Use and benefits of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

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!

Powder or Capsules?

MSM Powder – Dietary supplement for general wellbeing and an active lifestyle. The most economical option and perfect for daily use at home.

MSM Capsules – TGA-listed medicine containing the same MSM powder. Convenient for travel or if you prefer to avoid the taste.

The following claims and product information apply only to MSM Capsules, in line with TGA requirements.

Benefits

  • ✅Supports joint health and movement – Encourages flexibility and mobility for an active lifestyle.
  • ✅Promotes strong cartilage and connective tissue – Provides essential sulfur to maintain joint integrity.
  • ✅Boosts skin hydration and elasticity – Helps support collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
  • ✅Encourages strong hair and nails – Contributes to hair strength and reduces brittleness.
  • ✅Assists with post-exercise recovery – Supports muscle and tissue repair after physical activity.
  • ✅Supports digestive function – Helps maintain overall gut health and nutrient absorption.

Why It Works

MSM is a natural source of sulfur, an essential nutrient involved in collagen formation, connective tissue maintenance, and overall recovery. Since modern food processing reduces sulfur levels in our diets, supplementing with MISMO MSM helps replenish these vital nutrients for long-term well-being.

Who is it for?

Individuals looking to support joint flexibility and movement, skin hydration, strong hair and nails, and overall wellness.

How to Use

MSM should be taken daily, and results should not be expected immediately. The recommended daily dose is 2–6 grams.

  • Start slow: Take 1–2 capsules daily (equivalent to ¼–½ teaspoon powder) and allow your body to adjust.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, increase to 5-6 capsules daily (equivalent to 1 teaspoon powder), based on your needs.
  • Best taken in the morning: Many users find it provides a natural boost when mixed with water or juice.

Some people experience mild detox effects when starting MSM, like slight headaches. If this happens, lower your dose and increase gradually. This is a sign that MSM is working.

MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen

Pairing MSM with Vitamin C and Collagen can help absorption and effectiveness. Vitamin C plays a key role in collagen production, which, when combined with MSM, helps support joint health, skin elasticity, and overall well-being. Many people take these together as part of their daily routine to support healthy aging, mobility, and skin vitality.

MSM helps with flexibility and inflammation support, while Magnesium plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve function. Many people take them together to help with muscle tension, post-workout recovery, and overall mobility. Pairing MSM with Magnesium can be a great way to support an active lifestyle and daily comfort.
