Best List of the Top 12 benefits of MSM Powder How MSM Powder Can Improve Your Life Without Any Risk of Side Effects

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a sulfur compound that helps build proteins in the body and is easy to absorb. It is also known as DMSO, but DMSO is typically not for human usage.

MSM contains sulfur and is found in many places, but with the typical American diet, we don't consume as much as it as we could be eating.

Because our bodies really need MSM to create proteins, it can be super helpful to include MSM powder into your daily diet.

Top 12 Benefits of MSM Powder:

1. Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
2. Collagen Synthesis
3. Glutathione
4. Dissolves scar tissue
5. Decreases inflammation
6. Increases elasticity in the body (joints, tissues, connecting joints, blood flow in veins)
7. Improves digestion
8. Skin recovery
9. Muscle Recovery
10. Cancer treatments (Breast Cancer specifically)
11. Allergies
12. Hair growth

Rob uses Ultra Botanicals - MSM Powder 4000 mg. - Joint Support - 16 oz. (454 Grams), but there are many other brands out there.

If you prefer to not take MSM supplements, you can also eat the following vegetables for the same benefits. Just make sure to buy locally grown, organic, pesticide free vegetables for the full effect!

• Peas
• Spinach
• Mustard Greens
• Green Cabbage
• Kale
• Lettuce
• Cruciferous Vegetables
