the lower segment of the small intestine, causing both severe pain and diarrhea," explain Jacob, Lawrence and Zucker. "The diarrhea, in turn, leads to painful irritation and inflammation in the perineal are between the anus and the genitals. MSM helps reduce the inflammation in the gut, which will lessen pain and diarrhea."

Allergy sufferers can also obtain relief from MSM. Allergic reactions frequently are related to inflammation. Jacob, Lawrence and Zucker attribute the efficacy of MSM in allergies to its ability to block "the receptivity of histamine in sensitive tissues, such as the mucous membranes of the nasal passages. This action is something like shutting the cell door and preventing entry to histamine."

Also, MSM may provide necessary sulfur for antibody production to combat germs and allergens, as well as for producing enzymes that counteract inflammation.
