HOW DOES MSM-BODY HELP YOU?
Injuries and arthritis
MSM-Body helps relieve joint pain and stiffness. In fact, research shows that OptiMSM® protects against rheumatoid arthritis and can help reduce pain and physical inability in osteoarthritis.
Healing and repair
• Tissue maintenance. Sulphur is a mineral that contributes to connective tissue structure and repair. And MSM contains up to 34% sulphur by weight. More sulphur means more tissue repair. See the connection?
• Antioxidant protection. A study from the Department of Human Nutrition at Ohio State University showed that OptiMSM® led to an 80% increase in liver glutathione levels in mice. This is important because glutathione is an internal sulphur-containing antioxidant. So more glutathione means more power to fight free-radicals. The same study also showed that OptiMSM® helped prevent oxidative liver damage caused by toxic carbon tetrachloride.
Exercise and energy levels
MSM-Body helps your body make molehills out of mountains. It gives you more energy and helps increase stamina by providing methyl groups that can be “traded” with other molecules in the body’s energy-producing engine.
Respiratory function and allergies
Not to be sniffed at: OptiMSM® eases breathing and supports the respiratory system, especially in seasonal allergies.
HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?
MSM-Body is best taken with food and may cause insomnia if taken at bedtime. Build up your dose week by week, or consult your health care practitioner. Best taken with food. For added benefits, take MSM-Body with The Real Thing Joint Revolution.
