Methylsulfonylmethane Exhibits Bacteriostatic Inhibition of Vancomycin-Resistant , .

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial properties of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) on vancomycin-resistant (VRE). Bacterial proliferation was measured spectrophotometrically during growth in brain heart infusion broth with 0%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, 12%, and 16% MSM. To assess the mechanism of inhibition, VRE was grown overnight with 0-16% MSM and enumerated on unmedicated and medicated (3-16% MSM) brain heart infusion agar (BHIA).

Beauty from within: Oral administration of a sulfur-containing supplement methylsulfonylmethane improves signs of skin ageing.

: Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organosulfur compound with known benefits for joint health, sports nutrition, immune function, and anti-aging formulations and is gaining popularity as a nutritional supplement for the support of hair, skin and nails. : The study was conducted in two steps; in Part I (pilot study) a panel of 20 participants ingested either 3 g a day of MSM or placebo capsules for 16 weeks. Visual and subject self assessment of wrinkles and skin texture as the predominant sign of ageing was observed.

Small Intestinal Absorption of Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and Accumulation of the Sulfur Moiety in Selected Tissues of Mice.

The principal dietary sources of sulfur, the amino acids methionine and cysteine, may not always be consumed in adequate amounts to meet sulfur requirements. The naturally occurring organosulfur compound, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), is available as a dietary supplement and has been associated with multiple health benefits. Absorption of MSM by the small intestine and accumulation of the associated sulfur moiety in selected tissues with chronic (8 days) administration were evaluated using juvenile male mice.

Methylsulfonylmethane: Applications and Safety of a Novel Dietary Supplement.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) has become a popular dietary supplement used for a variety of purposes, including its most common use as an anti-inflammatory agent. It has been well-investigated in animal models, as well as in human clinical trials and experiments. A variety of health-specific outcome measures are improved with MSM supplementation, including inflammation, joint/muscle pain, oxidative stress, and antioxidant capacity.
