MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
When taken internally in tablet form,
MSM is gaining recognition for its ability
to synthesise collagen in the skin, hair,
nails, and also in bones, muscles and
organs. In addition, it will:
- Soften tissue
- Relieve stress, asthma, arthritis,
inflammation, constipation and candida
- Control stomach acidity and soothe
ulcers
- Relieve allergies to foods and
pollens
- Enhance
the body's ability to produce insulin
- Improve metabolism of carbohydrates
- Detoxify the body
- Increase blood circulation and speed
up wound healing
- Reduce muscle cramping and back pain
- Permit
muscles to heal
- Increase energy, mental calmness,
and ability to concentrate.
When applied to the body topically, it
will help to:
- Rehydrate the skin
- Repair damaged skin, and dissolve
scar tissue and surface blemishes
- Generate softer and more elastic
skin
- Soothe insect bites and stings
- Eliminate the inflammation of carpal
tunnel
- Prevent blistering and remove pain
from second degree burns
- Attack exterior fungal and yeast
infections
MSM - an odourless, white crystalline
molecule - is a natural form of organic
sulfur found in all living organisms, and
is present in low concentrations in our
body fluids and in the connective tissues
of the skin, nails, and hair. This sulfur
is necessary for collagen synthesis.
MSM is a natural component of many
fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and
meat, and is also found in tea, coffee,
chocolate and milk. In fact, one of the
richest sources of MSM in the diet of
mammals is milk.
MSM is also commonly
referred to as 'Nature's Beauty Mineral'!
MSM naturally scavenges free radicals,
relieves allergies to foods and pollens,
controls acidity in stomach and ulcers,
and helps the vitamins and minerals we
take in to nourish our bodies. It is an
all-natural product derived from sulfonyl,
an organic compound that grows naturally
in plants, animals, and in soil. Its
largest concentrations are found in pine
trees. Unlike sulfur,
MSM is completely
water-soluble and non-toxic. Large
concentrations have not been found to do
any harm to the human body.
It is estimated that the human body
uses up to about 1/8 teaspoon of
MSM each
day. This needs to be replaced on a
regular basis. Unless your diet is
comprised primarily of raw foods, it is
unlikely that you are receiving enough MSM
for proper health management. Although
MSM
is found in many fresh foods, modern
agricultural methods, food processing, and
cooking cause its depletion. When we
process our foods with heat or drying, we
lose most of the
MSM that is vital to our
wellbeing.
Don't' be confused! The Sulfonyl Sulfur
in
MSM is not Sulfa, Sulfite, or Sulfate -
all of which are harmful derivatives of
the Sulfur family. The body doesn't need
any of these.
- Sulfa is
used for burning and cauterising wounds.
- Sulfites are put in products like
cornflakes to prevent bug infestation.
- Sulfates are used as meat
preservatives.
We may be
allergic to Sulfa, Sulfite and Sulfate.
However, Sulfonyl is natural and
nutritional. You cannot be allergic to it.
Your body does need MSM!
A single use of
MSM is usually not very
effective. Noticeable results are usually
seen within 2-21 days. The amount of MSM
in each use is not critical, with uses
ranging from 150-5000 mg per day being
normal.
The benefits of
MSM are enhanced when
it is coupled with equal amounts of
Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C.
People with chronic to severe allergies
to environmental materials such as house
dust, pollen, wool, animal hair, feathers,
and other diverse allergens, have reported
substantial to complete relief of their
allergy symptoms usually 3-4 days after
beginning to take
MSM. Allergy symptoms
responding to
MSM ranged from respiratory
congestion to inflammation, itching, mucoid discharges, and general discomfort.
No. The only side effects are stronger
fingernails and toenails, and your hair
grows faster, because these all contain
more Sulfonyl Sulfur.
MSM is no more toxic than pure water.
Any excess
MSM in your system will stay in
the blood stream for 12 hours, removing
toxins and cleaning the interior walls of
your arteries. You cannot overdose on
MSM.
Your body will use only what it needs.
One in five people taking
MSM may
experience detoxification symptoms in the
first 1-10 days,
during which toxins are flushed from the
system. Symptoms may include diarrhoea,
skin rash, and/or possibly headache, along
with several days of fatigue. In general,
the more intense the symptoms, the more
toxins there are in your body, and the
more
MSM is needed to help detoxification.
To ease detoxification symptoms, reduce
your dose rate to about 750mg, and
gradually build back up to the recommended
dose of one 1200mg tablet per 27kg of body
weight twice per day.
Otherwise, for maximum benefit from
MSM, it's recommended that you use it
indefinitely for maximum results. After
initial detoxification, physical energy
levels should increase noticeably.
There are no negative side effects from
applying
Rich's MSM Lotion to the skin.
Two reasons: Firstly, all
MSM products
in the Rich range are produced by
distillation to ensure highest quality.
Most other
MSM product brands use
MSM that
has been produced by precipitation, which
is an inferior process. Secondly, all Rich
MSM products in the Rich range carry a
100%
MSM purity guarantee.
Currently you are able to buy pure
MSM
1200mg tablets, and a range of
MSM
Lotions. We are able to order additional
MSM products for you on request, and plan
to expand our range over the coming year.
Unlike many other skin lotions, only
natural ingredients are used in
Rich's MSM Lotions. These lotions contain no
lanolin or paraffin, and leave your skin
smooth and
supple, with no signs of greasiness.
No perfumes are added to
Rich's MSM
Lotions. All fragrances have been produced
naturally, the process taking anything
from 2-5 years. For example, it took five
years to create
the delicious, spicy fragrance for the top
selling lotion, Vanilla.
Finally, and most importantly,
Rich's
MSM Lotions are unequalled in quality and
purity because they contain 17%
MSM,
produced through distillation to ensure
the highest quality. Most other commercial
products use
MSM produced by
precipitation, an inferior process.
