This is proving to be a very exciting supplement with more and more potential benefits being attributed to what in our view is a marvellous product. Being a natural form of sulphur it can be readily absorbed by the body.

It is believed that sulphur helps to create healthy and flexible cells. Many books now have been devoted to the use of MSM and the array of potential benefits. People have taken MSM to aid with allergies, and as an aid to the painful symptoms of arthritis especially when taken in conjunction with Glucosamine. Especially interesting is the reports to us and that of our associates to the remarkable elastic effect it appears to have on the muscular structure. Personal reports are that people taking this supplement feel a lessening of tension and that they are able to stretch more effectively. Obviously this supplement is proving popular with the athletes amongst us.

Customers may find the books and booklets we stock on MSM a most useful addition to their Nutrition library (Highly recommended is the book 'MSM' The Natural Solution for Pain, by Stanley Jacob.)

MSM supplementation is proving more and more popular as people realise that much sulphur is lost in the food preparation process.

Sulphur helps keep hair glossy and smooth, nails strong and pliable, smooth complexion, and helps maintain connective body tissues.

Sulpur is needed to maintain cell membrane permeability, this is very important as it can aid with the delivery of important nutrients into the cell, and so that toxins and other waste products can exit. Consumers often start their MSM course with a body detoxification in mind. For detoxing larger amounts are used for the first week , then reducing to a daily maintenance dosage. Lack of suplhur can result in toxins not being transported from the cells as they should, and can result in these chemicals and foreign particles leading to allergic reactions, such as Asthma , headaches, and fatigue.

Energy, suphur is needed for thiamine and biotin, two components needed for normal carbohydrate metabolism. Sulphur also plays a large part in tissue respiration, the process where oxygen is needed to build new cells. Sulphur aids the immune system with inhibiting chemical carcinogens.

Structure, with sulphur being found in most tissues of the body such as skin, blood vessels, organs, hair and nails, it is required in the repair process of the body. Sulphur makes up the flexible disulphide bonds within the protein structure in tissues , providing elasticity and movement, perhaps this is why this supplement is now so popular with athletes, infirm and elderely. MSM contributes to the production of connective susbstances and muccopolysaccharides which keeps connective tissue intact, especially in load bearing areas such as joints. Researchers claim that MSM helps joint flexibility, reduces stiffness, swelling and pain, improves circulation, and breaks up calcium deposits in synovial fluid.

MSM now is the choice of many female consumers as it may help keep complexion youthful, nails pliable and strong, hair glossy and smooth, and the skin glowing possibly from circulation maintenance.

With MSM being regarded as one of the least toxic susbstances in Biology, in fact it has a toxiticy very close to that of water, consumers take MSM regularly to detox.

Bio-Support supplies MSM in Tablets for daily use and Bulk Tubs for the athletes or for detox purposes in powder form.
