msm, sulfur, tendons, bones, ligaments, cartilage, joints, pain, arthritis Why Use MSM Plus?

MSM is a form of sulfur used by your body to support growth and maintenance of the connective tissue in your body such as cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bones. It is found in many foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, milk, eggs, and lean meat. Processing, heat and long term storage can diminish the amount of MSM contained in these foods or even cause it to disappear altogether. Although you may be eating a well-balanced diet, you may need additional supplementation of MSM to ensure that you are maintaining a sufficient amount of it for use by your body. Not only does MSM support your joints and connective tissue, it also supports your immune system and just about every other part of your body. MSM Plus comes in three convenient forms - tablets, crystals, and a moisturizing lotion that allows you to apply it topically if you desire.

What Is MSM Plus?

MSM (methylsufonylmethane) is organic sulfur in its natural form. Your body uses this form of sulfur to help form glycosaminoglycans or GAGs. The GAGs are spongy molecules that hold water to provide lubrication to the joints and act as “shock absorbers.” GAGs are the basic substrate of cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bones. During the day, connective tissue is constantly being broken down and replaced so there is a constant need for adequate supplies of sulfur. The GAG chains not only fill the spaces between our cells, they allow the transmission of nutrients, hormones, and metabolites between the blood and tissue cells. Life Plus uses only high-grade MSM material that is manufactured according to the patented process of the scientists who initially studied the value of MSM to support overall health. Since MSM is heat sensitive, it is important that not only the initial raw material is properly handled and processed, but that the manufacturer of the ultimate supplement must also use care in processing to ensure that you are receiving the full nutritional value of the supplement. Life Plus carefully monitors the manufacturing of MSM to ensure that it retains its nutritional value when it reaches you in its final form.

MSM has more recently become used as a dietary supplement because of the outgrowth of research on the well-known substance DMSO by Dr. Stanley W. Jacob. He is the leading authority on MSM and director of the DMSO Clinic and professor of surgery at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. He learned that MSM was a stable metabolite of DMSO, odorless and a very efficient method for supplementation. Actually, MSM is equivalent to DMSO but contains an additional atom of oxygen, so it is actually DMSO2.

Dr. Jacobs is an expert in the field of DMSO and MSM. In his book, he indicates that the common reaction might be gastrointestinal disturbance (or rash in the most rare case) and suggests that if it creates a problem, to suspend dose and try again with smaller amount in a few days. It is commonly used for people with allergies of all types. It is NOT at all related to a Sulfa drugs or Sulfites.

MSM Use
Many uses for MSM are relayed in Dr. Jacob's book. One of those mentioned in the book relates to Scar Tissue. The book states, "MSM does not eliminate scarring, but it helps, and even many years after the formation of a scar, it may alter scar tissue in a positive manner." The book says, "MSM's ability to reduce scars occurs both externally and internally." It is also stated that, "MSM acts before and after procedures to minimize the amount of scar tissue."

His Book is Recommended Reading. Authors include: Dr. Jacob, Dr. Lawrence, and Martin Zucker

As a dietary supplement, MSM Plus represents a highly bioavailable source of sulfur, a mineral element critical to the normal function and structure of the body. This mineral is needed for the manufacture of many proteins rich in sulfur containing amino acids, including collagen, the primary protein of connective tissue, skin, hair, bones, and teeth, and insulin. Sulfur is also a component of bile acids, and therefore contributes to fat digestion and absorption.

Additional Lifestyle Options to Ensure Health
As part of your overall health routine, you should eat a nutritious balanced diet, exercise and drink plenty of water. Another product you may wish to try and that is an ideal companion to MSM Plus is Lyprinex™ to provide additional support to your joints and connective tissue.*
