Sulfur Defense, Pure 99.9% MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) Crystals, 1 Pound, Case Pack of 12

Sulfur is one of the "miracle minerals" that solves many health problems because we are all deficient in it. It has been stripped from our soils in the USA and has not been replaced [think synthetic, industrial fertilizers]. If the sulfur is not in the soil, it won't be in the plant foods either - not for people, not for animals - and therefore not in the animal foods as well. The lack of sulfur in our diet is not the only problem we Americans face, magnesium is another big one, but sulfur is one of them.This is high quality sulfur - and yes, I actually have tested it! You can too, here's how: dissolve a small amount in hot water in a shallow dish or clear glass and let the water evaporate. Are the crystals that form long and needle-like? Are they clear and sparkly? If so, you have good clean sulfur. If your crystals are short and fat, if they are covered in what appears to be a powdery residue, if they are small, if they aren't crystals at all but a white powdery sludge that crawls up the side of your container and possibly over the rim and down the other side as if it is a living thing - you have garbage sulfur. I have tested 4 brands, one more expensive than this one, and only this one was pure sulfur. I observed all of these other things happening in the other 3 brands. Interestingly, Swanson's own brand was the second best, beating out Raw Power which was the worst!The general guidelines for dosing are to take 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 teasp. per 100lbs of body weight. As an example, a 150b person would want to take 2-2.25 teasp. per dose. You take it twice a day, first thing in the morning and again in the late afternoon. For some, if it is taken too late it may keep them awake making sleep difficult. You can also take more per dose; the sicker you are, the more you need to address the issue(s). Sometimes people can back off of high doses once they are much better, sometimes not.Friends, if you value your health, this is the brand to buy, period. It is the very best quality, and though there are a couple of others that are also good, this one is affordably priced, especially when bought in bulk.~ Molly Malone

Great stuff for your body.

I cannot say enough about this product!! I am a very overweight person with a few chronic health problems and I heard all the wonderful things about MSM online and decided to take the plunge and order some. Three months ago I started taking it and the results are absolutely staggering. I have not had this much energy in years. I feel like I'm young again and I wake up everyday ready to go. My heartburn stopped completely, my skin looks healthier, my energy levels are so high I don't even want to go to bed at night, and my joints, especially my knees, ache way less. In fact, if I skip a morning taking it, I immeditely notice.I found the key for me was to start with a smaller dose than recommended. The first time I took it, I used a teaspoon and I became very nauseous so I started with a 1/4 teaspoon and worked my way up over two and half weeks to a full teaspoon every morning. I also found that their recommendation for filtered water is incredibly important. If I don't use it, I notice that my energy is down because the supplement isn't working as well. I mix it with about two ounces of cranberry juice in a double shot glass because that masks the flavor pretty well (the one downside to the supplement is that it tastes disgusting, but I guess that's the payoff) and I drink that and then chase it with another six ounces of water. I also found that if it makes my stomach queesy, eating some breakfast immediately afterwards quells the feeling.I know that the product makes the body go through a sort of detox and my first week, I peed like crazy. The first three days, I peed like every hour at least and more urine than I even thought possible. It actually freaked me out, but then after a few days I felt so good I just continued. Figured I'd just throw this in there in case anyone else had the same thing happen to them.Lastly, I know some take it at bedtime because the product recommends that, but I haven't tried yet because I'm worried I won't be able to sleep. Either way, good luck and I hope it works for you as well as it has for me!
