Dimethyl sulfone as a dietary supplement

Dimethyl sulfone is an organic sulfide with the molecular formula C2H6O2S, which is essential for the synthesis of collagen in the human body. MSM is contained in human skin, hair, nails, bones, muscles and various organs. The human body consumes 0.5mg of MSM per day, and a deficiency can cause health disorders or diseases. Therefore, it is used in large quantities abroad as a health care medicine and is the main drug for maintaining the biological sulphur balance in the human body.

Therefore, it is used in large quantities abroad as a health drug and is the main drug for maintaining the balance of biological sulphur elements in the human body.

Main uses as a high temperature solvent for inorganic and organic substances; raw material for organic synthesis; raw material for food additives and health products, also used as a fixing solution for gas chromatography (maximum use temperature 30°C, solvent acetone) and analytical reagents.

High boiling solvents, polar solvents, selective solvents for extractive distillation, solvents for electroplating baths, solvents for inks and adhesives.

Sulphur is the most abundant element in the human body, apart from carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. Sulfur deficiency is associated with disease. For this reason, a patent for the use of dimethylsulfone in food and medicine was filed as early as 1985, and studies on the use of dimethylsulfone in food and medicine have since been reported. Studies have shown that dimethyl sulfone is an excellent adjunct to many diseases as a dietary supplement. Human food originally contained considerable amounts of dimethylsulfone. However, because many foods (vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk, seafood, etc.) lose dimethylsulfone during transportation and storage.

More importantly, people lose large amounts of dimethyl sulfone during thermal processing (steaming, boiling, frying, deep-frying, stir-frying, baking, etc.) when consuming them. As a result, many people are unable to obtain metabolically required amounts of dimethylsulfone from their diet, which can cause certain health problems. In countries such as the USA and Canada, dietary supplements based on dimethylsulfone have been offered to supplement the dimethylsulfone deficit in the diet. Studies have shown that as a supplement, dimethylsulfone has been shown to be more effective for the following health problems.
