What is MSM?

Science corner time!!

In recent conversations, curiosity has been piqued around some of our featured supplements, so it felt like a great time to talk about the highlights surrounding MSM.

What is MSM, and why is it all up in HeadPlant?

MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is a sulfur containing compound found in plants, animals, and humans. Sulfur is an essential mineral for the body, playing a role in protein structure, tissue health, and collagen formation. You’ll find it in the likes of kale and Brussels sprouts!

Why do we love it?

•Reduces inflammation

•Boosts collagen in the skin

•Offers joint relief

•Supports arthritis relief

•Supports rosacea-prone skin

•Helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles

•Touted as a cancer fighter

•Hydrates the skin

•Strengthens keratin

•Improves skin tone and texture

•Reduces photoaging (after sun care)

This makes HeadPlant a great support for muscle recovery because of MSM’s anti inflammatory effects, as well as its potential sulfur contribution to connective tissue. Studies have shown that endurance exercise, induced muscle damage was reduced with MSM supplementation.

So try one of our soaks, immerse yourself in the emollient cream, and/or lather up with our soaps and enjoy the level up!
