Methyl Sulfonyl Methane/L-carnitine Base/Hcl/L-arginine Malate/Aakg

Methysulfonylmethane (MSM?), a naturally occurring dietary derivative of DMSO, serves as an important source of bioavailable dietary sulfur and, when administered orally, is effective in ameliorating symptoms of physiological response to stress, including gastrointestinal upset, inflammation of the mucus membranes, pain associated with musculoskeletal system disorders, and infectant allergens. MSM? appears to augment immunological competence through a natural, vitamin-like moderating or normalizing activity for various body functions and is noted for its exceptionally non-toxic nature. MSM? has proven useful as a dietary supplement for both children and adults, including geriatric patients. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM? ) is a naturally occurring, sulfur containing compound with multiple functions in the body. MSM? is naturally present in body fluids and tissues and is found in milk and a variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains in small amounts. At low levels of ingestion, it functions as a normal dietary ingredient and assimilable source of essential dietary sulfur. At higher levels it functions as a pharmaceutically active agent which can be used safely and effectively for a variety of purposes. The development of MSM? as a dietary supplement stemmed from research an DMSO (dimethsulfoxide). As a stable, ordorless dietary metabolite of DMSO, MSM? possesses certain biomedical properties similar to DMSO, together with additional biological activity not possessed by DMSO. MSM?, like DMSO, enhances urinary taurine secretion produced by aromatic hydrocarbons in man and neutralizes the toxicity of anticholinesterases, thereby providing protection against insecticide exposure of ingestion. NUTRITIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF MSM MSM?, and many precursor compounds which are readily converted to MSM? in the body, are found in most natural, unprocessed foods. However, because of its volatility, it is readily lost when fresh food is processed and/or stored. Unless the diet consists largely of raw, unprocessed foods, it is unlikely that sufficient MSM? will be ingested to contribute significantly to the daily nutritional sulfur requirement, thus furthering the high incidence of sulfur-deficient diets which exist globally. Sulfur plays an indispensable role in human nutrition which is often overlooked. It is responsible for the conformation of body proteins through the formation of disulfide bonds, thereby holding connective tissue together. Thiol (i.e. sulfhydryl) groups are vital for the catalytic function of several body enzymes. To perform these roles, constant intake of assimilable sulfur is needed by the body. Although MSM? has not yet been established to be a vitamin, it does have a vitamin-like moderating or normalizing activity for various body functions, as there appears to be a high correlation between abnormal physiological symptoms and low blood levels in human beings. Although MSM? is found as a natural constituent of foodstuffs, like vitamin D, the principle supply is believed to be synthesized by the body using one of its naturally occurring precursor compounds. Also, excretion data show that MSM? occurs in lower concentrations with increasing age. Too low a body concentration of MSM? may potentially result in adverse physical and psychological stress, tissue and organ malfunction, fatigue, and increased susceptibility to disease.
