MSM is a naturally occurring, easily-absorbed, source of dietary sulphur, without the distinctive smell normally associated with sulphur compounds.

Sulphur has long been known to help maintain the condition of skin, hair, and nails. It is a key component of chondroitin sulphate, an essential building block for the connective tissues, such as blood vessels, eyes, and cartilage, which acts as shock absorbers in the joints. Sulphur maintains flexibility and elasticity in the soft tissues and is a precursor to glucosamine, which helps to rebuild cartilage and ligament tissue.

Sulphur is needed for proper liver function and is essential for the production of glutathione, an important detoxifiying enzyme. Sulphur supports the detoxification and elimination of heavy metals from the body. Sulphur is required for hormone synthesis and enzyme production, and has a healing influence on the mucous membranes lining the gastro-intestinal tract. It also alkalises the body, helping keep the immune system strong.
