Stop hurting. Start living.
MSM (MethylSulfonylMethane) is a fancy name for organic sulfur. Sulfur, the eighth most abundant element in the human body, has a long history as a healing agent. For centuries, mankind has soaked in sulfur-rich, mineral hot springs to help heal a variety of ailments. Throughout the years science has identified sulfur as a vital component in essential biological functions including:
- Facilitating nutrient exchange through the cellular membrane.
- Maintaining structure of proteins in the body.
- Aiding in the production of immunoglobulin that maintain the immune system.
- Catalyzing the chemical reactions that convert food into energy.
- Helping the formation of keratin, which is essential for soft tissue, bone, hair and nail growth.
Sulfur deficiencies can lead to a variety of tissue ailments. MSM is a safe and easy way to insure your body receives the proper sulfur levels necessary for good health.
How Does MSM Work?
While not all of the physiology is precisely understood, it is known that MSM facilitates Methionine metabolism. This essential sulfur amino acid is important for RNA and DNA formation as well as liver production of beneficial amino acids and antioxidants that help regulate body function. In some instances, individuals may be at risk of deficiency. Persons with rheumatic conditions, persons on chemotherapy, endurance athletes and alcoholics are very susceptible to this condition, as the body is forced to metabolize high levels of Methionine to help regulate toxins and catabolic turnover. When an individual becomes sulfur deficient the body no longer exchanges nutrients or metabolizes Methionine as efficiently as it should.
In many cases the first tissues to respond negatively to this condition are the a-vasculars; (tendons and ligaments) Symptoms of this condition may present itself as an inflammatory response, loss of flexibility or general stiffness, in severe cases, effusion may be evident around the joint capsule. MSM has gained the reputation as an anti-inflammatory for its ability to help alleviate these symptoms. It is important to note that MSM facilitates your body’s natural processes and does not act as a cortical steroid or NSAID. MSM is a nutritional supplement that supplies biologically-active sulfur that helps your body function properly.
Recommended Dosing: 1000 milligrams with each meal
MSM and the Horse
Your horse derives a great deal of organic sulfur form the environment. MSM can be found naturally in a variety of forages including grasses, legumes, weeds, leaves and water sources. Under optimal conditions your horse will derive all the necessary sulfur from pasture and water. However as we have domesticated this range animal, many horses no longer have access to natural sulfur sources and may become deficient.
Good examples of this are horses without adequate pasture, horses in stable settings, lack of adequately sulfated water sources (you can have you water tested for sulfur content free of charge at most agricultural departments) and those involved in athleticism. Symptoms of this condition may present itself as general stiffness, joint cracking, a change in gate or in severe cases, effusion around the joint capsule. If your horse falls into the above risk categories or exhibits some of the aforementioned symptoms, MSM is an easy to use and effective supplement.
Recommended Dosing: 20,000 milligrams per day
MSM and the Dog
Sulfur deficiencies are very rare in carnivores, and in most instances supplementation is not necessary. The majority of standard dog foods are rich in organic sulfur from protein and readily available to your dog with each meal. In certain instances MSM will be used beneficially for dogs suffering from autoimmune problems or those with chronic dermatitis. While very safe and non-toxic It is recommended that you consult with your Veterinarian prior to introducing MSM into your dogs regimen.
What Is Lignisul MSM?
MSM is a naturally - occurring sulfur compound found in many common foods, including meat, fish, eggs and dairy as well as vegetable sources, broccoli, garlic, avocado and other green vegetables. In its purified form, it is an odorless, white, water-soluble crystalline solid. It is one of the least toxic substances in biology, similar in toxicity to water. Naturally - occurring sulfur, such as that found in Lignisul MSM, is not similar to inorganic sulfides, sulfites and sulfates to which many people are allergic.
