MSM is a naturally occurring organic form of dietary sulfur. The body uses sulfur in many processes, including collagen synthesis, cell oxygenation, carbohydrate metabolism and the maintenance of balance between acidity and alkalinity. These processes consume sulfur, which must be replenished.

Our bodies use MSM on a daily basis for several specific functions: to maintain the structure of proteins, to protect cells and cell membranes, to replenish the connections between cells throughout the body, and to preserve the molecular framework of connective tissue. MSM helps fortify connective tissues, maintains healthy joints and helps reduce inflammation. In addition, MSM increases circulation, scavenges free radicals, helps regulate elimination, and may have anti-parasitic action.

MSM is found in several raw foods -- milk, fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and meat. But it is easily destroyed by processing and cooking. Most people do not get enough MSM in their daily diets.

Clinical studies have proven that MSM is a good source of treatment for arthritis, emphysema, cataracts, asthma, allergies, and depression, and it helps alleviate constipation.

Take three tablets twice daily with a meal to supply your body with the recommended 4.5 g per day.
