MSM
MSM has more recently become used as a dietary supplement because of the outgrowth of
research on the well-known substance DMSO by Dr. Stanley W. Jacob at the Oregon Health
Science University. He learned that MSM was a stable metabolite of DMSO, odorless and a
very efficient method for supplementation. Actually, MSM is equivalent to DMSO but
contains an additional atom of oxygen, so it is actually DMSO2. Life Plus International's
MSM PLUS uses the highest quality MSM available and is provided under protection of
several U.S. Patents and is guaranteed 99.9% pure Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane. Protected under
U.S. Patents 5,071,878 and 4,863,748 and 4,616,039 and 4,296,130.

SULFUR
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-bearing
amino acids are key components of many functional proteins and enzymes, and important
determinants in the "tertiary" three-dimensional structures, many of which are
held in place by permanent disulfide (-S-S-) linkages—for example, in maintaining the
hair in its natural inclination toward straight or curly.
SULFUR AND
THE AMINO ACIDS
Sulfur is contained in the amino acids, methionine, cysteine and cystine, and in the
important sulfhydryl tripeptide glutathione. Dietary sulfur can be incorporated into
cysteine, cystine and glutathione. Animal studies using radioactive tracers show that the
sulfur in MSM can even be utilized to prepare methionine. Key proteins dependent on, for
example, the important oxidation-reduction partners cysteine and cystine include:
LH (luteinizing hormone)
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin)
follicle-stimulating hormone
sex steroid-binding protein
human estrogen receptor
insulin
thyroid transcription factor
immunoglobulins (IgA , IgG, IgM)
nucleic acids (RNA, DNA)
EGF (epidermal growth factor)
transmembrane proteins
cell adhesion receptors
collagen basement membrane
procollagen
collagen
MSM
MSM is an abbreviation for Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane. It is a natural form of sulfur found
in all living organisms and is present in our body fluids and tissues. It is found in many
fresh foods including most fresh fruits and vegetables, milk and some grains. Even though
it is present in fresh foods, it is easily destroyed in cooking, storing and processing.
Due to modern food processing and cooking, sufficient MSM may not be present to provide
significant biological sulfur, so it makes sense to incorporate MSM PLUS as part of your
dietary supplement program when supplemental sulfur is desired—especially for
vegetarians as they may have a shortage of sulfur in their diets. For those wishing to
apply MSM directly to the skin, an elegant Organic Body Lotion is available.
DMSO
The development of MSM as a dietary supplement stems from research completed by Dr.
Stanley W. Jacob at the Oregon Health Science University. He learned that MSM was an
odorless and stable metabolite of DMSO that possessed some similar properties. Actually
MSM is chemically DMSO2—that is DMSO with an additional oxygen, yet it is a natural
component of our cells.
