MSM

What is MSM?
MSM is the abbreviation for methyl-sulfonyl-methane, a naturally occuring sulfur compound. This compound is found in tissues and fluids of plants, of animals, and of people. MSM and its related compounds make up 85% of the sulfur in living organisms. Our bodies are composed primarily of five basic elements: oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur.


Why do we need sulfur?
  • Sulfur is needed to form blood proteins and amino acids
  • Sulfur provides the chemical links needed to form collagen, the protein found in connective tissue
  • Sulfur is essential for healthy hair, skin, and nails
  • Sulfur activates and helps the body utilize Vitamin C, B1, B5 (pantothenic acid) and biotin
  • Sulfur is used by the liver to manufacture bile, a necessary element for proper digestion
  • Sulfur is essential in maintain body pH, the acid-alkaline balance
  • Sulfur is an important component in insulin production, and aids in carbohydrate metabolism


  • Where does MSM come from?
    Dietary MSM comes from fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, meats, seafood, and milk. Processing of these products, however, destroys or greatly reduces actual MSM content. Pioneer MSM researcher Robert Hershcler says: "MSM is shy, evasive and escape-prone. While present naturally when food is very fresh, it can be driven out of any food by even moderate processing. People, generally speaking, wil lbe sulfur-deficient unless they eat their fish and meat raw and their vegetables unwashed and uncooked.”


    MSM levels in humans decline with age, resulting in symptoms of fatigue, tissue and organ malfunction, and increased susceptibility to disease.

    Health Benefits
  • MSM Helps in Relief from acidity and heartburn
  • MSM Helps in Relief of environmental, food and drug allergies
  • MSM Helps in Relief from symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis


  • MSM Research
    Animal research at Ohio State University College of Medicine has shown that oral MSM supplementation can protect against the onset of breast cancer in laboratory animals.


    Research at OSU also shows MSM to be a preventative agent for colon cancer.

    Herschler discovered MSM could produce sometimes extraordinary relief from symptoms of emphysema

    Animal research has shown MSM to have anti-inflammatory effects on the eyes

    Research has shown rapid relief, even in stubborn cases, of stomach distress, constipation, gastrointestinal inflammation and recurring diarrhea

    Research reported extending the lifespans of animals with lupus erythematosus

    Research shows MSM is capable of reducing or eliminating leg and back cramps, muscle spasms, and general soreness

    Research has shown that MSM is remarkably effective in treating parasitic and fungal infections both on the skin and internally, including fungus, giardia, trichimonas and intestinal worms such as nematoces, enterobius, and others

    Patent information reports MSM has been found to be effective in eliminating external scars including stretch marks, burns, and surgical incisions

    Herschler discovered that MSM softened the skin, making it more elastic

    Because of its effect on collagen and protein, MSM helps reduce the hardening of skin and connective tissue, thus making it an extraordinary treatment for improving the quality of the hair, skin and nails

    A study at OHSU shows significant reduction in snoring after applying a liquid MSM solution to each nostril in test subjects

    How Much MSM Should Be Used?
    To be effective therapeutically, MSM should be taken frequently, ideally, every day Researchers have generally used daily dosages of between 250 mg and 2,000 mg. In severe cases, up to 5,000 mg. per day have been used without side effects.


    Are Their Any Drug Interactions with MSM?
  • MSM appears to be non-toxic, non-allergenic, and does not interfere or interact with any other types of medicines.
  • More Internal Applications of MSM (according to research)
  • Chronic Pain
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Candida
  • Urinary Tract Infections
  • Alzheimer's Disease
  • Pneumonia
  • Rheumatism
  • Migraine Headaches DMSO is easily absorbed through the skin, it can be rubbed on the skin to ease muscle and arthritis pain. MSM, on the other hand, is taken orally in supplement form. Although it is mainly used for the treatment of arthritis, its proponents claim it is effective for the treatment of a wide variety of ailments, including headaches, muscle pain, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, and allergies.

    Any food that is rich in sulfur, such as broccoli, eggs, meat, garlic, onions, and milk, contains some DMSO and MSM. DMSO is sold as an industrial solvent that is not intended for human use. MSM is available as a nutritional supplement in health food stores. DMSO comes in liquid form and is rubbed onto the skin to relieve arthritis pain and inflammation. MSM comes in capsule form.

    For DMSO, the main concern is getting a pure that is free of contaminants. However, there have been no safety studies in the United States showing that even DMSO is safe for long-term use when rubbed on the skin. It has a strong sulfur odor that has been described as smelling like fish, oysters, garlic, and rotten eggs; it can become incorporated into sweat and saliva, causing body odor and bad breath. It can also cause skin irritation at the site of application.

    Animal toxicity studies have been done with MSM and it was found to be safe. It is a nontoxic compound, even at high doses. However, it can have a mild blood-thinning effect and shouldn't be taken with nonprescription blood thinners like aspirin, ginkgo biloba, high doses of vitamin E, prescription blood thinners like Coumadin, or other drugs or supplements that reduce clotting.
