MSM, a biological sulfur, plays a critical role in the body. Sulfur is a major ingredient of several amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, which are the structural material for muscles, bones, cartilage, connective tissue, and other tissues of the body. It is also a component of the B vitamins that are essential for energy production. Sulfur is also a natural pain reliever without side effects. It is especially useful for chronic pain conditions, including arthritis, back pain, headaches, muscle pain, fibromyalgia, tendinitis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and TMJ. It has potent anti-inflamatory action and reduces scar tissue by altering the cross-linking in collagen which contributes to scar formation. Together these mechanisms provide dramatic improvement in pain You can get sulfur from food but it isn't easy. Storage, processing and cooking deplete stores of this mineral. To regain optimal levels, the minimum maintenance dose should be 1000 mg daily in divided doses but many use 3000 to 10,000 daily.
