MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an odorless, essentially tasteless, white crystalline chemical demonstrating usefulness as a dietary supplement. MSM contributes essential sulfur for the synthesis of connective tissue, enzymes and immunoglobulin production. Cow's milk is a particularly rich source of MSM. However, heat and processing can reduce the MSM quantity in foods. A typical starting recommendation is 250mg per day, increasing to an average therapeutic dose of about 2gm per day. People taking MSM may notice additional benefits such as softer skin, harder nails, thicker hair, and softening of scar tissue. Since most Western diets are high in protein, the majority of diets probably supply enough sulfur. At the Oregon Health Sciences University there have been many observations of what MSM can achieve in the way of health and well-being when taken as a dietary supplement.
