What is the MSM Vitamin?

Question

I've heard it's good for skin, hair and nails, but what is it? How does it work?

Answer 1

Methyl-sulfonyl-methane. It's basically a type of sulfur found in plants and animals. We don't eat raw food much these days, and applying heat by cooking or processing foods in a different way such as pickling easily destroys the sulfur content. Same reason garlic is so healthy, it's high in sulfur. As for why it's healthy for hair skin and nails; MSM assists in the production of collagen, and helps you create new cells in a flexible way, preventing skin wrinkling, nails splitting or hair breaking.
