MSM – the forgotten nutrient

Methylsulfonylmethane – also known as dimethylsulfone, this is MSM. A natural sulphur compound that can provide our body with a good supply of this valuable nutrient. Most people are not aware that this is not only good and supplementary, but also advisable and important. This is because sulphur is a nutrient that has been virtually ignored in nutritional science until now. Strange, actually! After all, our body consists of 0.2 percent sulphur. For those who now think this figure is low: our body contains five times more sulphur than magnesium and forty times more sulphur than iron. And anyone who has studied health is well aware of the importance of magnesium and iron for the body. As sulphur is found in such large quantities in the body, it is also quite clear that the effects of ingestion and the symptoms of a deficiency are extremely wide-ranging.

Where does the body need sulphur?

1. sulphur is a component of many of the body’s own substances, such as enzymes, hormones and many vital amino acids.

One important hormone is glutathione, an important antioxidant, i.e. a fighter against free radicals. Without sulphur, the hormone cannot be produced and the body suffers from oxidative stress. The immune system also has to work harder, the body is weakened and more susceptible to disease. Our body’s own protein is also made up of sulphur-containing amino acids, as the “sulphur bridges” determine the structure of all proteins and enzymes. Without these bridges, they cannot fulfill their original functions; they are still formed, but are biologically inactive.

2. MSM strengthens the immune system

As already indicated, the body is weakened and stressed without sulphur. In addition, the function of the amino acid methionine, just like glutathione, is dependent on the presence of sulphur. Without methionine, selenium can no longer get to where it is needed. A selenium deficiency is no laughing matter: Selenium is important for immune defense, infections, inflammation and so-called wear and tear occur, all of which would not occur at all with a healthy immune system. Selenium itself is also a component of many enzymes that control important processes in the body. For example, selenium is involved in the production of thyroid hormones and sperm. As we can see, a deficiency of a single substance in the body never has a single effect. The result is more like an avalanche that brings with it many other symptoms and problems that cause and reinforce each other.

3) MSM also has an effect on allergies

It was long assumed that even allergies are triggered by a weak immune system. Today, however, it is known that a dysregulation of the body’s own defenses is responsible. MSM can also be helpful in this case. A study by an American research team from the GENESIS Center for Integrative Medicine involved 50 test subjects who were given 2,600 mg of MSM daily for 30 days. By the seventh day, the typical allergy symptoms of the upper respiratory tract had already improved significantly. In the third week, the symptoms of the lower respiratory tract had also improved considerably. The patients also noticed an increase in their energy levels from the second week onwards.

4. sulphur for beauty

The production of collagen, elastin and keratin also requires sulphur, as you might have guessed. In other words: without sulphur, no beautiful skin, no healthy fingernails but brittle hair. Without collagen and elastin, the skin loses elasticity and fingernails and hair become brittle and brittle without keratin, because keratin is the protein they are made of. If the deficiency is compensated for, the body can regenerate, hair and fingernails grow back healthy and strong and the skin can also recover. Of course, there are many other effects that you can read about if you are interested.
