Doctors Formula MSM + Vitamin C 60caps
Doctors Formulas created a formula based on MSM and Vitamin C that contributes to the normal formation of collagen and the normal function of cartilages.
MSM is an organic form of sulfur and a powerful antioxidant.
The main mechanism of action of MSM is the provision of sulfur. Sulfur is critical to the formation of connective tissue. It strengthens connective tissue by forming cross-linkages called disulfide bonds that are the links in chains of glycosaminoglycan that build cartilage (Jacob & Appleton, 2003).
Evidence of this mechanism is visible in a Study by Richmond in 1986, who confirmed that sulfur from MSM was incorporated into serum proteins through donation of sulfur molecule. MSM blocks the inflammatory process and increases the activity of cortisol (Jacob & Appleton, 2003).
Thirty-four percent of MSM is made up of elemental sulfur. Sulfur is needed for the formulation of connective tissues and the concentration of sulfur in the cartilage subjected to inflammation, has shown to be one third of the concentration level when compared to normal cartilage.
After calcium and phosphorous, sulfur is the third most abundant element in the human body. Almost half of the total amount of sulfur is found in the muscular tissue, the skin and the bones.
Vitamin C serves as an electron donor for some enzymes, three of which participate in collagen hydroxylation.
