NOW MSM Category
| MSM is an organic form of sulfur found in
all living organisms. It is the fourth most
abundant mineral in the human body (tenth most
abundant in the known universe) and is found in
every cell. Sulfur provides the chemical links
needed to create collagen, which forms and holds
the molecular structure of connective tissue. It
forms the disulfide bonds in connective tissue
that are the links in the glycosaminoglycan
chains that form cartilage. MSM is an essential
nutrient, not only for connective tissue, but
also for all other tissues in the human body.
Unfortunately, modern food-processing methods
greatly reduce natural MSM levels in foods, so
very little is obtained from the diet these
days, unless your diet is rich in unprocessed
milk, vegetables and grains. Sulfur is abundant
in chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, two
constituents that support healthy joint
function. |
