The Real Thing MSM-Body 90 Capsules
What? It's a construction worker - methylsulphonylmethane, or MSM for short. It's a form of organic sulphur that occurs naturally in the body and plays a role in the natural process of tissue repair.
What else? More MSM means the body has more fuel for in-house mending and maintenance. It helps repair the tiny muscle tears caused by exercise and can help in the healing of damaged cartilage, tendons, ligaments, skin, or any other connective tissue.
HOW DOES MSM-BODY HELP YOU?
Injuries and arthritis
MSM-Body helps relieve joint pain and stiffness. In fact, research shows that OptiMSM protects against rheumatoid arthritis and can help reduce pain and physical inability in osteoarthritis.
- More mobility, less pain. A study by the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Science in Arizona showed that after 30 days on OptiMSM, patients with osteoarthritis in the knee experienced significantly less pain and more mobility than those who didn't take the MSM.
- Less cartilage damage. Two studies from the UCSD Department of Orthopaedic Surgery published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage showed that OptiMSM limits the release of inflammation-fuelling molecules and reduces the presence of destructive enzymes in osteoarthritic cartilage cells.
- Less inflammation. OptiMSM can help to hold back joint pain by reducing inflammation and preserving the joint cartilage in mice with osteoarthritis of the knee.
Healing and repair
- Tissue maintenance. Sulphur is a mineral that contributes to connective tissue structure and repair. And MSM contains up to 34% sulphur by weight. More sulphur means more tissue repair. See the connection?
- Antioxidant protection. A study from the Department of Human Nutrition at Ohio State University showed that OptiMSM led to an 80% increase in liver glutathione levels in mice. This is important because glutathione is an internal sulphur-containing antioxidant. So more glutathione means more power to fight free-radicals. The same study also showed that OptiMSM helped prevent oxidative liver damage caused by toxic carbon tetrachloride.
