MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane)
is an organic form of bio-available sulphur, which is naturally present in the
cells of all plants and animals. It is often deficient in the diet of horses as
it is easily destroyed by haymaking and feed production processes. The addition
of MSM to the daily diet can lead to a great improvement in general health,
particularly for horses in hard work or of advancing age.
MSM is usually linked to joint mobility and the relief of pain and stiffness,
but sulphur plays a much wider role in all round condition.
Sulfur is a component of
protein Keratin found in nails, hair and skin. Sulfur is essential for the
production of collagen, which is a primary constituent of cartilage and
connective tissue. It is needed for the synthesis of connective tissue, enzymes
and immunoglobulin. It is also needed to form serum proteins radicals. Sulfur
is a significant component of Insulin, the protein hormone secreted by the
pancreas that is essential to the metabolism of carbohydrates.
It is a constituent of
vitamins, co-enzymes and antioxidants, which boost the immune system and may
give relief from allergies and skin disorders.
