MSM
(Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane)
(a natural form of Sulfur NOT sulpha)


Seems not everyone understands the benefits of this product, I find myself answering posts constantly about joint pains and MSM. SO here is the information incase anyone has missed any previous posts.

Sulfonyl sulfur, occurs naturally in ALL foods such as plants, meats, dairy products, high amounts are found especially in broccoli but most of its nutrients are lost in processing such as steaming, washing, and drying, hence why most people are deficient if this water soluble mineral. Taken with ascorbic acid (true Vit. C),will enhance absorbability

MSM is beneficial for,

#1 Sore Joints & Muscles*** inhibits muscle spasms, analgesic & anti-inflammatory, helps rebuild Synovial Fluid (lubrication and cushion in your joints)
#2 Wrinkles/Damaged Skin/Scar Tissue increases tissue flexibility, blood flow it helps rebuild soft tissue
#3 Diabetes helps regulate insulin levels…

Speeds wound healing and musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, acne, helps maintain liver health. Helps relieve headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, bursitis, muscle soreness, athletic injuries, back pain, allergies to foods & pollens.
You will also notice smoother skin, thicker hair, harder nails (in which will grow faster)
To achieve ANY of these results you must take it twice a day and consistently for atleast a month, and honestly, every single day then on.

I can testify to all of this, I myself have a torn rotator cuff and have dodged surgery for years.
I compete so I can not afford any downtime. A Few months ago (after I stopped taking MSM about a week) I couldn’t lift my shoulder laterally more than 6 inches! I started back on MSM and took about 9-12 Grams a day, and the pain was gone. Now don’t go and start with high doses, you WILL have diarrhea (because most people are deficient)
You have to understand I have been using this over a year now, and it is already in my system. I can not stress enough how beneficial this is for anyone and everyone! Especially body builders.

I could type information and research on this mineral, but it would take too much space.
If Anyone has ANY questions please feel free to PM me, and I will send you links or answer any questions pertaining to this mineral.

MAY I request a moderator to sticky this thread???

YJ is looking for some literature behind this. Som,etimes (not implying here), pertinent parts of articles are left out or ignored. It is always nice to "back" up our claims and post up the referenes we obtain articles from I would like to read some more literature on this subject as well so Badah-BUMP!!!

Reply » MSM (helps alleviate joint pain)

everytime i raise my shoulders laterally and bring them down they crack. do you think this would help stop the cracking + the pain? are there any harmful side effects? i don't do steroids or creatine or nothing, is it something like that, or is it a vitamin?
