- Supporting Skin Integrity
Aging skin can occur more rapidly than ever before, due to UV rays, poor nutrition, and environmental toxins. MSM helps inhibit the signs of aging skin by supporting key nutrient production and reducing inflammatory molecules related to the breakdown of dermal collagen and elastin structure of the skin.
Skin integrity refers to skin health. A skin integrity issue might mean the skin is damaged, vulnerable to injury or unable to heal normally. A pressure wound (also called a pressure sore, bed sore or pressure ulcer) is an injury to the skin and surrounding tissue. *
Research suggests that appropriate skin cleansing procedures and protection, as well as nutritional and environmental interventions, may help reduce some of the effects of aging and have positive psychological and health outcomes. **
Glutathione is a critical antioxidant involved in detoxifying and reducing oxidative damage in the body. Without the presence of sulfur, glutathione is unable to function properly. OptiMSM® contains sulfur that is needed to help regulate glutathione.
- Mobility & Joint Support / Joint Health
Aging can lead to a breakdown of joint health and mobility. Sulfur is a key nutrient involved in protecting joints, tendons, and connective tissue.
