In fact, sulfur is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body.
Sulfur is vital to the creation and regeneration of the body s tissues.
It must be present for collagen to be produced, and is a major component in the formation of cartilage and connective tissues. Symptoms associated with sulfur deficiencies include a poorly functioning immune system, gastrointestinal problems, allergies, arthritis, nail, hair, and skin problems. If the body is not receiving enough sulfur it produces weak, dysfunctional cells. Our highly-processed modern diet, air, soil, and water pollution, over farming and deforestation have made adequate nutritional sulfur unavailable to most people through food alone. Supplementation with MSM is a safe way to insure sufficient sulfur intake.
