MSM

MSM is premium quality methylsulfonylmethane providing sulphur, the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. This supplement helps joint cartilage and connective tissue. It also inhibits inflammation, which supports muscle recovery through improved blood flow to the joints.

Clinical research confirms that MSM is safe and effective in supporting joint health and reducing inflammation. MSM occurs naturally in rainwater and is readily absorbed by plants. So, tiny amounts of MSM are present in fresh grains, fruit, vegetables and even unpasteurised milk. As it doesn’t occur in effective amounts in our food, the most reliable source of MSM is through dietary supplementation.

Primarily MSM is recognized as a key benefit for joint health. It provides sulphur, the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, which is needed for the structural integrity of joint cartilage and connective tissue such as skin, hair and nails. It 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, supplies methyl groups, which help lower homocysteine levels, an important factor in heart health.

When we have a vitamin deficiency of MSM, our bodies cannot make enough good cells to overcome the effects of the sick cells. With the right nourishment the body has a far better chance of healing itself. MSM is the flexible bond between proteins. When a cell dies, a new cell takes its place. Without the needed amount of MSM, it attaches but becomes rigid. These are cells are associated with aging.

A typical anti-inflammatory diet includes a well-balanced, varied diet that is high in vegetables and low in refined carbohydrates and undesirable fats, such as saturated fats and trans fats^[19]. Anti-inflammatory foods include most colorful fruits and vegetables, oily fish (which contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids), nuts, seeds, and certain spices, such as ginger. Extra virgin olive oil contains a chemical oleocanthal that acts similarly to ibuprofen. Those following an anti-inflammatory diet will avoid refined oils and sugars, and show a preference for so-called anti-inflammatory foods in their meal choices.^[20]
