MSM POWDER FROM NOW FOODS, ADVANCED JOINT SUPPORT FORMULA.
MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms. This natural compound, researched since 1979, provides the chemical links needed to form and maintain numerous different types of tissues found in the human body, including connective tissue such as articular cartilage. While MSM is a natural component of almost all fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat, food-processing methods reduce sulfur levels, making supplementation more important than ever. [POWDER]

MSM
A derivative of
DMSO
and is safer to use because it does not accumulate as rapidly in the body and does not have an offensive odour. As a source of organic
sulphur, MSM helps to build
protein, connective tissue, hormones and
enzymes. Its pain relieving activity is believed to be fourfold. Firstly it can reduce the transmission of pain signals along nerve fibers.
Secondly it increases blood flow to an area. Thirdly it reduces muscle spasms. And lastly, MSM stops the release of inflammatory compounds. MSM can also help the body to detoxify by supporting the functioning of the liver. MSM can be helpful for those individuals who have inflammatory conditions like arthritis,
lupus
and
interstitial cystitis, suffer from seasonal allergies, or have pain due to other health conditions.
MSM can be purchased as capsules or powder. Another name for MSM is DMSO2. It is combined with other anti-inflammatory agents in formulas for musculoskeletal health, allergies and pain relief. MSM is often added to creams and ointments for the healing of skin conditions and relief of joint pain.
Moisture and heat destroy the MSM content of foods and supplements. Take a
vitamin C
with your MSM to improve its effect. There is no known toxicity or side effects from MSM. The therapeutic effect of MSM may take 3 weeks to appear.
Joint Health
Your cartilageacts as a living shock absorber that cushions and protects your bones from damage during the daily stresses of living, working, and playing. But, unfortunately due to age or even injury, the human body is sometimes unable to regenerate damaged soft tissue fast enough to keep your cartilage, ligaments, and tendons supple and flexible.
The result can be pain and swelling.
The pain and swelling we know as arthritis occurs when these supporting tissues degenerate, allowing bone to rub against bone, which as anyone who has
osteoarthritis
will tell you, causes pain.
Osteoarthritis &
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It usually has a gradual onset and begins after the age of forty. The knees, hips, fingers and vertebrae are most susceptible. The joint deterioration is due to faulty or deficient repair of bone and cartilage in the joint. The standard North American diet is deficient in the minerals necessary for proper joint repair; therefore it is not surprising that osteoarthritis is a common concern. Osteoarthritis causes stiffness and joint pain on motion.
Rheumatoid arthritis is the second most common type of arthritis. It usually affects women between the ages of 25 and 50, however there is a juvenile form. The fingers and toes are usually the first to be affected. Other susceptible joints are the wrists, ankles, knees and spine. The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown but heredity does seem to play a role. Joint damage is due a faulty immune reaction in which the body attacks its own tissues.Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis come and go, joint destruction is variable and joint pain can move around the body. Attacks can be triggered by viral infections or stress.
