MSM / Methylsulfonylmethane

Description

One of the important areas of MSM research is its relationship to inflammatory processes and oxidative stress. Experimental research studies its influence on signaling pathways such as NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasomes, as well as on pro-inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. And that’s exactly what led us to another very interesting area; intestines and intestinal barrier.

MSM & GUT HEALTH?

Yes, this is particularly interesting to us too.
In preclinical research, MSM is studied in the context of intestinal inflammation, oxidative stress and preservation of the integrity of the intestinal epithelium and the so-called tight junction structure. This opens up a very interesting space for the future development of gut-health, gut-barrier and complex wellness formulations. It is important to emphasize that this is a field of scientific research and that there are no approved health claims in the EU for the mentioned effects of MSM.

And what about training and recovery?

Another area where MSM is becoming particularly interesting is physical recovery after intense activity. In human studies, its potential impact on post-workout muscle soreness, oxidative stress and subjective feelings of recovery have been studied. Therefore, we see it not only as a classic “joint” ingredient, but as an interesting component of modern SPORT & RECOVERY formulations.

Joints still remain an important story

The joint area is one of the most researched areas of MSM use. Clinical studies have examined its use for pain, stiffness, and joint function.
MSM is therefore very interesting to combine with collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, minerals and other ingredients intended for complex formulations.

And another interesting story – BEAUTY FROM WITHIN

MSM is increasingly being researched in the context of skin appearance, hydration, elasticity and signs of aging, which is precisely why we see it in formulations:
COLLAGEN + MSM
MSM + HYALURONIC ACID
MSM + VITAMIN C
BEAUTY FROM WITHIN COMPLEX

MSM is now available in our country as a raw material for the development and production of nutritional supplements, in pure form.

It is suitable for formulating:

• powdered dietary supplements
• sticks and sachets
• capsule and tablet
• sports and recovery products
• joint products
• beauty-from-within concepts
• new gut-health formulations

And if you want the most simple product – MSM can be a product by itself: 100% MSM powder, without additional active ingredients.

Important regulatory note: MSM currently has no approved health claims in the EU.
The areas of activity listed in this newsletter represent an overview of current directions of scientific research and do not constitute approved health claims within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006.
