What is MSM?
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organic sulfur compound found naturally in some foods and produced in the body. Sulfur is the third most abundant mineral in the human body and is essential for building connective tissue, including joints, cartilage, and skin.
Sulfur's Role
Sulfur is needed for producing collagen and keratin, forming disulfide bonds that give proteins their structure. It's also required for glutathione synthesis--your body's master antioxidant.
Joint Support
MSM is popular for joint health because it provides the sulfur needed for cartilage repair while also reducing inflammation. Clinical studies show improvements in joint pain, stiffness, and physical function.
Synergy with Glucosamine
MSM is often combined with glucosamine and chondroitin in joint formulas. The combination appears more effective than any component alone.
Beauty Benefits
Because sulfur is essential for keratin (hair and nails) and collagen (skin), MSM is also used for beauty support. Some users report improvements in hair thickness and nail strength.
