Analgesic effects
Increase blood circulation

Softening of collagen
Reduces scar tissue
Reduces muscle spasms

This is important chemical conversion, since excess Homocysteine has been discovered to lead to arteriosclerosis, an inflammatory condition, Alzheimer's, and rheumatoid arthritis, another inflammatory condition.

Here's how to use MSM supplements.

For serious inflammatory conditions use 6000 - 10,000 mg. When I use up to 10,000 mg, I find that I have around 4 bowel movements per day. So if you have loose bowel movements, you can back off a little.

For daily maintenance of inflammation in your body use 2000 mg.

You can take these with or without food. If you have a sensitive stomach, take MSM after your meal. Some people experience stomach upsets when not taken with food.

Some side effects have been observed in people that are taking pain killers like aspirin, heparin, dicumerol.

MSM supplements can be purchased in 1000 mg torpedo size. It's a nice small size, allowing you to easily swallow them and quickly take 2000 mg by taking two torpedoes.
