Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) is a naturally occurring compound
found in the foods we eat, but MSM is so much more that “just
another supplement”. MSM has been reported as the miracle substance
capable of increasing the quality of life by alleviating pain and
discomfort. When we feel better, we just live better all the way
around.
But how does methyl sulfonyl methane work? How much should you take?
What foods can you eat to get that extra sulfur? What makes MSM so
different? What are the side effects?
As is common with many new supplements, people are curious as to the
benefits of this new wonder supplement. In addition, many people
find that the educational information on MSM is severely lacking. In
fact, many scientists and physicians are still unsure of all MSM can
do or what is considered “too” much simply because the controlled
testing has not been completed offering this vital information.
What is known is that sulfur is a basic mineral that our bodies
contain in abundance. In fact, sulfur is probably one of the more
important elements in our bodies controlling collagen, aging, and
how our cells repair. As we naturally age, our bodies tend to not
have enough sulfur so we see such things as joint pain, thickness of
the cells, and rough skin.
This has often been considered a natural part of aging, but today,
there is a solution that will allow you to fight that natural aging
process without harsh chemicals or substances. When people are tired
of this natural aging process, they often choose the safe solution
of MSM for their diet.
Food Sources Containing MSM
Finding MSM in foods should be easy. Many green vegetables, fruits,
meats, seafood, and milk contain a high quantity of naturally
occurring MSM. The problem is that sulfur has a very volatile
molecular structure. What this means is that when MSM meets any form
of heat, it quickly loses its potency. We live in a society with
pasteurized milk, well-done meat, and well cooked vegetables. This
means that MSM is quickly cooked out of our diets leaving us feeling
the affects of a body starved for sulfur.
Common Dosages for MSM
Typically, 250 mgs (25gms) to 2,500 mgs (250gms) need to be consumed
daily to get the maximum benefits of MSM. Generally, you will want
to start at a small dosage and work your way up to the maximum
dosage for your body. Taking the MSM supplement before midday will
ensure your body is not working overtime when it comes time for your
sleep cycle. In addition, you may need to take MSM supplements for
12-weeks to see the maximum benefits.
Trusting your MSM supplement needs to a foreign supplier is not a
good or viable option. Only those MSM supplements manufactured in
the United States will be free from those harmful fillers many other
countries use due to regulations. When you need more for your body,
trusting MSM just makes good, old-fashioned common sense.
