The
most effective nutraceutical for relieving pain associated with arthritis is MSM
(methylsulfonylmethane), a fancy name for organic sulfur. Sulfur is the eighth
most abundant element in the body, and it has a long history as a healing agent,
usually associated with the relief of pain throughout the neuromuscular and
skeletal systems.
Without sulfur, life as we know it would not
exist. Some of the essential functions that make sulfur possible for us to live
include maintaining the structure of the proteins of the body, helping in the
formation of keratin, which is essential for hair and nail growth, aiding in the
production of immunoglobulin, which maintains the normal immune system,
catalyzing the chemical reactions which change food into energy and neutralizing
or eliminating toxins from the body. (Sulfur is needed to create/hold the
molecular structure, particularly the sulfur amino acids: methionine, cysteine,
taurine.)
Currently, the main pharmacological therapy for
osteoarthritis is chronic NSAID used for pain management. These compounds can
have devastating effects on the gastrointestional tract and can also cause
kidney or liver failure in some people. MSM has been beneficial for many types
of pain and inflammatory conditions including:
- Degenerative arthritis
- Chronic back pain
- Chronic headaches
- Muscle Pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Carpel tunnel syndrome
- TMJ
- Post-traumatic pain and inflammation
- Allergies
We offer 100% MSM with Aulterra to
enhance bioavailability, and MSM/Ester C both in 90 and 180 veggie
capsule sizes. Ester C is the perfect compliment to the action of MSM since
Ester C has also proven to be beneficial for skeletal, muscular and capillary
integrity. MSM/Ester C is in a base of Grape Seed extract (95%
anthocyanidins), the most powerful antioxidant discovered. Grape Seed’s
benefits are also specific to muscles, joints and tendons.
