MSM Sulfur
and Pain
MSM relieves
back pain, arthritis, carpel tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, among other ailments.
It does this by affecting your nervous system in the event of pain. As soon as
you’re in pain your nerves send signals to your brain that something is wrong.
MSM reduces pain by numbing the effectiveness of these signals. In addition to
reducing pain at its source it improves blood flow by dilating blood vessels
lessening muscle spasms, and tames inflammation.
MSM and
Allergies
If you
suffer from pain MSM can multitask by taking care of your allergies too. You
breathe easier while taking MSM to clear sinus headaches, pollen allergies, and
asthma. Many report fast relief in a few days. MSM sulfur does not prevent
histamine production instead it black histamine preventing common allergy
symptoms.
MSM, Hair
and Skin
MSM has been
reported to thicken hair, strengthen nails, and soften skin. Hair, skin, and
nails consist of collagen and keratin. The sulfur component of MSM increases
production of both proteins. For many women this is an exciting benefit. Longer
hair, youthful skin, and strong nails in one supplement is a package deal.
How to take
MSM
MSM can be
taken in multiple ways. The most common is in oral form by eating crystals or
in capsules substance. Preferably you would take MSM in distilled form for the
greatest purity. Crystallization is the next best choice if that is what you
can find and afford. In crystals, you’ll have other elements in addition to
MSM. In capsule
form there are 2-3 milligrams of MSM.
This is considered a modest amount but if you need more you can mix
crystals, which are bitter in taste, in water tea or juice. Lotions with
MSM are also available but some are more effective than others. For more
powerful solution grind MSM crystals and mix in your lotion and apply to the
skin.
Soaking in a
bath is one way many athletes find relief from the aches and pain of sports.
For a soak a few pounds of MSM and a tub of hot water can be enough to take
ease pain. You may need to experiment to see how much MSM you need to for
relief.
MSM Sounds like
a Cure All But…
There are
many more benefits to taking this supplement but don’t get carried away. If you
are in pain, it is recommended you see a doctor. During you visit discuss what
you’ve learned about MSM. It may not completely relieve you of your pain
permanently although some have said that their conditions have improved for
good. Take your time and further research MSM before taking it and when you do
consume small amounts to test what your body can handle. Hopefully, it will
improve your health as it has for many happy users.
