MSM and Gout
MSM supplements can help
to alleviate the symptoms of gout, this article looks at the benefits
of MSM for gout sufferers.
...
... Research
suggests that there is a connection between gout and MSM, which stands
for Methyl Sulfonyl Methane. This substance is a natural
sulfur compound and it is currently being used to treat several
conditions, including ones that affect the joints.
Traditional
sulfur is known for its strong smell and so is methane, however MSM
does not have this smell. Studies are still being carried out on MSM
and it's affects on gout, as scientists are still trying to understand
this compound. But at the moment MSM supplements are safe to take.
Further more these supplements are not too expensive so there is no
reason not to try them if you are a gout sufferer.
MSM has a
positive affect on gout because it targets the connective tissues. MSM
repairs and rebuilds essential proteins and collagen which keeps the
joints healthy and in good working order.
MSM
particularly benefits the joints and the tendons, however similar
tissues throughout the body also benefit from the presence of MSM.
MSM has
several other benefits apart from the ones just mentioned. It is known
to help with the absorption of vitamins. It is also said to promote
healthy hair and nails. This substance is believed to also have a small
but positive effect on the immune system, and it helps the liver to
eliminate toxins from the body.
Another
benefit of this substance that will interest gout sufferers is MSM can
help to reduce pain and inflammation.
Although it
is found in many foods, it is difficult to consume sufficient amounts
of MSM, because there are only small amounts present. Foods that
contain MSM include: milk, certain meats, fish, fresh fruits and
vegetables. Milk actually has higher amounts of this substance than
most foods.
When foods
are cooked the MSM levels present decrease, which makes consuming
sufficient amounts of MSM even more difficult.
Fortunately MSM comes in the form of a supplement making it much easier
to consume sufficient amounts. It can either be taken as a pill or
added to drinks as a powder. You can also purchase creams that contain
MSM and they can be applied directly to the joints that have been
affected by gout.
MSM does
not offer instant gout relief, it actually takes a while before you
notice any of its benefits. You should
approach the use of MSM for gout relief as a long term solution.
People who
use MSM are usually advised to start of with a low dosage, that
gradually increases over time. It can
take anything from a few weeks to months to build up the optimum levels
of MSM in the body. Once this happens you should start to notice its
effect. When using MSM ensure you don't exceed the recommended dosage.
You should also inform your doctor before taking any sort of
supplements or medication.
