Re: Sulfur, Edit

Ok, I know the brainfog days. I will try to explain it in a more edible way.

-Sulfur make our cells absorb the nutrients better, due to its effect on the cell wall itself. Makes it more permeable.

"Sulfur is necessary for cell membrane permeability by regulating sodium potassium pump. "

-and here i got the AHA moment. This would be very important for us saltloading people! link underneath..

"Sulfur is important to cellular respiration, as it is needed in the oxidation-reduction reactions that help the cells utilize oxygen, which aids brain function and all cell activity."


Sulfur is a key to utilize vit D. The cholesterol needs to be sulfurized, so do the vit D.

"Sulfur is present in four amino acids: methionine, an essential amino acid; the nonessential cystine and cysteine, which can be made from methionine; and taurine, which is not part of body tissues but does help produce bile acid for digestion. Sulfur is also present in two B vitamins, thiamine and biotin; interestingly, thiamine is important to skin and biotin to hair. Sulfur is also available as various sulfates or sulfides. But overall, sulfur is most important as part of protein.

"As part of four amino acids, sulfur performs a number of functions in enzyme reactions and protein synthesis. It is necessary for formation of collagen, the protein found in connective tissue in our bodies. Sulfur is also present in keratin, which is necessary for the maintenance of the skin, hair, and nails, helping to give strength, shape, and hardness to these protein tissues"
