What is MSM and is it a Miracle Supplement?

Methylsulfonylmethane also known as dimethyl sulfone or MSM, is an organic sulfur found in animals, humans and many plants. MSM is taken as a supplement to improve immune function, lower inflammation and repair damaged tissue. Biologically active sulfur is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is a critical nutrient for our bodies to remain youthful and energetic.

Biologically active sulfur in a critical nutrient for our bodies and helps us stay youthful and energetic. MSM is found in the adrenal cortex, cerebral spinal fluid and connective tissues. As we age our cells become damaged, our joints become stiff, our skin loses its youthful appearance and our energy levels decline. Unlike most sulfurs, MSM is orderless and tasteless. Many whole foods like, broccoli, cabbage, eggs, and brussels sprouts contain sulfur, however, if they are not fresh, or if they have been cooked, most of the sulfur is destroyed.
