MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally-occurring bioactive form of sulfur that provides antioxidant activity and supports a healthy inflammation response. Sulfur is a component of bones, teeth, and collagen (the protein in connective tissue) and also helps you maintain a healthy inflammatory response in joint tissue. The mineral sulfur is needed for the manufacture of many proteins, including those forming hair, muscles, and skin. MSM is the third most abundant nutrient in your body and is found in highest concentration during infancy, and diminishes as we age. It is also present in whole fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and milk.
