What is MSM?
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound and nutritional component of many foods. It is found in the normal diets of humans and almost all other animals. Methylsulfonylmethane is made up of 34% sulfur, the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. Methylsulfonylmethane supports healthy, active lifestyles and benefits multiple structures and functions within the body, including connective tissues and the respiratory system.

What does MSM do for the body?
Primarily recognized to benefit joint health, MSM provides sulfur, which is needed for the structural integrity of joint cartilage and connective tissue such as skin, hair and nails. MSM has been shown in animal research to inhibit inflammation by decreasing influx of certain white blood cells. Reduced inflammation increases circulation to aid recovery of sore muscles. In addition, MSM supplies methyl groups, which help lower homocysteine levels, an important factor in heart health.

Are there any food sources of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)?
Yes. Methylsulfonylmethane occurs naturally in the environment, is present in rainwater, and is absorbed by plants. So, small amounts of Methylsulfonylmethane are available in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and even unpasteurized milk. But, because it does not occur in effective amounts in food, the most reliable dietary source for adequate Methylsulfonylmethane intake is through supplementation.

Who should take MSM?
Because organic sulfur is a basic component for overall human wellness, most people can benefit from supplementing their diets with MSM.

Is MSM safe?
Very safe. MSM is non-toxic and non-allergenic. However, taking amounts greater than your body's ability to absorb it may result in loose stools. MSM is non-allergenic. In the many years MSM has been researched, no significant allergic reactions have been reported. MSM has no known contraindications with pharmaceutical drugs or over-the-counter medications. However, it's recommend that it not be used by pregnant or lactating mothers, or by children under the age of two. It is also recommended that persons taking blood thinners such as Coumadin (warfarin) consult their doctor before using MSM.

Is sulfur the same as sulfa drugs and sulfites?
Do not get confused between the two. MSM is an organic sulfur and is a nutrient. Sulfa-based drugs, also known as sulfonamides, do not occur naturally and are used as antibiotics. The sulfa molecule is much larger and can cause severe reactions in some individuals. While many people are allergic to sulfa drugs, no similar reactions have ever been reported with MSM. A third sulfur-containing compound, known as sulfites, is a form of preservative that can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. MSM does not contain sulfites, and should not cause a reaction in sulfite-sensitive individuals.
