MSM information
Fast Acting Lignisul MSM® 1500 mg (200 tablets) Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, and Molybdenum (60 capsules)
This "Fast Acting" MSM is specially formulated to meet or exceed USP standards for disintegration. MSM is a biologically active form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms. It is naturally found in varying amounts in raw unprocessed milk, meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables.
MSM is a nutritional supplement that is rapidly establishing a reputation as a safe, natural, and effective solution for many types of pain and inflammatory conditions, including:
| • Degenerative Arthritis • Chronic back pain • Chronic headache • Muscle pain • Fibromyalgia |
• Tendinitis and bursitis • Carpal tunnel syndrome • TMJ • Post-traumatic pain and inflammation • Allergies |
MSM is a naturally-occurring sulfur compound found in our bodies as well as in many common beverages and foods, including milk, coffee, tea and green vegetables. In its purified form, it is an oderless, white, water soluble crystalline solid. It is on of the least toxic substances in biology, similar in toxicity to water.
Naturally-occurring sulfur, such as that found in Lignisul MSM, is not similar to inorganic sulfides, sulfites, and sulfates to which many people are allergic.
Some of sulfur's essential functions include maintaining structure of the proteins in the body, helping the formation of keratin which is essential for hair and nail growth, aiding in the production of immunoglobulin which maintains the immune system, and catalyzing the chemical reactions which change food into energy.
Health Benefits
Many years of clinical use have demonstrated that lignisul MSM delivers the following pain relief and anti-inflammatory benefits without serious side effects:
• Inhibition of pain impulses along nerve fibers (analgesia) • Lessening of inflammation • Increase in blood supply • Reduction of muscle spasm • Softening of scar tissue
Lignisul MSM is often so effective for pain relief that doctors are able to lower the dosage of medication they prescribe for patients. The end result is relief, along with fewer side effects that are frequently caused by prescriptive medications.
Greenville, PA--A recent preliminary study showed that people suffering from sprains, strains, and athletic injuries may benefit from the use of LIGNISUL MSM, a naturally-based nutritional supplement that supplies biologically-active sulfur.
The Double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 24 patients (both male and female), showed that those taking Lignisul MSM had a level of significant recovery (58.3%) compared to those on placebo (33.3%). In addition, patients on Lignisul had 40% fewer office visits before recovery.
"Lignisul (MSM) should be considered an invaluable addition for the treatment of short-term athletic injuries of the type that were involved in this study," said Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D., and assistant clinical professor of the UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles.
A recent, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot trial, performed by Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D., showed that 100% of the subjects on Lignisul MSM showed increased hair growth compared to the group on placebo. Only one subject on placebo showed and increase in hair length. In addition, 30% of the subjects on Lignisul showed improvement in hair brilliance, while none of the subjects on placebo showed such an improvement.
A second double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot trial conducted simultaneously, showed that 50% of the subjects on Lignisul showed increased nail length and nail thickness growth compared to the group on placebo. Approximately 10% of those on placebo showed increased nail length growth. None of the subjects on placebo showed an increase in nail thickness.
Based on the results of the two trials, Dr. Lawrence concluded: "oral supplementation with Lignisul (MSM) is a valuable addition to hair and nail growth. Hair and nail health was significantly improved in a short term of six weeks. If the trials were continued for eight to sixteen weeks, the results would have been even better for those on Lignisul."
MSM helps allergies and asthma. It moderates the response to all types of allergens including the things we eat, breathe, and touch. Many people using MSM are able to stop their prescription antihistamines and inhalers completely, or at least markedly cut down on the amount they have to use to control their symptoms.
MSM has been effective for the relief of stomach pain, indigestion and bloating. Use of MSM may eliminate the need for antacids and prescription acid-blocking drugs. It can normalize bowel function.
MSM can be effective for other gastrointestinal problems. It may reduce the inflammation of mucus membranes and promote healing of mouth ulcers, stomach ulcers and various inflammatory diseases such as colitis and diverticulitis.
MSM has been known to relieve leg cramps, especially in the elderly. It is an anti-inflammatory and an analgesic and may relieve the pain and stiffness of various forms of arthritis and tendonitis. It promotes the healing of wounds and supports the growth of healthy skin, hair and nails. Psoriasis sufferers have experienced prompt and dramatic relief with MSM. MSM softens tissue and increases the elasticity of tissue. Many people using MSM have reported improvement in scars left from burns or other severe injuries.
Organic sulfur is critically important for the maintenance of health. Unfortunately our diet does not provide us with the sulfur we so badly need. MSM does. Whether you are nutritionally aware, or just learning about the role of supplements in improving your well-being, you should consider taking MSM.
