New Roots Herbal MSM - Methylsulfonylmethane - MSM, an organic sulfur found in all living organisms, is a nontoxic metabolite of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) that carries health and nutrition at biochemical levels. It also detoxifies and strengthens immunity, flexibility, and blood circulation. MSM plays many roles in the body, including exercising growth of healthy skin, hair, and nails. It is needed by the body for healthy connective tissues and joint function, proper enzyme activity, and hormone balance, along with the regulating of the immune system. The body uses MSM to create new beneficial healthy cells. Without proper levels of MSM, our body is unable to build good, healthy cells; this leads to illness. MSM has a volatile nature, and is quickly lost from food when it is processed, cooked, and/or stored. Today’s modern diet, of cooked and otherwise processed and diluted foods, often lacks this critically important nutrient.
