Over all the products I’ve used in my lifetime, none have had the effect on my mental and physical well-being that Pure MSM has.  When I tell people about this product, I am met with confusion, as alot of the general population has not heard of this item.  And I was too, when I was first introduced to it by a co-worker back in 2016.  So before we continue, let’s identify what MSM is.

“MSM” stands for Methylsulfonylmethane.  In layman’s terms, it is a source of natural sulfur which is also found in foods such as fresh vegetables, meat, and dairy products.  However, it’s quickly lost during the cooking process.  So this turns out to be a valuable nutrient that many people are not getting the recommended daily intake of.  So as we age, along with a diet deficient in essential nutrients, our bodies become stiff, our cells become rigid, and our overall energy begins to rapidly decelerate.  So how can Pure MSM help?  Well there is a vast range of benefits that come along in taking this supplement.

1. 1. Naturally Increases energy AND Accelerates Healing –  MSM increases the absorption of nutrients so that the energy expenditure on digestion is vastly reduced.  Due to the increased permeability of the cells, characterized by the capacity of a blood vessel wall to allow for the flow of small molecules (drugs, nutrients, water, ions) or even whole cells (lymphocytes on their way to the site of inflammation) less energy is required to deal with the accumulation of toxins.  This results in more energy being redirected towards activity and necessary healing.
   2. Anti-inflammatory –MSM is a powerful anti-inflammatory due to its ability to allow metabolic wastes to be removed from the cells.  Excess weight on the body is actually inflammation.  The cells of the body are chronically inflamed and retaining the byproducts of metabolic processes.  Sulfur needs to be present in order for these toxins and wastes to be removed from the body.  When these byproducts can be removed from the system, then the cells can also dispose of excess fluids that were being stored as a buffer.  What results is a natural and effective reduction in unwanted weight.
   3. Detoxifies the body – Sulfur  detoxifies the body at a cellular level and helps relieve pain.  This is one of the most important features of MSM is that it makes your cells more permeable (refer to the first point).  This means that it allows toxins and metabolic waste products to easily be moved out of the cells, while essential nutrients and hydration can be moved in.  It’s a calcium phosphate dissolver, so it has a remarkable ability to break up the bad calcium build up in bones and joints, that’s at the root of degenerative diseases.
   4.  Improves flexibility – Sulfur assumes a part as a crucial segment in building different sorts of tissue incorporating cartilage and joints.  It aides in bone and joint health and it helps to produce flexible skin and muscle tissue.
   5. Sulfur is needed for insulin production –Insulin controls carbohydrate metabolism, but insufficient sulfur makes it harder for the pancreas to produce enough insulin, and makes cells less able to absorb things from the blood, contributing to blood sugar problems.
   6. Improves Skin Complexion, Hair and Nails – MSM is necessary for collagen and keratin production, which are important for the development of healthy skin, hair and nails. Consistent use of MSM over the course of a few weeks can normalize collagen and keratin formation to increase the production of new healthy tissues that see strengthening, flexibility and thickness of the skin hair and nails.

How Has Pure MSM Helped Me?

When I first started taking MSM I opted for the powder for, (seen in the picture). Let me tell you, when I first tasted this, I spat it out. It was DISGUSTING. But, with doing research in it’s benefits, I opted to keep taking it. The taste got easier to swallow the more I got used to it, and after the first few weeks I started to notice the benefits.

The biggest benefit for me was noticed in my muscle extensibility and joint flexibility. Movements I had previously found painful or hard to achieve started to become more possible with the same amount of consistent focus I was putting into my routine as before when I wasn’t taking MSM. And with the increased ROM, my lifts became easier, special calesthenics moves became more doable and I wasn’t becoming as fatigued in the next 48hrs as I was before. I had noticed that my nutrition was severely lacking in sulfur intake. So this became a staple supplement in my everyday regimen.

The only negative thing I noticed was that it wasn’t really making my hair any thicker. But that is also due to the fact that hair loss runs in my family, so overall I wasn’t too fussed about that.

I HIGHLY suggest that everyone try this supplement for at least 2 weeks to see if it can help them as well as it helped me. Even though it tastes bad, I’m sticking with the powder form, but it can also be taken with orange juice to ease the taste and increase absorption. It can also be found in pill and cream form and is very affordable at any supplement store.
