MSM

Methylsulfonylmethane, MSM for short, is an organic sulphur compound. It is found in plant and animal organisms. MSM is an important component of human food. The human body consists of 0.2 % sulphur. A lack of sulphur is more common than one might think. One-sided and insufficient nutrition is mainly responsible for a lack of sulphur. Often the focus is on other nutrients, and hardly anyone pays attention to sulphur. Yet sulphur is a vital element that should be given more attention.

MSM and proteins

MSM can be found in many endogenous substances. It is present in enzymes, hormones and amino acids. Glutathione, one of the most important substances in the fight against free radicals, needs MSM. If the body lacks MSM, it cannot produce enough glutathione. This leads to oxidative stress. The immune system now has to work harder. Sulphur-containing amino acids, together with other amino acids, build up the body’s own proteins. The resulting sulphur bridges determine the spatial structures of proteins and enzymes. These bridges are also built without the sulphur compounds. However, they now have a different structure and are biologically inactive. A supply of MSM ensures that the proteins and enzymes are built up again in their correct form.

MSM and the immune system

MSM is extremely important for the immune system. Methionine, a sulphur-containing amino acid, is responsible for the transport of selenium. Selenium protects against pathogens and is important for the eyes, vascular walls and connective tissue. It also protects against free radicals. Without sulphur, there is also no methionine. Selenium no longer reaches where it is needed. The body’s own defences no longer function properly. Inflammations, infections and signs of wear and tear are the result.

MSM and vitamins

Since MSM improves the permeability of the cell membranes, it also supports the metabolism. Superfluous waste and metabolic products are expelled from the body more quickly. Nutrients can be better absorbed by the body. The effect of vitamins and nutrients is enhanced.

MSM and detoxification

Sulphur is a great helper in detoxifying the body. It is an important part of the body’s detoxification system. Sulphur is present in many enzymes that are responsible for detoxification. Sulphur helps to remove environmental toxins, alcohol and tobacco from the body. It supports the liver, the body’s detoxification organ. A lack of sulphur prevents toxins from being removed from the body
