If the body isn't receiving the proper nutritional including MSM, the body instead will produce weak dysfunctional cells. MSM was found naturally and all forms of life were able to obtain it for use. Today, just as many other once abundant minerals are now lacking, it is not as easy to obtain adequate dietary sulfur. It is found in milk, fresh fruits and vegetables and meats. It is water soluble and therefore easily lost in cooking and processing.
Sulfur is an essential mineral for the human body and plays many roles.
Sulfur is a required structural mineral in hair, skin and nails. It is necessary to help maintain flexibility and elasticity of tissues. Sulfur also is needed to maintain cell membrane permeability. This is important to ensure that nutrients are delivered into the cell and toxins and waste products can exit the cell. Sulfur also forms sulfolipids, which are biochemicals in the brain, liver and kidneys and is found in many enzymes.
