MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane, Inorganic Sulfur, Su)
A form of inorganic sulfur originally
separated from DMSO at the University of Oregon. MSM is a natural
form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms and is
found in low concentrations within the body. MSM as organic
sulfur is necessary in making collagen, and thereinafter, connective
tissues and bone. MSM works hand-in-hand with glucosaminoglycans,
the enzymatically produced protein-sugar molecules which enable
and enhance intraellular communication, and especially increase
the effectiveness of the immune system and general cellular
restorative and tissue regenerative strategies of the body.
As a source of inorganic sulfur, MSM is involved with various
important coenzymes and vitamins, including coenzyme- A which
is of central importance within cellular respiration and the
Citric Acid Cycle, which burns fats and sugars to produce energy.
Important sulfur compounds include thiamin, biotin, lipoic acid,
coenzyme-A, glutathione, methionine and cysteine.
