Sulfur plays an indispensable role in human nutrition that is commonly overlooked. It is responsible for the conformation of body proteins through the formation of disulphide bonds, thereby holding connective tissues together. Thiol (i.e. sulphudryl) groups are vital to the catalytic functions of numerous enzymes.
Purified MSM can be applied topically or administered orally for effective bioavailability. MSM is of exceedingly low toxicity to all forms of plant and animal life.
Biochemical Properties
Allergic Response
MSM has a broad and profound beneficial effect in ameliorating diverse allergic responses. MSM ameliorates allergic reactions to inhalant, ingestant, contact and infectant allergens. Subjects find a direct correlation between concentrations of MSM used and resistance to allergies. Although MSM alone may not totally eliminate allergic responses, the majority of subjects report a significant reduction in concurrent anti-allergy medication. Besides environmental allergies (such as house dust, pollen, and animal hair), food and drug allergies (such as aspirin, NSAIDs, antibiotics, dairy, cereals, and shrimp) are afforded considerable protection by MSM.
Gastrointestinal Upset (GI)
MSM is effective in ameliorating GI upset such as that produced by ingesting certain pharmaceuticals (e.g. aspirin or Mortin) or due to parasitic infections. Symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, nausea and hyperacidity are all reported to improve.
Pain from Inflammatory disorders
Pain and inflammation from various sources, such as arthritis and other musculo-skeletal disorders, were relieved by MSM significantly. MSM significantly reduced night leg cramps, back cramps and muscle spasms. Reduction in lactic acid buildup is one of the functions of MSM. This would be useful in sports nutrition.
Parasitic Infection
MSM demonstrates activity against a variety of parasites of the intestinal and urogenital tracts, among them Giardia lambia ("traveller's diarrhea"), Trichomonads, and round worms. MSM may affect such infections by competing for binding sites at the mucous membrane surface, preventing or blocking interface between host and parasite.
