MSM is a nutritional form of sulphur, which is an essential component in the formation of collagen, elastin, cartilage and keratin. It gives flexibility, tone and strength to muscles, bones, joints, internal membranes and especially the skin, hair and nails.
Adequate levels of sulphur in the body help to promote a radiant complexion, glowing skin and mineralised hair. Therefore sulphur is often referred to as “The beauty mineral”. However, research has found that most people are deficient in sulphur and that deficiency increases with age.
Raw Gaia’s MSM helps to promote elasticity, healing and repair. MSM makes cell walls more permeable, allowing nutrients and water to flow freely into cells. It also helps wastes and toxins to flow out. Consequently:
- MSM helps our bodies are able to absorb more nutrients – Vitamins and minerals “lock” with MSM, allowing the body to fully use them.
- Oxygen availability is increased – MSM helps to get oxygen into the blood more efficiently.
- People tend to feel more energetic – The intake of MSM increases cell permeability, therefore the absorption of nutrients and oxygen is improved while toxins are released, thereby helping to increase energy levels.
- MSM helps to reduce inflammation and swelling – By equalizing the pressure on both sides of a cell wall, MSM helps to take out inflammation out of soft tissue and helps to reduce pain from arthritis and rheumatism.
- MSM helps to maintain a proper pH balance – Sulphur is an essential component of insulin, which plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism. Sulphur also helps to main an overall body balance between alkalinity and acidity.
Raw Gaia’s MSM is 99.993% pure, derived from Canadian pine trees, not from petrochemicals, as sold by most manufacturers.
Directions: It is best to start taking MSM in small quantities initially (1/2 teaspoon in a pint size glass of water) and increase the dose gradually to 1 to 2 teaspoons each day. It tastes a bit bitter, but you will soon get used to it. It is well worth it!
There are no known side-effects to the intake of MSM.
