MSM Powder 16 oz (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane)
Sulfur (MSM): A Basic Essential Nutrient Needed Now, More than Ever Before
Methylsulfonylmethane is a relatively new dietary supplement form of sulfur that is found in our living tissues. MSM supports healthy connective tissues like tendons, ligaments, and muscle. Thus, it is important in conditions such as arthritis, muscle pains, bursitis, etc. MSM should be considered an integral part of any health care practice because of its physiological action, indirect importance, and current / future uses.
A body made up of healthy, flexible cells will not only feel better, it will look better too. The body is continuously at work replacing old, worn out cells with new ones. The process goes on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without stop. When all the raw materials needed for cell-building are available, it is a very efficient process. When there are deficiencies, the new cells may be weak, rigid or deformed.
One of the most important raw materials for building healthy new cells is a form of organic sulfur known as methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM). This element is so essential to life that it is found in every cell of every plant and every animal. Sulfur makes up 0.25% of human body weight. However neither plants nor animals can use elemental sulfur directly. Sulfur is not easily available to living organisms in its inorganic form
MSM is a naturally-occuring form of dietary sulfur found in fresh raw foods that are involved in the cycle of rain. MSM is deficient in foods grown in greenhouses or in foods grown through irrigation. MSM is volatile and destroyed by cooking. In the body, MSM softens leathery internal tissues by rebuilding connective tissue with elastic sulfur bonds. This is how MSM lives up to its reputation of building collagen and maintaining healthy joints. This is also why MSM increases flexibility (good for yoga), hastens recovery time from sore muscles, and is excellent for recovery from athletic injuries.
MSM works to build collagen, helping to create smooth skin, thick lustrous hair, and strong nails. MSM makes the tissues more permeable so that they may move nutrients in and toxins out with greater ease. MSM has a remarkable effect at neutralizing foreign proteins (i.e. allergens, toxins, undigested food) making it anti-inflammatory. MSM works to enhance beauty and restore vitality to our skin and joints. MSM works particularly well in conjunction with vitamin-C rich foods. This MSM comes to you as a pure white crystaline powder.
Begin use by mixing one tablespoon with two cups of pure water or fresh orange juice.
MSM provides a source of organic sulfur for the amino acids that are essential for internal cleansing and improved flexibility. These same sulfur-bearing amino acids are found in abundance within Sun Warrior Protein. This protein powder exhibits a 98% digestion efficiency rating, shuttling these essential amino acids directly to the tissues where they are most needed. Combine MSM Powder with Sun Warrior Protein to speed the cleansing process, repair damaged skin and hair, and tone the muscles even more effectively than either used alone.
MSM powder displays a remarkable affinity for foods rich in Vitamin C. Maximum benefits may be obtained by mixing 1 Tablespoon of MSM powder with ½ teaspoon of Camu Camu berry powder in 3 Cups of water or juice. Camu Camu contains the highest levels of Vitamin C of any food in the world, making this combination extremely beneficial for immunity and essential for building supple, radiant skin. Add Sun Warrior Protein to this drink to take the synergy between sulfur and Vitamin C even further.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA & OREGON HEALTH SCIENCES UNIVERSITY STUDIES
In a study conducted by the University of California School of Medicine in Los Angeles, patients who took 2,250 milligrams of MSM daily for six weeks reported an 80 percent reduction in arthritis symptoms. Doctors at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland investigating MSM as an arthritis treatment found that patients taking MSM reported less pain, less stiffness, and greater mobility.
