Product Indications

MSM is a natural sulphur source with anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties (especially seasonal allergies such as pollen allergy). Some research also suggests that MSM may support immune system function and reduce glycation, an age accelerating metabolic process that occurs in the body (especially as a result of a diet high in refined carbohydrates). Natural body stores of MSM decline in tandem with the aging process. MSM also boosts skin-collagen, thereby helping to slow wrinkle formation and reduce skin sagging. MSM also provides sulphur for hair and nail growth. Some research suggests that MSM may also reduce acne. The therapeutic effects of MSM are enhanced by vitamin C (vitamin C is essential for the metabolism of MSM to sulphur).

Pharmacological Action

MSM is an odourless metabolite of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). MSM is a source of sulfur for the amino acids cysteine and methionine. Incorporation of MSM derived sulfur into methionine is regulated by a limiting step involving micro-organisms in the intestinal lumen. MSM is primarily used for osteoarthritis. Preliminary research suggests MSM might inhibit degenerative changes in joints in animal models of osteoarthritis. MSM is also being studied for allergic rhinitis where it seems to significantly inhibit the release of nitric acid and prostaglandin E2 by alleviating the expression of inductible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2. Researchers suspect that MSM might have anti-inflammatory activities. MSM is also a source of sulphur in the body which is beneficial in treating acne and for hair and nail growth. The therapeutic effects of MSM is enhanced by vitamin C which works synergistically in boosting collagen and joint tissue.
