MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
Pill Uses
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) has been used for pain and swelling of muscles and joints. MSM is an excellent dietary source of bioavailable organic sulfur.
How Taken Drug
As a dietary supplement, take one to two tablets daily.
Drug Class and Mechanism Action
Sulfur is a structural mineral that maintains the strength of various tissues by forming sulfur "tie-bars" (sulfhydryl bonds) between connective tissue proteins. MSM serves as a readily available source of sulfur for this function, and thus helps maintain the pliancy of tissues and cell membranes. Repair of damaged tissue depends upon a supply of sulfur for continuation of reactions involving sulfhydryl groups (-SH). Sulfur is required for the maintenance of healthy hair, skin and nails. In view of the presence of MSM in biological systems since the beginning of evolution, it is logical to assume that all higher life forms, including humans and animals, are well adapted to use MSM as a sulfur donor.
Missed Dose Drug
If you miss a dose of MSM, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Storage Drug
Store MSM at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep MSM out of the reach of children and away from pets.
