MSM Benefits the Entire Body

In a time when we are so accustomed to looking for additives, preservatives, and chemicals in our foods, most of us have adopted a rule for opting out certain foods. The general rule is “if you can’t say it, don’t eat it”. However, a few long and hard-to-pronounce words slip in that are actually extremely beneficial. Methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, is a prime example. MSM is an organosulfur compound that occurs naturally in some plants and is clinically proven to improve joint health. This is especially important for athletes, those who suffer from arthritis or inflammation, and the elderly.

MSM Benefits at a Glance
• a key to healthy connective tissue
• reduces inflammation
• great for athletic performance and injury recovery
• improves joint health and relives pain
• great for skin, hair, nails and cartilage
• sulfur helps muscles heal after a workout
• anti-aging

MSM contains a lot of sulfur – 34% by weight. MSM helps maintain connective tissues (through disulfide bonding) therefore strengthening the joints in the body. Cartilage integrity is directly affected by sulfur as well, with sulfur making the cartilage firm and resilient. This is particularly valuable to those with Osteoarthritis, some 40 million Americans, because MSM has anti-inflammatory properties and strengthens the integrity of joints and cartilage.

MSM has also been tested as a resolution to seasonal allergies and snoring! You can purchase MSM in tablet of powder form, lotions and shampoos, and even drops to add to water! There are over 14 products at Plum Blossom dedicated to MSM and its health benefits.

For athletes and those with arthritis, the MSM powder is great to add to a smoothie and get the immediate bioavailable properties of MSM. For fantastic skin care, we have MSM body lotion in five fragrances and shampoo and conditioner with essential oils. MSM face wash is a great product for those with any skin irritation or inflammation, including acne and rosacea.

Plum Blossom Wellness offers more than a dozen MSM products, both internal and external. My personal favorite is the MSM body lotion in Orange Ylang Ylang, and the Old Fashioned Peppermint Liniment. Try the MSM powder as a great value!
