MSM is a nutritional form of sulphur, which is an essential component in the formation of collagen, elastin, cartilage and keratin. It gives flexibility, tone and strength to muscles, bones, joints, internal membranes and especially the skin, hair and nails.Adequate levels of sulphur in the body help to promote a radiant complexion, glowing skin and mineralised hair. Therefore sulphur is often referred to as “The beauty mineral”. Research has found that most people are deficient in sulphur and that deficiency increases with age.Raw Gaia’s MSM helps to promote elasticity, healing and repair. MSM makes cell walls more permeable, allowing nutrients and water to flow freely into cells. It also helps to allow waste and toxins to flow out.Consequently:MSM helps our body’s ability in absorbing more nutrients – Vitamins and minerals “lock” with MSM, allowing the body to fully utilise them.Oxygen availability is increased – MSM helps to get oxygen into the blood more efficiently.People tend to feel more energetic – The intake of MSM increases cell permeability, allowing for an improvement in the absorption of nutrients and oxygen while toxins are released, thereby helping to increase energy levels.MSM helps to reduce inflammation and swelling – By equalizing the pressure on both sides of a cell wall, MSM helps to remove inflammation from soft tissue and helps to reduce pain caused by arthritis and rheumatism.MSM helps to maintain a proper pH balance – Sulphur is an essential component of insulin, which plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism. Sulphur also helps to maintain an overall body balance between alkalinity and acidity.Raw Gaia’s MSM is 100% pure, derived from plant seeds and not from petrochemicals, as is sold by most manufacturers.Directions: Initially, it is best to start taking MSM in small quantities (1/2 teaspoon in a pint size glass of water) and gradually increase the dose gradually to 1 to 2 teaspoons each day.

MSM that comes from China has been proven to be contaminated with trace quantities of butylated hydroxtoluene (BHT), a phenolic compound usually added to foods as a preservative. MSM purified by distillation uses heat not water to separate the by products and impurities of manufacturing. A more cost intensive process, distillation ensures that the final product contains only pure MSM. This process of distillation is exactly how our MSM is produced.Directions: Initially, it is best to start taking MSM in small quantities (1/2 teaspoon in a pint size glass of water) and gradually increase the dose gradually to 1 to 2 teaspoons each day.
