Jarrow Formulas Msm 750mg (200 Caps) (1 Bottle)

Jarrow Formulas’ Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM) is a rich, source of organic bioavailable sulfur, an antioxidant mineral found in the major structural molecules in the body. The sulfur from MSM is used to produce glycosaminoglycans (or mucopolysaccharides) such as chondroitin sulfate, dermantan sulfate and hyaluronic acid which is part of joint fluid. Sulfur enhances the structural integrity of these glycosaminoglycans found in high concentration in connective tissue, including joint cartilage, skin and hair.

MSM is a form of sulfur used by your body to support growth and maintenance of the connective tissue in your body such as:

• Cartilage
• Ligaments
• Tendons 
• Bones

MSM found in many foods such as:

• Fresh fruits
• Vegetables,
• Grains
• Milk
• Eggs 
• Lean Meat

Processing, heat and long term storage can diminish the amount of MSM contained in these foods or even cause it to disappear altogether. Although you may be eating a well-balanced diet, you may need additional supplementation of MSM to ensure that you are maintaining a sufficient amount of it for use by your body. Not only does MSM support your joints and connective tissue, it also supports your immune system and just about every other part of your body. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is organic sulfur in its natural form. Your body uses this form of sulfur to help form glycosaminoglycans or GAGs. The GAGs are spongy molecules that hold water to provide lubrication to the joints and act as “shock absorbers.” GAGs are the basic substrate of cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bones. During the day, connective tissue is constantly being broken down and replaced so there is a constant need for adequate supplies of sulfur. The GAG chains not only fill the spaces between our cells, they allow the transmission of nutrients, hormones, and metabolites between the blood and tissue cells. MSM is a metabolite of DMSO, the famous garlic-oyster smelling substance introduced into medicine by the pioneering work of Stanley Jacob M.D. DMSO is derived from plant lignans and has been the subject of more than 55,000 scientific studies worldwide. When DMSO enters the human body, about 15% of it is transformed into MSM by the addition of one oxygen molecule. MSM derived from DMSO has been found to remain in the body for up to 2 weeks. Unlike DMSO, MSM has no odor. Like DMSO, MSM may be an antioxidant with a potent ability to neutralize hydroxyl free radicals within cells, and it does pass freely through cell membranes. Although very few controlled scientific studies have been done with MSM, word of mouth has made it a very popular dietary supplement. According to Dr. Stanley Jacob, MSM seemed to support range of motion in joints.
