Use and benefits of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring compound in foods such as fresh vegetables, meat, and dairy products. Unfortunately as we age our diet often doesn't provide the sulfur our body needs. Natural sulfur plays a role in many of the body's processes. Many of MSM's benefits have links to its anti-inflammatory action. Inflammation is a factor in many health conditions, including arthritis, allergies, and skin conditions. By reducing inflammation, MSM may be able to reduce or eliminate certain symptoms. Some scientific studies indicate that MSM could be useful for treating several different medical conditions. A great book on the benefits and research done on MSM is "The Natural Solution for Pain" by Dr Stanley Jacob. The following are some of the best-documented uses for MSM.

Treating osteoarthritis and joint pain

Osteoarthritis, which affects around 2.1 million Australians, is a deterioration of cartilage in one or more of the joints. It commonly affects the knees, hips, lower back, hands, and ankles and usually gets worse over time. Various studies suggest that taking MSM could help with symptoms of arthritis or relieve joint pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Treating allergies

Around 20% of Australians are affected by allergies with reactions ranging from annoying to potentially fatal. An allergic response occurs when the body's immune system reacts to otherwise harmless substances called allergens. Allergy symptoms are your body's reaction to something foreign in your system. Symptoms are caused by an antibody called immunoglobulin E, a protein that the body produces to fight the foreign substance. When there is sufficient MSM in your system, your cells become more permeable, enabling your body to quickly flush out any undesirable foreign particles. If your body is sulfur deficient, the cell walls become hard and stiff, hindering the flow of fluid through the cell walls. MSM softens the cell walls, allowing allergens, foreign proteins, and any free-radicals to be moved out of your system. In a double-blind study, people who took a daily dose of 3 g of MSM had reductions of more than 50 percent in their Allergic Rhinitis symptoms.

Rosacea and skin inflammation

MISMO utilise MSM in their products for topical use, meaning by applying it to the skin. The anti-inflammatory power of MSM can help specific skin conditions when applied as a cream or gel. Dermatologists have long prescribed sulfur creams and washes to treat skin conditions, including rosacea and acne. Topical sulfur has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Preventing or treating ulcers

Gastric (stomach) ulcers are sores that occur in the stomach lining. They can cause symptoms including burning pain in the stomach, bleeding, vomiting, and weight loss. A study in mice found that supplementing with MSM could help prevent gastric ulcers. The mice receiving the MSM had some protection of the mucus layer in the stomach, which becomes damaged by peptic ulcers.

Snoring

In a small study, sufferers of chronic snoring were given 16% MSM drops in a water solution as a nasal spray in each nostril 15 minutes prior to bed. 80% reported reductions in snoring with no side effects whatsoever after 90 days. The benefits of a MSM nasal spray are HUGE! Not only is it great for snoring, it is also very handy for allergy sufferers, can help nip any sore throats in the bud and is fabulous to take on long haul plane trips to help fortify your immune system against any bugs. Irene, founder of MISMO Body Care, has a simple recipe for you to make your own. Simply follow these easy steps:
  1. 1/2 cup boiled water or drinkable distilled water
  2. 3 drops Betadine
  3. 3 drops tea tree oil
  4. 2 level teaspoons of MSM
  5. Shake and add to a bottle with a spray.
Spray 4 times down throat every 4 hours plus a couple of sprays up the nose while on a plane or twice a day while travelling. You may possibly experience a mild stinging however, this should not last and the benefits will out way the short lived discomfort.

Are you ready to try MSM?

MISMO MSM is listed with the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration). We are the only company in Australia with this listing for pure MSM in powder form.

Pure MSM is just that. No magnesium stearate, silica or anti caking agents have been added NOTHING! Pure MSM must be totally clear when dissolved, otherwise something has been added.

ADVICE: Use only 99.95% pure MSM; pharmaceutical grade is best. To consume, mix with water or unsweetened fruit juice. Vitamin C powder can also be mixed with MSM to improve the bitter taste. Avoid MSM tablets, capsules and pills as the majority contain inexpensive and undesirable bulk fillers, this effectively means you may require dozens a day for the desired effect! A tablet must have other ingredients to be manufactured so you will never get a 100% MSM tablet. Pure MSM crystals will give a concentrated dosage with no additives.

Don't just take our word for it that MSM Powder is wonderful read some of the touching testimonials we've received from our customers after they've experienced the fantastic results for themselves!

How to Use

  • Start small: Take ¼–½ teaspoon per day (or 1–2 capsules) to avoid detox effects.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, slowly increase to 2–6 grams daily (5–6 capsules), adjusting based on your needs.

Best taken in the morning: Many find it gives a natural energy boost. Mix with water or juice.

If detox symptoms like headaches occur, reduce the dose and build up slowly.

WARNINGS: If taking strong blood thinners, do not take MSM without your doctor's approval. Not to be taken by children without a health professional's advice.  MSM can also interfere with the accuracy of the blood test for liver enzymes by sometimes producing false positive results. It is recommended you cease taking MSM at least 4 days before these blood tests. You can resume after the test.

How much MSM should I take daily?

  • Start small: ¼–½ teaspoon (or 1–2 capsules) to allow your body to adjust.
  • Increase slowly: Most people take around 1 teaspoon daily (4g).
  • Higher doses may provide extra relief—adjust based on how you feel.

Should I choose MSM capsules or powder?

MSM Powder is the most cost-effective option for daily use at home. It is the best option for those on a larger dose (2tsp+).

MSM Capsules are convenient for travel and great for those who don’t like the taste of MSM powder.

Where does MISMO MSM come from?

MISMO MSM is tested for purity and quality, ensuring you get a clean, bioavailable supplement.

There are two types of MSM:

  • Distilled Ultra-Pure MSM – The gold standard, made using a 4-step distillation process for the purest form.
  • Pure-Crystalline MSM – Created through a centrifuge process, maintaining high purity while being slightly more affordable.

Every batch is independently tested to ensure zero additives, fillers, or anti-caking agents.

What is the science of MSM?

Sulfur is essential for keeping your skin firm, joints flexible, and connective tissue strong. MSM provides a natural source of sulfur, helping your body produce collagen and elastin—the key proteins that keep skin smooth and resilient. Nearly half of your body's sulfur is found in your skin, muscles, cartilage, and bones, making it crucial for overall strength and mobility.
