Our joints are marvelous creations that take a lot of pounding and wear.
Unfortunately as the body ages, so do the joints. Precious joint fluids that keep bone from rubbing against bone can begin
to diminish. Inflamed cartilages, ligaments and tendons become chronically inflamed, making joints stiff with unbearable pain.
MSM helps rebuild the cushioning fluid (synovial fluid) that protects the joint from pressure and friction.
What is MSM?
MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane) is a white odorless powder. A relatively small molecule it is composed of sulfur, carbon, oxygen
and hydrogen. Although chemically related to DMSO, MSM is more stable and does not have the unpleasant odor associated with
DMSO.
MSM keeps cells from becoming rigid, softens tissue, and detoxifies inflamed areas within the joints. MSM also provides the
chemical bonds that actually hold the molecular structure of your joints together. And, MSM all the while, provides remarkable
relief from misery. (Herschler 1986).
Why do People Use MSM?
"Of MSMs many healthful applications the most enthusiastically received is its ability to alleviate joint problems--even low
doses" (Earl Mindell 1977)
In The MSM Miracle, Earl Mindell cites "people with joint severities report substantial and long lasting relief while supplementing
MSM in their diet with daily dosages from 100mg to as high as 5,000 mg."
Coburn took a teaspoon and a half of the powdered MSM twice a day. "Once in the morning, once in the evening." Three days
later, the pain diminished so that he could move again. Important: Coburn suggests taking MSM in the amount you find exactly
right for your own body.
