MSM is a naturally occurring form of
sulfur with anti-inflammatory properties
said to rival aspirin and non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This
is good news for those who suffer with
pain associated with fibromyalgia.
Additionally, studies at UCLA found that
people using MSM for 6 weeks experienced
80% relief from their pain. MSM is a compound
that can be taken orally or formulated
into creams or gels and used topically
by those with or without fibromyalgia.
MSM and Fibromyalgia
MSM has provided relief for many people, even those
with fibromyalgia without the risks associated with
NSAIDS, such as ulcers or liver damage. It has worked
either on its own or in combination with other joint
support supplements.
Many Naturopathic Physicians will recommend MSM among
other therapies for the sufferers of fibromyalgia,
as it has been shown for many to help reduce the terrible
muscle pain. While some fibromyalgia sufferers may
not be able to completely stop taking other pain control
medications, adding MSM may allow them to reduce their
dosage of them.
Furthermore, those with fibromyalgia commonly experience
tension headaches. MSM may be helpful in reducing
the muscle spasms and shoulder/neck tension that can
get a headache going and keep it going. This is where
the cream can be especially helpful.

The Benefits of MSM Plus Cream
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a basic element essential
to many structures and functions of the human body,
especially the joints, cartilage, and tendons.
MSM also plays a role in supporting healthy levels
of collagen and keratin, which are important substances
in healthy looking skin. Life-Flo’s maximum
strength natural MSM Plus Cream contains 15% MSM.
MSM is a naturally occurring, dietary sulfur compound
found in all living things. Sulfur is present in every
cell in the human body, and is the eighth-most common
compound in the body. It makes up about 1% of a persons
body weight, and is critical to the normal function
and structure of the human body. It is a raw material
needed for the natural production of protein and connective
tissue. Sulfur aids in developing healthy levels of
collagen and keratin, both of which are needed for
the optimum health of skin, hair, and nails.
MSM plays a major role in skin care and may promote
smoother, firmer looking skin. It is also an excellent
skin softener with anti-wrinkle properties when combined
with dipalmitoyl hydroyproline – a new generation
natural compound derived from grafting a fatty acid
with an amino acid.
MSM Plus combines MSM and Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline,
a lipo amino acid which is naturally present in the
skin, in a cream. Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline supports
the growth and contraction of the collagen fiber network
of the skin. The result may be flexible, firmer, younger-looking
skin.
MSM Plus Cream can help with:
- Helps support muscles, cartilage,
tendons, and joints
- Helps support healthy levels of collagen
and keratin
- Support for skin softening and firming
- Helps to temporarily reduce pain and
inflammation
Other Uses for MSM
MSM is known to improve many health issues. Many
medical practioners use MSM to help with joint function

- Fibromyalgia
- Osteoarthritis

to help relieve some of the symptoms and discomfort
that are associated with them. For example:
- Helps reduce muscle soreness and cramps
