IMPROVES SKIN, HAIR, ARTHRITIS, ENERGY, DETOX, WEIGHT LOSS, REDUCE PAIN… and so much more!
That’s why I call it a Miracle Supplement! MSM is an abbreviation for “Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane” — say that quickly 10 times, and you’ll see why we call it MSM. It is naturally found as an organic sulfur compound. This compound is the third largest nutrient found in the human body and is found in all vertebrates. MSM is also an ingredient found in meat, dairy products as well as vegetables. MSM is already well-known for its joint health benefits, but it may be important for a whole host of other reasons as well.
Sulphur is just now becoming more widely appreciated as a really critical nutrient, without which many other things don’t work properly, and most people are probably not getting enough sulphur from their diet anymore. For example, sulphur plays a critical role in detoxification, and also in inflammatory conditions. For detoxification, sulphur is part of one of the most important antioxidants that your body produces: glutathione. There are sulphur components in virtually every type of cell, so it’s extremely important. Without sulphur, glutathione cannot work. So, while not an antioxidant by itself, part of MSM’s action is to improve your body’s ability to make its own antioxidants. We’re only at the tip of the MSM iceberg, below is an incredible list of benefits to back up why I call this the “Miracle Supplement”, because there’s so much MSM can do for us all.
Decrease joint or muscle pain. MSM has been shown to benefit those with joint degeneration by significantly reducing inflammation while inhibiting the breakdown of cartilage. Studies show MSM is effective in reducing joint pain, stiffness and swelling. A study of 100 people over the age of 50 found that treatment with a supplement containing 1,200 mg of MSM for 12 weeks decreased pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints, compared to a placebo.
Decrease Inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of MSM are well documented by scientific research. It’s believed that MSM inhibits inflammatory responses in your body while increasing levels of glutathione, a potent antioxidant. 40 physically active men showed that taking 3 grams of MSM before exhaustive exercise decreased the release of inflammatory cytokines and prevented the over-stress of immune cells, compared to a placebo.
Speed Recovery. During exhaustive exercise, muscle damage occurs and oxidative stress increases, we experience muscle soreness and pain, which can hinder performance and training. MSM naturally speeds muscle recovery after intense exercise by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. 50 mg of MSM powder per kg of body weight for 10 days significantly reduced exercise-induced muscle damage following an 8.7 mile (14 km) run. In one study, 22 healthy women received 3 grams of MSM or a placebo per day for three weeks leading up to a half marathon. The MSM group reported less muscle soreness and joint pain than the placebo group. MSM has been acknowledged as beneficial for reducing pain after any prolonged endurance.
Alleviate Arthritis Pain and Stiffness. MSM is often used as a natural alternative to medications to improve arthritis symptoms. A study in 49 people with knee osteoarthritis found that taking 3.4 grams of MSM per day for 12 weeks reduced pain and stiffness and improved physical function, compared to a placebo. MSM enhances effectiveness of other supplements such as glucosamine sulphate, chondroitin sulphate and boswellic acid.
Relieve Allergy Symptoms. Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction that causes symptoms such as watery eyes, sneezing, itching, runny nose and nasal congestion. Common triggers of allergic rhinitis include animals, pollen and moulds. Studies have shown that MSM decreases allergic reactions by lowering inflammation and inhibiting the release of cytokines and prostaglandins. A study in 50 people with allergic rhinitis found that a dose of 2,600 mg of MSM per day over 30 days reduced symptoms including itching, congestion, shortness of breath, sneezing and coughing. Additionally, participants experienced a significant increase in energy by day 14.
Boost Immunity. Your immune system is a specialised network of tissues, cells and organs that is weakened by stress, illness, poor diet, insufficient sleep or lack of activity. Sulphur plays important roles in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation that can weaken immunity. MSM effectively restored glutathione levels and reduced inflammatory markers in mouse cells that had been weakened with HIV proteins.
Improve Skin Health. Keratin is a protein that acts as the main structural component in your hair, skin and nails. MSM may be beneficial by acting as a sulphur donor to keratin, strengthening this important protein. MSM is used in many skin creams to reduce premature ageing wrinkles, rosacea irritation and inflammation of the skin. When applied to the skin, MSM significantly improved redness, itching, inflammation, hydration and skin colour in people with rosacea, psoriasis and eczema.
Cancer-Fighting. MSM prevents the spread of cancer cells, known as metastasis. Test-tube studies have shown MSM inhibits growth of stomach, esophageal, liver, colon, skin and bladder cancer cells. It seems to do this by damaging cancer cell DNA. A study in mice with liver cancer showed that those injected with MSM had fewer tumours, smaller tumour size and less liver damage than those who did not receive the treatment. MSM was shown to inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells.
MSM Side Effects. When I first began using MSM I noticed some skin flushing, itchy hives and temporary detox symptoms, which taught me to slowly increase my dosage. Depending on a person’s toxicity, there may be mild reactions like nausea, bloating and diarrhoea. If they are sensitive. Applied to the skin, it may also cause mild skin or eye irritation. There is concern over mixing MSM with alcohol since other sulphur-containing medications can cause adverse reactions when mixed with alcoholic beverages; no studies have explored this potentially problematic combination yet. MSM supplements are generally considered safe. However, they may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhoea and skin reactions in some people. Start small and work up.
