MSM is also a component of bones, teeth, and collagen (connective tissue). MSM is integral in the formation of bile acids by the liver and insulin by the pancreas. It is the fourth most plentiful mineral in the body and is essential for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWHAT IS MSM USED FOR?\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMSM (methylsulfonylmethane), is an organic form of sulphur readily absorbed and utilized by our bodies. MSM is composed of 34% bio-available sulphur, making it the richest source of organic sulphur available. MSM is a safe, natural, supplement, which assists the body in maintaining adequate sulphur stores. MSM may support the body in regulating insulin production, improving skin smoothness and elasticity, regulating environmental and allergic sensitivities, enhancing bowel function and liver detoxification, and enhancing respiratory function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur bodies require the element sulphur for many of its functions. Sulphur is a component of the proteins necessary for the formation of skin, hair, nails, and muscle. Sulphur is also a component of bones, teeth, and collagen (connective tissue). Sulphur is integral in the formation of bile acids by the liver and insulin by the pancreas. It is the fourth most plentiful mineral in the body and is essential for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHISTORY OF MSM\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoctors Jacob and Herschler at the Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland Oregon discovered MSM in the early 1985s. MSM comes from the evaporation of the waters of the Oceans, into the rain clouds, and then is present in the rain itself. If you water your garden with rainwater, then MSM will be present in the produce of your garden. If you water your garden with water from only your faucet, then no MSM will be present in your produce. MSM should be present in all the products we consume, however it is easily destroyed by any heat or processing of foods or water treatment plants. Therefore finding MSM in our readily available foods is getting harder to do. The half-life of MSM is only 12 hours when consumed within the body. Therefore supplementation with MSM should be repeated both mornings and again in the evening. MSM is considered very safe. Toxicity is extremely rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMSM is generally non-allergenic. MSM Applications: Supported by Research and multiple patents, MSM insufficient levels as a Dietary Supplement, can help and improve the following conditions: Allergic responses, Gastrointestinal Disorders, Reduces effects of stress, Improves circulation and Enhances cell vitality, Helps regulate insulin production, Improves skin smoothness and elasticity, Reduces pain associated with systemic inflammatory disorders, including arthritis, night leg cramps, and migraines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMSM has also shown benefits in reducing sluggish memory, and symptoms of asthma and emphysema, reducing post athletic activity fatigue, and improved joint flexibility. The addition of the following synergistic ingredients greatly improves the effectiveness of MSM in many of the above conditions: Vitamin C, Amylase, cellulose, Lipase, Sucrase, Maltase, Lactase, Bromelain, and Amyloglucosidase. The addition of Glucosamine HCL greatly improves the effectiveness of MSM for Osteoarthritis. MSM serves two very important processes within the body. Some of the excess MSM you consume will flush out of your body in about 12 hours, taking with it many toxins. It is involved in the cellular makeup of the cell walls of any of the new cells your body creates. Our bodies are constantly making new cells to replace old cells. As new cells are created, the MSM is incorporated into the polypeptide bonds that make up the cell's walls. The result is the creation of cell walls that are more permeable to nutrients. It is like comparing backpack nylon material to cheesecloth. Cell walls without MSM will be very impermeable to nutrients while cell walls with adequate MSM will be very permeable to nutrients. Skin: The sulphur within MSM is responsible for the flexibility and elasticity of the skin. When sufficient MSM is present, the skin is softer, smoother, and more flexible. Tests conducted among laboratory animals indicated that wound healing occurred faster with a group receiving MSM plus vitamin C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on this information, MSM has been used to enhance skin wellness, improve scar formation, and assist in skin health in teens prone to acne. Allergy: There is considerable anecdotal evidence that MSM promotes a reduction in allergic symptoms in individuals with environmental allergies and sensitivities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Jacobs, who has utilized MSM in research at the Oregon Health Sciences University, reports improved allergic responses with the use of MSM. Liver detoxification: Sulphur is an extremely important component of Glutathione, the amino acid integral in phase 2 liver detoxification enzymes. Adequate levels of this based-based amino acid are necessary for the liver to perform its detoxification role. Supplementation with MSM may promote improved liver detoxification. Joints: General improvement in overall joint mobility is seen with the use of MSM. Reports have noted improvement in pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and gout. It is postulated that this is due to based enhancement of the sodium-potassium pump, allowing improved fluid flow and removal of cell toxins with reduction of pain and inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne study at Oregon Health Sciences University found that animals that were given MSM showed no degeneration of cartilage associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Studies in human volunteers with arthritis showed a 60 percent improvement in pain after taking 2.25 grams per day of MSM for four weeks. After six weeks, the improvement rate rose to 82 percent. Lung: MSM has been purported to enhance lung function by regulating the fluid that covers the airway surface of the lungs (surfactant) and decreasing inflammation. It has been used to decrease airway reactivity in asthmatics. One study showed that MSM increased lung capacity in a group of patients with emphysema. Parasitic infections and gastrointestinal health: Animal studies suggest that MSM may help lessen parasitic, microbial, and fungal infections at levels of 750 to 1500 mg. daily. MSM probably works by competing for receptor sites on the mucous membrane surface thereby blocking parasite adherence. SIDE EFFECTS MSM is considered very safe. Toxicity is extremely rare. No toxic effects were shown in humans given up to one gram per kilogram of body weight (70 Grams or more) per day for 30 days. MSM is generally non-allergenic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDOSAGE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMSM dissolves most quickly in warm water. Once it is dissolved you can then mix in more water, or add any beverage to disguise the taste. One heaped teaspoon is about 5 grams (5,000mg). We suggest you start with one teaspoon per day of the bulk, and if you don't see some dramatic change in the absence of pain within two days, increase the dosage. Continue increasing the dosage up to 4 heaped teaspoons per day (20 grams). Most people should achieve very dramatic relief from arthritic pain by the time they reach 20 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe proper way to consume MSM, to avoid that bitter taste is to take a spoonful of the bulk MSM and place it on the tip of your tongue. Now quickly consume a large amount of liquid. Water can be used. However, juices will mask any small taste, especially Cranberry Juice, Tomato juice, Orange juice, or any juice that will help hide the taste of the MSM. MSM, when place on the tip of your tongue is tasteless. It is when it dissolves that the taste is so very bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsuming MSM in this manner will allow nearly all of the MSM to dissolve in your stomach, far on the other side of your taste buds! Disguising the taste? None of these juices will adversely affect the results of the MSM.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicoherbs Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37604563812510,"sku":"PuMSDiCrPo1k","price":648.99,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0531\/9091\/8302\/files\/msm_powder_1kg.jpg?v=1753396748"},{"product_id":"hoodia-gordonii-powder-250gr","title":"Hoodia Gordonii Slimming Powder 250g","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"content-type\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE BEST NATURAL HUNGER SUPPRESSANT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe newest most popular weight loss of the year.

