Product description:
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is found naturally in the body and is a form of organic sulfur. We need sulfur for the body to produce creatine and collagen , which strengthens skin, hair and nails, among other things. Other protein-rich tissues such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, cartilage and more also need sulfur. Taking dietary supplements in the form of MSM can therefore be a good idea as MSM can have several good effects on our health, read more below.
MSM and cleansing effect
MSM is also considered to have a cleansing effect on the body. In other words, MSM activates the body's cleansing system so it is not uncommon to experience cleansing symptoms when we start taking MSM supplements. It is also not uncommon for MSM to activate the stomach and for this reason the recommendation is to start with a low dose. We are all different on the inside and have different biochemistry so start with a low dose and increase the dose of MSM slowly to find your own dose.
MSM can also be helpful for, for example, joint pain, eczema, inflammation, poor hair and nail quality, stomach and intestinal problems. MSM also provides a supplement of the hydrocarbon methyl that helps our liver handle harmful estrogen. As you hear, organic sulfur (MSM) can have many health benefits for us. In fact, we have known about it for hundreds of years. Sulfur has long been used for, for example, various skin conditions and in hair products.
How does MSM work?
Our entire body is made up of cells and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) acts as a softener for our cells. MSM penetrates the cell and reduces pressure, making the cell more permeable because the cell membrane becomes softer with MSM. As a result, our cells absorb oxygen and nutrients better, which means that the cells can more effectively handle and get rid of waste products. It is not uncommon for us to become more alert and experience increased energy from MSM.
A study - MSM keeps your skin young and counteracts aging skin
A study recently published in the International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research shows that supplementation with MSM (OptiMSM) has a visible positive effect on the skin. This study was conducted in two phases. First a pilot study followed by a dose-response study. In the pilot study, 20 people were given either 3 g of MSM per day or placebo for 16 weeks. Visual and subjective self-analysis of wrinkles and skin texture were used to assess the appearance of the skin. In the dose-response study, 63 people were given either 1 g or 3 g of MSM per day for 16 weeks.
Clinical expert classification, instrumental measurements and self-analysis were then used to evaluate skin appearance. The results showed that after the pilot study, subjects experienced a significant reduction in facial wrinkles and skin roughness compared to placebo.
After the dose-response study, instrumental measurements showed that MSM supplementation significantly reduced wrinkle severity, improved skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration. The study suggests that MSM may be effective in reducing visual signs of skin aging.
