MSM serves as an important source of bioavailable dietary sulfur, an element that plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and elasticity of connective and other tissues. It is an important component of proteins found throughout the body, such as in hair, nails, skin and tendons.
MSM is a compound found naturally in certain foods, including vegetables, meat and dairy products.
MSM taken by itself has anti-inflammatory properties and reducing inflammation can help to manage chronic conditions such as arthritis, swelling and joint pain.