In 1937, a Dutch anthropologist studying the San indigenous people in the Kalahari desert near what is now the South Africa-Namibia border noted that they sucked on the Hoodia plant as a hunger suppressant and thirst quencher. These bushmen did not eat on their two to three-day hunts; instead, they munched on the stem of this succulent to suppress their hunger and thirst. The San people --known for their survival skills, rock art, trance-dancing, and mystic symbiosis with their semi-desert or savannah environment can trace their heritage back some 27,000 years on the basis of rock paintings drawn by their ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSCIENTIFIC FACTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree decades ago, South African scientists at a government lab called the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research began studying the Hoodia Gordonii plant and noticed that lab animals eating this plant lost weight, but otherwise did well. The Hoodia Gordonii plant is a succulent that grows throughout the semi-arid areas of Southern Africa. It can grow up to six feet tall. It has large, beautiful flowers, but the flowers Extracts from this succulent have been studied in clinical trials. These studies have shown that obese subjects can reduce their caloric intake by 50% to 40%. Significant weight loss has resulted from such a drop in caloric intake. At least one major pharmaceutical company is pursuing intensive studies on this plant. This major company has already invested millions in acquiring a major supply of this plant.

Normally only the seeds are available but we have finally managed to locate a supply of the actual root which is used by African shamans for accessing the dream state. This has been gathered by the Sangoma (Shaman) who has traveled 800km to pick it himself. It is the best quality from Eastern Cape This sacred plant which shamans of the verdant river valleys of the eastern cape province of South Africa have the ability to induce remarkably vivid dreams. A web site describes this plant: \"This obscure flowering species is regarded by shamans of the South African region as a type of \"Ubulawu\" or medicinal root that they call \"Undela Ziimhlophe,\" which translates literally as \"white paths\" or white ways.\" It is suspected that this sacred plant's oneirongenic, or dream-inducing activity is likely due to triterpenoid saponins contained within its roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelatively small amounts of the root (250 mg range) are reported to be active. The plant exerts only minimal alterations in waking consciousness, yet the effects upon the dream state can be profound. How to prepare Silene capensis (Ubulawu) Method 1 : Half a teaspoon is mixed with half a cup of water. This is drunk early in the morning upon waking, while the stomach is empty. When you feel hungry it is safe to have breakfast. Method 2 : A heaped tablespoon is mixed with half a liter of water, and the water blended until a froth is formed. Keep sucking the froth off the container until you feel bloated with froth, and then go to bed. Expected Results : While sleeping, your dreams will be exceptionally colorful and will be remembered upon awakening. (A good idea is to keep a notebook handy for writing down the results.) Ubulawu is traditionally used to access dream-time and to communicate with one's ancestors. Precautions : Use the recommended amounts only; the actives are active in these doses. Larger amounts will have purgative action, however, there are no fatalities or harmful side effects reported, only good vomiting and cleansing out of the stomach. Small doses over several days will affect even the most insensitive person, so there is no need to take a large amount. Drink it on an empty stomach, and then when you feel hungry, you can eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis will give the alkaloids time to travel through your system. The effects will be felt that night. The alkaloids travel quite slowly through the blood system, so they won't get excreted out during the day. Before going to sleep, focus on a question you want to be answered by the ancestors. One of the ancestors will appear in your dream with the answer. This plant is not just used for vivid dreams but as a divination tool. For more insensitive persons, or for people who use other alkaloids or have other alkaloids in their system. A more `clean' person would be more sensitive. The alkaloids from using some over a few days would build up in your system. A personal report from someone who was initiated as a sangoma (traditional healer) says the group he was with used 1\/5tsp. (powdered) over the course of a week. He felt effects from day 3, and everyone in the group felt effects during the course of this week.

It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels.

Antioxidants block some of the damage caused by free radicals, substances that damage DNA.

Eating foods rich in vitamin C is important for your overall health, especially if you are at risk for high blood pressure. The diet physicians most frequently recommend for treatment and prevention of high blood pressure, known as the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, includes lots of fruits and vegetables, which are loaded with antioxidants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCommon Cold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Despite the popular belief that vitamin C can cure a common cold, scientific evidence doesn't support the notion.

The only other piece of evidence supporting vitamin C for preventing colds comes from studies examining people exercising in extreme environments (athletes such as skiers and marathon runners, and soldiers in the Arctic).

But these foods also contain many beneficial nutrients and antioxidants, not only vitamin C, so it's impossible to say for certain that vitamin C is protecting against cancer.

Antioxidants such as vitamin C appear to limit the damage caused by free radicals. However, that said, no evidence suggests that taking vitamin C supplements will help treat or prevent OA.
