MSM

MSM

Sulfur is an element present in all living organisms. Sulfur plays an irreplaceable role in the human body – it is part of sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine) and is a component of proteins (including collagen). Sulfur is an important ingredient in many regulatory substances (hormones, enzymes, vitamins). Sulfur is involved in the formation of immunoglobulins and the formation of the body’s immune defense. Full functioning of the body’s detoxification system is impossible without a sufficient supply of sulfur, which helps neutralize and remove toxins from the body. Sulfur is part of the connective tissue (glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates) of almost all organs and tissues; it is necessary for the synthesis of keratin, which ensures the growth of hair and nails. Therefore, sulfur stimulates the production of joint fluid, increasing joint mobility and ligament strength, reducing the risk of cramps and joint inflammation, and reducing traumatic pain.

Active Ingredients

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic product containing sulfur. It is a bioavailable source of dietary sulfur. MSM is found in most natural foods of animal and plant origin, but is lost during storage and processing. The richest in it are onions, cabbage, and other representatives of the cruciferous family, mustard, horseradish, and legumes. MSM is one of the least toxic substances and, unlike other sulfur compounds, which are often included in pharmaceuticals and preservatives (sulfates, sulfides and other sulfa forms of sulfur compounds), MSM not only does not cause allergic reactions, but, on the contrary, has an anti-allergic effect. Moreover, a positive effect is noted for allergies associated with both household and food and drug allergens. MSM actively acts against a number of parasites, such as Giardia, Trichomonas and roundworms, blocking the contact of pathogens with the mucous membrane.

Constant replenishment of sulfur in the body is essential to maintain the integrity of connective tissue. The direction of action of MSM is due to the influence of sulfur, which:

1. participates in the formation of cartilage tissue, is part of the structural components of cartilage tissue, important for the health of joints;
   2. necessary for collagen biosynthesis, promotes skin elasticity and wound healing;
   3. strengthens muscles, counteracts the formation of scoliosis during the period of active growth, reduces muscle pain and eliminates muscle cramps;
   4. has an anti-inflammatory effect, especially effective for arthritis, myositis, sprains, tendovaginitis, bursitis;
   5. provides the catalytic functions of most enzymes in the human body, due to the presence of thiol (sulfhydryl) groups;
   6. has a detoxifying effect by binding to toxic substances;
   7. has an antiallergic effect, reduces sensitivity to allergens;
   8. increases antioxidant protection, is part of sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine, cysteine, taurine), participates in the synthesis of glutathione, ensuring protein stability;
   9. reduces the need for insulin (sulfur is involved in the synthesis of insulin), stabilizes blood sugar levels, plays an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, improves the course of diabetes and reduces the number of complications.

Thus, the indications for the use of MSM NSP are a wide variety of diseases: allergies, lung diseases and bronchial asthma, arthrosis and arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes, skin diseases, burns, scar processes, acne. In addition, the use of MSM NSP helps maintain healthy teeth, skin, nails and hair, eliminates pain in systemic inflammatory diseases, and is especially effective in cases of damage to the musculoskeletal system. MSM NSP can also be recommended to athletes after physical activity to relieve numbness, pain and muscle tension.
