It sounds like some kind of miracle drug :eek: , for those feed it to their horses and those who take it them selves what kind of changes did you see? Do all horses/people need to supplement MSM or is enough taken in naturally?
MSM is a white, odorless, water-soluble element produced in the fluids and tissues of all living creatures. Along with water and salt, it composes 90 percent of all living organisms.
This natural sulfonyl sulfur compound, once called "Factor N" (for returning cells to Normal), forms the flexible bond between protein amino acid chains. It builds and maintains supple, permeable collagen cell walls in flesh tissues, using Vitamin C for tissue cell formation.
MSM provides sulfur bonding in all enzymes and amino acids, and is required for the body to use Vitamin B5, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Selenium, Calcium, Manganese, and Co-Enzyme Q-10. 1/8 tsp. is used in the body daily. Humans contain about 0.2-0.25 ppm.
MSM softens leathery eye membranes, allowing nutrients to penetrate. It removes waste particle buildup (cataracts) and inside eye pressure (glaucoma), improves vision, muscle tone, red spots, damaged blood vessels for contact lens wearers (with MSM Eye Drops), and removes floaters.
MSM improves cell wall respiration, moving nutrients and oxygen into cells and waste toxins out, and it improves circulation. MSM lessens muscle inflammations and pain, athletic soreness, back problems, bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, hip dysplasia, and toe pain from weather pressure changes on leathery membranes.
MSM relieves skin problems, leathery cracked skin, wrinkles, and skin itching. MSM reduces scar tissue, moles, brown spots, black spots, skin tumors, cuts, and burns. Dogs eat greens to counter itchy skin, and caged birds pull feathers out to counter MSM deficiency itching.
MSM lessens cholesterol buildup, hardening of the arteries, varicose veins, strokes, heart attacks, and improves athletic performance, boosts energy, and lessens recovery time after distance running by 75 percent.
MSM improves immunity, counters lung problems (as in nasal spray), asthma, and emphysema. It neutralizes free radicals and foreign proteins, counters food and pollen allergies in 3-4 days (250-270 mg. daily), dust mites, Candida, headaches, migraines, hangover, alcoholism, and Alzheimer's disease.
MSM binds foreign proteins, anti-venom that neutralizes (rattle) snake bites, bee stings, mosquito and flea bites, brown recluse spider and black widow spider bites, and reduces drug hypersensitivity to non-steroid anti-arthritic drugs and oral antibiotics.
MSM helps drug withdrawal and repairs prednisone drug damage. MSM lessens the need for diabetics' insulin use. MSM is a mild diuretic, and is beneficial for PMS, cramps, nausea, and hot flashes.
MSM prevents stomach problems, counters stomach acidity and ulcers, constipation, and diverticulosus. It loosens and flushes colon urogenital parasites, roundworms, Giardia, and Trichomonas.
MSM supplementation side effects are generally considered positive. Fingernails, toenails, and hair grow twice as fast. Users report a reduction in nail ridges and split hair ends. Excess MSM is flushed in 12 hours.
