MSM Organic Sulfur Health Benefits
Sulfur is essential for a healthy body and is now known for providing many benefits, most notably for its ability to support overall joint and cartilage health. Other benefits identified in the research include enhanced energy levels, reduction of allergy symptoms as well as providing healthier skin, hair, and nails.
SUPPORT JOINT HEALTH
Within joints, sulfur can help to strengthen the tissues that makeup joints, making it very important to overall joint health and recovery. More scientifically, research has shown that cartilage and joint integrity is a sulfur-dependent state as certain molecules within joints are linked between two sulfur atoms. As we age, the sulfur content of cartilage decreases which appears to correlate with the degeneration of overall joint health, oftentimes called arthritis.
MAXIMIZE MOBILITY
One study has shown that Organic Sulfur supplementation resulted in a 33% reduction in pain, as well as improvements in joint mobility, swelling, global evaluation, and walking time. MSM has anti-inflammatory properties without some of the dangerous side effects NSAIDs may present with such as the increased risk of stroke, heart attack, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
An additional study showed a significant reduction in pain as measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index visual analog scale (WOMAC), an outcome measure commonly used in rehabilitation clinics treating arthritis pain.
Many MSM users describe an improvement in recovery from exercise. Utilized correctly, this allows for faster physical gains by limiting time off. MSM appears to work as an antioxidant, limiting damage from free radicals found within the body.
OPTIMIZE APPEARANCE
Studies suggest that MSM Organic Sulfur may play a vital role in maximizing skincare by providing support for the structural integrity of skin, improving its firmness and elasticity which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
MSM Organic Sulfur is a rich source of sulfur– a key component of both collagen and keratin. Collagen is the foundation of our skin, making up 70% of its dry weight. Keratin is the vital structural component of both hair and nails.
In addition, MSM powder appears to be non-irritating allowing users to mix it into their favorite lotions or creams. Learn how to make an MSM cream on this blog.
SUPPORT IMMUNE SYSTEM
Studies continue to support the role of MSM acting as an anti-inflammatory agent. Organic Sulfur can also aid cellular detoxification, and aid in the production of the immunity stimulant glutathione.
SEASONAL ALLERGY RELIEF
A preliminary study found that MSM Organic Sulfur supplementation helped reduce symptoms in people clinically diagnosed with allergies. Subjects reported improved respiratory symptoms throughout their time supplementing with Organic Sulfur. There have not been any reported cases of allergic reactions to MSM Organic Sulfur in medical literature, showing safety for those with allergies.
