or taste. MSM is odorless and does not produce
intestinal gas or body odor which may occur with
other forms of sulfur. Methyl-Sulfonylmethane
(MSM) is neither a medicine nor a drug. it is a
member of the sulfur family but should never be
confused with sulfa drugs, to which some people
are allergic. MSM has been used as a dietary
supplement for several years, with no reports of
intolerance or allergic reaction. Acute,
intermediate, and long-term studies indicate that
MSM exhibits very low toxicity no matter how it is
administered. How low? its profile is similar to
that of water! Within limits, you cannot overdose
with MSM because the body will take and use
whatever it needs, and after a 12hour period, will
flush any excess amounts from the body. Methyl-Sulfonylmethane
(MSM) provides the body with the necessary raw
materials to create healthy new cells. Lacking
sufficient MSM, the body is a compromised system,
deficient in its ability to repair or replace
damaged tissue and organs. The inability of the
body to do its work causes it to produce
dysfunctional cells which can lead to illness and
disease. Click here for more info. Products:
