Introduction
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH3)2SO2. It is also known by several other names including DMSO2, methyl sulfone, and dimethyl sulfone.[1] This colorless solid features the sulfonyl functional group and is considered relatively inert chemically. It occurs naturally in some primitive plants, is present in small amounts in many foods and beverages, and is marketed as a dietary supplement.
Usage
1.Helps to maintain the structure of the proteins in the body
2.Helps in the formation of keratin which is essential for hair and nail growth
3.Aids in the production of immunoglobulin which maintains the immune system
4.Catalyzes the chemical reactions, which change food into energy.
5.Inhibit pain impulses along nerve fibers (analgesia)
6.Lessen inflammation
7.Increase blood supply

5.Methylsulfonylmethane(MSM) Benefits:
Relieving pain and inflammation in muscles and joints
Improvement of joint flexibility
Reducing stiffness and swelling, improving of circulation
Reducing pain in systemic inflammatory disorders such as arthritis
Reducing scar tissue, and breaking up calcium deposits
6.Function:
1.MSM is a relatively new dietary supplement form of sulfur that is found in our living tissues.
2.MSM supports healthy connective tissues like tendons, ligaments, and muscle. Thus, it is important in conditions such as arthritis, muscle pains, bursitis, etc.
3.MSM should be considered an integral part of any health care practice because of its physiological action, indirect importance, and current / future uses.
