Fundamental Sulfur Capsules 750 mg 100 Count

Amni® Fundamental Sulfur Capsules (MSM®), provided by

Douglas Laboratories®, each contain 750 mg of methylsulfonylmethane

(MSM). MSM, a derivative of DMSO, is a naturally occurring

compound of biologically available sulfur.

Sulfur is an indispensable element in human nutrition. As

part of the amino acids methionine and cysteine, sulfur is

required for the structural integrity and function of almost

every protein in the body, including enzymes, serum

proteins, and the keratin of skin, hair, and nails. Taurine,

another sulfur-containing amino acid is known for its role in

bile salt synthesis, cell membrane stability, neuronal

excitability and the regulation of osmotic pressure. Sulfur is

also an essential element for the glycosaminoglycans of

connective tissues and cartilage, and assumes a major role in

detoxification as part of the hepatic sulfur conjugation

pathways. Proper detoxification of xenobiotics, such as

phenols, and many endogenous and foreign food- or airborne

compounds depends on an adequate supply of

biologically acitive sulfur.

Dietary MSM serves as a versatile donor of metabolically

active sulfur for the synthesis of numerous organosulfur

compounds and proteins in the body. As such, MSM helps

maintain normal immune response, lung function,

connective tissue metabolism, and muscle contraction.

MSM occurs naturally in a variety of foods, such as fruits,

vegetables, cereal grains, milk, and fish. However, MSM is

volatile and easily lost during cooking. MSM is very well

absorbed by the intestinal tract and rapidly distributed within

the body.

Fundamental Sulfur may be a useful dietary supplement for

individuals who wish to enhance their diets with biologically

active sulfur.
