Why the body needs MSM?
Sulfur is an essential component of various compounds and biochemical processes in the body, and is necessary for the synthesis of collagen (skin and joints), immunoglobulin ( immune response) and enzymes. In the body, sulfur: * maintains cell membranes flexibility and permeability, promoting an efficient exchange of nutrients and waste products. When this system slows down, fluid around the cell is increased, the lymphatic system slows down, toxins build up and all sorts of degenerative disease develop. * Ensures connective tissue health and the formation of collagen. * Provides the body with raw materials needed to create new cells, to repair and replace damaged tissues and organs. As we age, this process speeds up. * Figures into energy production, as a component of insulin and a prerequisite for normal carbohydrate metabolism. The concentration of MSM is the body begins to decrease as we age, so deficiencies may occur in latter years. Sulfur deficiencies may occur in later years. S
