MSM
So what exactly is
MSM? Official MSM is
Methylsulfonylmethane. Quite simply MSM is a food
that comes from the ocean, is water soluble, and is not a drug, or
a food additive. MSM is the 3rd largest ingredient found in the
human body.
MSM is a natural form of organic sulfonyl sulfur
compound that is found in the fluid of all living organisms. It is present
in a variety of foods, including most fresh raw fruits and green
vegetables, milk, meat, seafood, and some grains. It is also found in many
common beverages such as milk, coffee and tea. It is, in essence, a
pure white, odorless, essentially tasteless, water-soluble crystalline
solid sulfur powder.
Why does MSM help with the development of longer and
stronger hair? Various scientific studies have proven that MSM
contributes a definite normalizing effect on body functions.
The sulfur normally provided to the body by MSM is
required for healthy collagen and keratin which are essential for healthy
hair, skin and nails. MSM also has proven antioxidant benefits which
can disrupt or alter damaging chain reactions of lipid peroxidation in the
cell membranes.
MSM is considered to be one of the safest substances in
biology, similar in toxicity to water. MSM and its related compounds are
the source of 85 percent of the sulfur found in all living organisms. Many
researchers believe that sulfur, is a sorely neglected mineral nutrient
and plays an indispensable role in human nutrition.
MSM is volatile and is easily lost during even moderate processing.
Cooking, drying, smoking, pickling, and long-term storage can deplete the
MSM content of food. Unless the human diet is composed
primarily of raw foods, it is unlikely that sufficient MSM will be
ingested to significantly contribute to the nutritional sulfur
requirement.
MSM Sulfonyl Is Safe
Sulfonyl Sulfur, which is a key ingredient of MSM, should not be
confused with other ingredients like sulfa, sulfite or sulfate. Sulfa,
sulfite and/or sulfate are harmful derivatives of the sulfur family which
the body does not need and is not in any way included in MSM.
Sulfa is used in wounds to burn and cauterize while sulfites are put in
common foods to prevent the bugs from eating them, and sulfates are
used in lunch meats and sausages to preserve them.
Some people may be allergic to sulfa's, sulfites, and sulfates which
are part of the sulfur family like MSM.
The sulfonyl in MSM is nutritional, and it is extremely rare that
humans are ever allergic to it. Remember, all human bodies require MSM.
Vitamins and amino acids work with MSM to repair and create these
healthy cells. Without proper levels of MSM, our bodies are unable to
build good healthy cells, and this can lead to all sorts of illness.
To maintain good health, we need good flexible, healthy cells. Illness
is the result and consequence of a body deficient of materials needed to
repair damaged tissue and organs.
To fight this deterioration process we must supplement our diets with
MSM to provide the body with the proper building materials to maintain a
healthy body.
New Cells 24 Hours A Day
MSM has been proven to be rapidly metabolized by the body. Sulfur is
found in all tissues measured within 24 hours of oral ingestion.
The majority of unused and metabolized MSM occurs within 95-100 hours
following ingestion, although measurable quantities have been reported in
urine 400-450 hours. Sulfur has a rapid turnover in the body.
Therefore it is very important to be sure that sulfur be replenished on a
regular basis.
If our body doesn't receive the proper nutrition and the building
materials it needs, it will produce unhealthy, dysfunctional cells that
are deficient in the basic ingredients that constitute a healthy cell.
The human body is amazing and always tries to heal itself, but with
deficient materials, it draws from other resources, and usually takes what
it needs from other parts of the body.
If we give the body what it needs to heal itself, it will repair
damaged parts and become healthy again. If we want a good flexible cell,
capable of maintaining good health, we need to supplement our diets with
MSM, to enable the body to heal itself.
Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to take vitamin C along
with MSM to make it work. If you are unable to take vitamin C, MSM
will still work for you.
No Overdose With MSM.
The body will use what it needs, and after twelve hours, will flush any
excess amounts out of the body. If you want to maintain good healthy cells
24 hours a day, it is suggested you take MSM in the morning and evening.
The MSM will flush what the body doesn't retain semi-permanently every
twelve hours, and because it is a free radical and foreign protein
scavenger. MSM cleans the blood stream, so allergies to food and pollens
go away in about 3 or 4 days.
Toxicity studies completed on MSM demonstrated that the compound is
remarkably non-toxic. Extremely high dosages, up to 2,000 mg/kg, were
utilized for measurement purposes in the toxicity research with no adverse
reaction measured.
No Known Side Effects
Acute, intermediate, and long term studies indicate that MSM exhibits
very low toxicity, by any route of administration. In fact, MSM has a
toxicity profile similar to that of glycerin and water. Aqueous solutions
of MSM have been used as safe blood dilutents, demonstrating it to be
nonallergenic, nonpyretic, and without adverse pharmacological effect.
MSM has been widely used as a dietary supplement without any reports of
allergy or intolerance related to its use. Supplements of MSM are
comfortably assimilated without side effects. There are no known
contraindications.
MSM is odorless and does not produce intestinal gas or body odor which
may occur with some other forms of sulfur.
HairTopia & MSM
The only side effects of taking MSM alone, or with other supplements
like HairTopia, are stronger nails, softer skin and faster growing hair.
This is because with MSM you have access to more sulfur.
The sulfur normally provided to the body by MSM is
required for healthy collagen and keratin which are essential for healthy
hair, skin and nails. Healthy hair is stronger hair and hair that can
achieve its natural genetic growth patterns.
Summary
The body knows what it needs better than any doctor. It will use MSM
where it is needed. Even if your body is experiencing more than one
problem... give it a little extra MSM so it can provide more nutrition and
heal itself.
