At last, natural ingredients are being recognized for superfood status. Even so, most fail to appreciate the broad spectrum, curative powers that exist in nature’s apothecary. Superfood status, once awarded only to 9 or 10 foods, has finally been increased to over 50!
Today, we’re introducing you to MSM, (Methylsulfonylmethane) and why, though not technically a food, it deserves ‘superfood’ status.
What Classifies a Superfood as ‘Super’?
Excellent question. The food industry awards the ‘superfood’ moniker to nutrient-rich foods with a broad range of health benefits. While a growing number of foods can be described as super, there is no one food that guarantees good health or prevents disease.
Eating a variety of fresh produce, nuts, and seeds supplies our bodies with the nutrients it needs for good health. The benefit of focusing on superfoods is that they supply the body with a plethora of ingredients for the body to use across the board.
The world is starting to understand how a single food, addresses, and assists in relieving multiple ailments.
What’s so Super About MSM?
MSM is technically a chemical, but in the language of your body, it's a ‘food’! Lab-manufactured MSM has long been added to pain relief medicines. Natural, plant-based MSM is, however, way more sophisticated than its hopelessly inferior laboratory name’s sake.
For starters, natural MSM supplies organic sulfur to the body from which other chemicals that your body needs at different times are manufactured. That should help you understand why it is considered effective in a multitude of ailments.
