MSM or also known as methylsulfonylmethane is an organic compound that is synthesized to be used as a supplement. By nature, it is found in small amounts within grains, fruits, and vegetables. MSM found in the powders and supplements is water soluble and an odorless compound, which delivers elemental sulfur to one’s body.
Sulfur is important for various bodily functions. The body uses sulfur to synthesizer critical chemicals, repair or form connective tissues, help the digestive system absorb some nutrients from the foods, and metabolize particular foods.
However, getting enough sulfur from your diet can be challenging for some reasons. One of these is the modern diet lacks vegetables and fresh fruits, which contain naturally-occurring sulfur. Another reason is that the soil where produce is grown has reduced natural sulfur that limits the amount of the available sulfur for the plants to absorb while growing in the ground. Cooking may destroy the sulfur that is found in the produce today. It ensures that diet alone is not enough as a source of sulfur.
