"Sometimes I run out and forget to reorder, I really notice the difference when I don't take the product each day. I think it works!! Will pass on the info to a friend whose cat is getting stiff in his old age, perhaps it might help him too" Sheila Bristow
Although you may never have heard of it, Methyl-sulfonyl-methane
(MSM) is a naturally occurring sulphur compound found in everyone's
blood as well as in many common beverages and foods, including
milk, coffee, tea and green vegetables.The highest concentration
of MSM is found in milk. However, heat and processing reduces
the levels of MSM in foods. Onions, garlic, asparagus, cabbage,
broccoli and Brussels sprouts are sulphur-rich foods, but not
as rich as eggs and red peppers. In its purified chemical
form, it is an odorless, essentially tasteless, white, water-soluble
crystalline solid. There is no MSM in Cortaflex, only Sulphur.
Sulphur has an important role in maintaining the structure of
the proteins in the body, helping the formation of keratin
which is essential for hair and nail growth, helping in the
production of immunoglobulin which maintains the immune system,
and catalyzing the chemical reactions which change food into
energy. Sulphur is the eighth most abundant element in the
human body and has a long history as a healing agent. For
centuries people have soaked in sulphur-rich, mineral hot springs
to help heal a variety of ailments. While sulphur’s natural
anti-inflammatory properties have shown benefits for a range
of health problems, including arthritis, muscle and joint
pain, much is still unknown about precisely how it works in
the body. However, numerous studies have shown that sulphur
levels in arthritic joints are lower than in healthy joints.
Cortaflex may help by delivering needed sulphur to these areas.
Research Study
Lingnisul MSM Methylsulfonylmethane in the treatment of acute
athletic injuries
By Ronald M Lawrence, MD, PhD, Daniel Sanchez DC, CCSP, Mark
Grosman DC
Abstract: Twenty four subjects (both male and female) were
seen in a clinical office setting. The subjects suffered from
acute injuries (under 30 days) sustained during the course
of athletic endeavour. The patients were selected on a random
basis to receive either a placebo or Lingnisul MSM in addition
to routine chiropractic manipulation, ultrasound and muscle
stimulation at each visit. All patients were treated with
similar therapy and all patients received unmarked capsules
of either a placebo or Lingnisul MSM. Patients were discharged
from care once all their symptoms were resolved. Of the twelve
patients who received placebo four of the twelve graded their
results as excellent or good, while of the twelve on Lingnisul
MSM seven of the twelve graded their symptom reduction as
excellent or good..
