Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), also known as dimethyl sulphone, is a natural organic sulfur compound contained in plant and animal tissues and essential for maintaining the health of the body. Sulfur, in its turn, is an important component of proteins, tissues, hormones and enzymes. It also takes part in liver detoxification. Due to its analgesic properties, as well as the ability to stimulate blood flow and reduce inflammatory processes, MSM can be used to relieve the pain caused by a large number of different diseases. MSM is contained in fresh fish, meat, fruits and milk, but even a little treatment leads to its complete destruction. Therefore, many people take MSM as a food additive. Considering that sulfur is an essential mineral for the human body, scientists believe that people need constant use of MSM to maintain their health.
