- MSM is a water soluble, solid compound, also known as dimethyl sulfone. It is a direct metabolite of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and is sometimes known as DMSO2. The actions, benefits and non-toxicity of MSM were presented at the New York Academy of Sciences in 1982. MSM provides a unique source of biological sulphur, a major component of the body’s proteins, tissues, hormones, and enzymes. MSM enables cellular membranes to be more permeable, allowing the release of toxins and an increase in the uptake of nutrients. Through the formation of disulfide bonds, MSM is the foundation for proper conformation of extracellular body proteins, holding connective tissue together as well as maintaining the 3D structure of antibodies and hormones, including insulin. MSM plays critical roles in the catalytic function of many enzymes, detoxification of the liver, the production of keratin in strengthening hair and nails, and provide sulphur to the amino acids cysteine, methionine, and glutathione.
- Research indicates MSM may help regulate inflammation, inhibit pain impulses along nerve fibres, increase blood supply to inflamed tissue, reduce muscle spasms, and soften scar tissue. MSM may inhibit the abnormal cross-linking of collagen, which can support formation of health connective tissue, retention of cartilage. MSM enhances mucosal membranes and may benefit allergies, asthma, bladder inflammation, lupus, and cellular detoxification.
- It has been reported that the effectiveness of MSM to relieve pain may allow the dosage of prescribed medication to be reduced with the possibility of complete discontinuation of other pain medication. MSM is rapidly establishing a reputation as a safe, natural and effective solution for many types of pain and inflammatory conditions.
- Ascorbic acid is also involved in the biosynthesis of other connective-tissue components, including elastin, fibronectin, proteoglycans, bone matrix and elastin-associated fibrillin. It also appears to play a role in collagen gene expression and cellular procollagen secretion. Vitamin C influences the concentration of the cyclic nucleotides c-AMP and c-GMP, is involved in hormone production (adrenalin and serotonin), and required for the detoxification of toxic chemicals. Vitamin C exhibits excellent anti-allergic properties and has a critical role in wound and cartilage repair.
