MSM Helps Keep Skin, Hair and Nails Healthy

Best MSM supplies pure crystalline MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), a naturally-occuring source of organic sulfur that is easily absorbed and used by the body. Taken up from the soil by plants, MSM found in foods is largely lost during food processing, storage and cooking. MSM supports organ and joint function by donating sulfur for maintenance of healthy connective tissue. MSM helps keep skin, hair and nails healthy by donating sulfur for products of keratin, a fibrous protein. 

Ingredients:
Best MSM and Best MSM Powder contain pure MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), a white crystalline substance that occurs in the human body and in some foods. MSM is an excellent dietary source of bioavailable organic sulfur.

Why the Human Body Needs MSM:
MSM occurs naturally in the blood, body fluids and tissues. It is now believed that a minimum MSM concentration of 0.2 parts per million is necessary for the body to function normally. MSM may be the most easily absorbed and nontoxic source of nutritional sulfur occurring in nature. Sulfur is a structural mineral that maintains the strength of various tissues by forming sulfur "tie-bars" (sulfhydryl bonds) between connective tissue proteins. MSM serves as a readily available source of sulfur for this function, and thus helps maintain the pliancy of tissues and cell membranes. Repair of damaged tissue depends upon a supply of sulfur for the continuation of reactions involving sulfhydryl groups (SH). Sulfur is required for the maintenance of healthy hair, skin and nails. In view of the presence of MSM in biological systems since the beginning of evolution, it is logical to assume that all higher life forms, including humans and animals, are well adapted to use MSM as a sulfur donor.
