Re: I feel like "I USED to be pretty"

You will never know what will work unless you try it.

I would take MSM tablets or capsules. It would not cost an arm and a leg to try.
120 capsules would cost $9.99 for 1000 mg capsules.

8 oz of the cream cost the same.
Using MSM cream on the skin can help too, but it will work without the cream.

MSM is high in sulphur, Most visible skin problems are the result of the body being low on sulphur.


ADDITIONAL FACTS ABOUT ORGANIC SULFUR

Because nutritional sulfur helps keep skin, hair and nails healthy, it has been referred to as "Nature's Beauty Mineral."

Sulfur is a mineral found in rather high concentrations in our body tissues. About half of the body's total sulfur is concentrated in the muscles, while the other half is found in the brain, hair, skin and bones. Sulfur comprises 0.25 percent of our body weight.


Sulfur has a vital relationship with protein, since sulfur is found in the amino acids methionine, cystine, and cysteine. Thus, these amino acids are known as the sulfur bearing amino acids which are considered the building blocks of protein.


The sulfur-bearing amino acid methionine is absolutely essential to health! This means is must be supplied by live food, or the food supplement MSM. A lack of proper protein in our diet, therefore means a lack of the vital organic sulfur necessary for good health. Proteins contain sulfur, while carbohydrates and fats do not.


Sulfur is necessary for collagen synthesis. Collagen is an insoluble fibrous protein found in vertebrates. It is the dominant component of connective tissue fibrils and bones. Sulfur operates as a synthesizer and activator with the B vitamins, thiamin, Vitamin C, biotin, and pantothenic acid, all of which are needed for metabolism and healthy nerves.


Sulfur plays an important part in tissue breathing, the process whereby oxygen and other substances are used to build cells and release energy.


Sulfur also helps to maintain overall body balance between acidity and alkalinity, and works importantly with the liver to excrete bile.


Research indicates that perhaps sulfur's most important health role is in carbohydrate metabolism, which is significant for hypoglycemics and diabetics. Sulfur is a significant component of insulin, the protein hormone secreted by the pancreas that is essential to the metabolism of carbohydrates. A lack of nutritional sulfur in the diet can result in low insulin production. On the other hand, a diet that contains adequate amounts of sulfur might increase the body's ability to produce insulin to the point where insulin injections can be reduced.
