How MSM can help you with your stress, pain, and wrinkles

MSM sounds kind of odd. It sounds a bit like M&Ms but it is nothing like it!

WHAT IS MSM?

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring, organic form of sulfur. It is an odourless, white and fine powder that dissolves easily in liquid.

Sulfer has incredible preventive and therapeutic properties which support active and healthy lifestyle.

BENEFITS

Protein Structure

When plants absorb MSM form rainwater, they convert it into the amino acids called methionine and cysteine. These two amino acids, being essential amino acids, need to be obtained through our food as our body cannot make these. Two molecules of cysteine can oxidise and bond together sulfer bond and these are the key factors that hold proteins in shape and essential for the activities, qualities of proteins

Connective Tissue

Nails and hair consists of protein called “keratin”, which has a high sulfer content.  Connective tissues and cartilage contain proteins called “collagen” with flexible sulfur bonds. In skin, collagen works with elastin to give skin its elasticity. In cartilage, Sulfer bond is needed to give cartilage its structure and flexibility. The flexibility is not only needed for the structure , but important for transporting nutrients, electrolytes, signal compounds and other essential communication between cells in the body.

Cell Membrane Permeability

Sulfur bridges form flexible connections between the cells and the surrounding connective tissues. This allows the elasticity of the cells and prevents cells to harden. When that happens the membranes become less permeable and can result in a reduced transport of oxygen and nutrients into the cells as well as reduced excretion of waste products from within the cells.

Metabolism

Sulfer bridges are responsible for the structure of enzymes. Enzykes are protein that control many things including relation of metabolic processes. It is important for the cellular energy production.

Sulfer also plays a role in the electron transport system, especially conversion of vitamin B1 and Biotin. These vitamins are needed for converting carbohydrates into energy by burning glucose. Insulin, hormone to regulate the blood sugar level cannot work without the sulfer bridges.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

Sulfer can help you with so many things but here is a list!

Joint flexibility

reduce pain and swelling

improve circulation

reduce stiffness and faster recovery

age related diseases

Fatigue

Depression

stress

Psoriasis

Eczema

Rosacea

Dermatitis

Acne

Dandruff

anti-parastic 

improves lung capacities

preventing diabetes by regulating insulin

increase cell’s intake of many nutrients

detoxification

fight fatigue

Of course in an ideal world we can get all the nutrients from the food we eat.

MSM can be found in keratin and collagen of animals you eat (nails, bones, skin, cartilage)  as well as their raw milk. They will have to be grass fed and organically grown and NOT pasteurised.

In plants you can find MSM in most of dark leafy greens (yay!) and our nine time roasted bamboo salt ( which has an amazing taste and other health benefits)

It is important that MSM is highly water soluble so if you cook your vegetables or even freeze them there are not much MSM left by the time they are on your plate. (well, that is another reason to eat raw food, right?)

 

IS MSM POWDER FOR YOU?

MSM powder is not “real food” but is a supplement. Perfect diet is not always easy these days and it is few of my go-to supplements,

IS ALL THE MSM THE SAME?

MSM is usually manufactured in two ways.

Distillation vs Crystallisation

Crystallisation is easier and less expensive. However that can leave many of the toxins and impurities.

Choose Distillation preferably done in a dedicated factory so there is no contamination.

Also ask about any GMO or pesticides used in raw material or in a process and obtain MSM from a company that can give you their specification to prove its purity, tested by third party.
