Auf dem heutigen Markt für gesundheitsfördernde Nahrungsergänzungsmittel gibt es eine Vielzahl von Produkten, die speziell zur Unterstützung der Gelenkgesundheit entwickelt wurden. Besonders ins Rampenlicht rückt dabei die organische Schwefelverbindung Methylsulfonylmethan, besser bekannt unter der Abkürzung MSM. Seine zunehmende Beliebtheit ist auf nachgewiesene Vorteile für Personen mit rheumatischen Beschwerden oder gelenkbezogenen Verletzungsfolgen zurückzuführen. Der in dieser Verbindung enthaltene organische Schwefel spielt eine zentrale Rolle in den Stoffwechselprozessen des Körpers: Er hemmt entzündliche Reaktionen, fördert die Regeneration von Knorpelgewebe und trägt zur Verbesserung der Gelenkfunktion bei. Betrachten wir daher genauer, welche therapeutischen und präventiven Eigenschaften dieser außergewöhnliche Wirkstoff bietet.
Manufacture from materials of any heading
Sulfur is responsible for maintaining the elasticity of the skin and blood vessels in good condition. It provides the cell walls with nutrient permeability and the ability to remove many toxins. Lack of this compound can lead to serious internal changes, a deficiency of sulfur in the human body can, among other things, reduce the absorption of elements such as calcium, magnesium, sodium or iron, and also contribute to the disruption of detoxification processes that are also necessary in removing toxins and accumulated pollutants from our body.
The properties of MSM
MSM has many valuable properties: it speeds up the repair of damaged tissues; it reduces pain and inflammation of the joints; it helps to heal the skin and reduce the likelihood of scarring; it acts as an antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory agent; it prevents hair loss and stimulates growth; it inhibits collagen destruction; it protects cells from entering and releasing heavy metals; it strengthens the intestinal mucosa and protects against entering proteins that cause blood clots to form in the body (genes); it enlarges blood vessels and increases blood flow; it preserves the elasticity of the walls and arteries and strengthens tissue structure.
MSM for joints
In the light of the above information, MSM is used in both the treatment and prevention of joint diseases. Methylsulfonylomethan reduces inflammation, pain, stiffness and swelling caused by arthritis or other disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Organic sulphur is primarily used in the manufacture of MSM supplements, and it is worth mentioning that it is obtained from lignin-containing pineapple juice.
MSM supplementation
The basic source of sulfur in the human body is two amino acids (methionine and cysteine) which must be supplied from food. We should not worry about the lack of this compound in our system with a properly targeted diet. Therefore, there is no rational justification for using such preparations for prophylactic purposes in most cases. If we want to prevent our joints, we should first of all take care of proper movement and nutrition. MSM can only be a helpful supplement for those with inflammatory joints.
MSM dosing
MSM supplement can be purchased in capsules as well as in powder. The recommended dosage by manufacturers is usually around 1500 mg. However, based on the available scientific studies, it is possible to take risks and increase the dose to up to 3 g per day. MSM is generally considered to be a safe supplement because side effects can be observed in individual cases, especially in people with the CBS gene mutation (β-synthesis).
