Recently it was discovered that MSM provides the sulfur needed for many of the body’s metabolic reactions, including sulfation, which is the process of adding sulfur to molecule. MSM allows more of the sulfur-containing and essential amino acid, methionine, to be used for synthesis of proteins and other important molecules rather than as a source of sulfur. This all points to yet another health benefit of MSM and an additional reason to supplement the diet with this ample source of sulfur. Thanks Natural Products Insider for featuring us.
