Sulfur is an important body component.
It is essential to life, and a major component of all living things. It is an element that is quite often overlooked as a nutrient, but yet is an important ingredient in several of the very critical amino acids that make up the proteins contained in our muscles, enzymes and other constituents in our body. Sulfur is in the proteins which constitute basic hair, nails and skin. The sulfur-containing structural protein keratin is found throughout the body, from the epidermis to the hair follicle to the bronchial epithelium of the lungs to the intestinal mucosa. Sulfur is contained in the amino acids , methionine, cysteine and cystine, and in the important sulfhydryl tripeptide glutathione.
