Hello, 1.) Methy Sulfonyl Methane or MSM is reputed to increase cell permeability to allow toxins to get out and nutrients to get in. I can attest to the fact that it aids in detoxing. On the advice of a native American tribal chief friend of mine, I took some about a hour before entering a sweat lodge. The sweat burned my eyes it was so loaded with toxins and it smelled like ammonia. That has never happenned before in many previous sweats.
2.) The sulfony is reputed to be the next most abundant substance in the body after protein and is necessary in the synthesis of protein, especially collagin and elastin fibers. Thus it is easy to see why it helps healing of injuries. It stays in the body about 12 hours so it is necessary to take it twice a day to maintain it in the body. It supposedly should be taken with vitamin C. Maybe someone else can shed even more light on the subject.
