During the summer months we experience relief from many of the ailments that bother us throughout the colder seasons of the year. One of the best examples can be felt in achy joints. Many Kansans are affected by joint pain and stiffness, which becomes even more aggravated by cold weather. The NutraSense Company, based in Lenexa, KS, offers a premium line of nutritional supplements that, when taken regularly, can promote healthy joints, especially during the winter months.
Supplementing during the warmer months with products like Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM can not only provide early relief but also help “winterize” your joints for the colder days ahead. These products have been researched extensively and are available in stores now.
Of these products, MSM is the most recent to make it’s debut on market shelves.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)
is a natural source of organic sulfur that is readily available for use by the body. It is reported to have a number of beneficial effects with respect to osteoarthritis. Sulfur is necessary for the formation of all healthy body tissues including bones, joints, ligaments, heart valves, membranes, etc. Medical studies have shown that sulfur levels are critical to maintaining healthy, pain-free joints. MSM effectively supplies the body with organic sulfur that helps maintain the integrity of joint cartilage.
MSM occurs naturally in the human body and in some foods. MSM is found naturally in meat, fish, eggs, milk, and in smaller amounts in some beans, grains, fruits and vegetables. Even though foods like onions, garlic, asparagus, broccoli and cabbage are rich sources of sulfur, this may not be enough to meet your body’s needs. Symptoms of sulfur deficiency are often marked by brittle nails and hair, slow healing wounds, arthritis, skin disorders, depression or memory loss.
Since organic sulfur is a naturally occurring component in the body, it is generally thought that most active adults can benefit from supplementing with MSM. The recommended daily dosage for MSM is 2000-4000 mg per day. NutraSense recommends that people consult their physician before they start taking any product on a regular basis.
NutraSense also offers MSM in combination with one of the most effective joint health supplements, Glucosamine-ES. The MSM compliments the Glucosamine and the two work together to provide more of what the body needs to keep your joints healthy. NutraSense uses only American made ingredients that have successfully passed strict quality testing. You can be sure that you are making the right choice when you purchase NutraSense supplements at your favorite retailer.
