Dear Friends,
In this letter, we’re spotlighting a nutrient that’s been quietly helping people look and feel their best — but doesn’t always get the attention it deserves.
It’s called MSM, which stands for methylsulfonylmethane.
While that’s a mouthful, what you really need to know is that MSM is a natural, sulfur-containing compound found in plants, animals — and yes, even us humans.
Sulfur might not sound glamorous - I always associate it with a rotten egg smell - but it’s actually essential to life.
For example, sulfur plays a major role in maintaining healthy skin, connective tissue, joints, cells, and hair.
So if you’re interested in looking better AND feeling better, you’ll want to stick with me for the next few minutes.
Best MSM for Supplements
Our favorite form of MSM for supplements is called OptiMSM, and it’s one of the reasons why our TrueNuGrow+ formula can deliver such a powerful boost to your hair, skin, and nails — while also giving your joints and muscles a helping hand.
Let’s start with hair, skin, and nail benefits as MSM is often called the “beauty mineral” for good reason.
It plays a key role in the production of collagen, elastin, and keratin — the structural proteins that keep your skin firm and elastic, your hair strong, and your nails resilient – so they don’t break or crack so easily.
Even better, OptiMSM can help promote the production of hyaluronic acid — the compound that helps your skin retain moisture and stay hydrated.
This can improve skin softness and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Think plumper, smoother skin from the inside out.
OptiMSM also can help support blood circulation in the scalp, which helps create the right environment for healthy, thicker hair to grow.
Research Reveals OptiMSM Hair & Skin Benefits
For skin, research studies with OptiMSM have shown it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin firmness, and increase skin hydration and elasticity.
In fact, one 16-week study found that participants had visibly fewer crow’s feet, better skin tone, and less wrinkle severity with OptiMSM supplementation.
And on top of that, users also reported better nail strength and better overall hair appearance.
A second study published in the Natural Medicine Journal found that individuals who supplemented with MSM for 4 months had increased hair volume, shine, and better overall appearance.
It’s believed that a key factor in this hair health support is how MSM can promote keratin production, helping hair grow stronger and healthier from the root.
It’s always interesting how well our bodies can respond when it’s given the right nutrients.
OptiMSM May Enhance Effects of Collagen
One more study tidbit for you – most recently researchers found that MSM can enhance collagen’s effects.
In the study, adding MSM to collagen improved skin hydration, thickness, and roughness more than collagen alone.
You’ll be happy to know that our TrueNuGrow+ contains both OptiMSM and marine collagen, along with keratin and about 10 other key nutrients.
It truly is unique and unrivalled when it comes to hair and skin supplements. But OptiMSM isn’t just about looks — it’s a powerful antioxidant too.
It helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress — which is one of the leading causes of premature aging and collagen breakdown.
In case you don’t know, one of the most important antioxidants in our body is glutathione.
The sulfur in MSM is a key building block for glutathione, and supports the production of glutathione in the body, which helps protect your cells from oxidative damage.
This antioxidant action helps preserve skin structure, but also supports your immune system and promotes healthy aging and a better health span.
One study even noted that MSM supplementation increased levels of glutathione in as little as 2 weeks.
That’s the kind of fast cellular support that helps keep your skin cells, joints, and immune system performing at a high level.
Joint Comfort and Exercise Recovery
OptiMSM has been shown to help reduce joint discomfort and everyday stiffness, while promoting joint flexibility.
In addition, OptiMSM helps ease soreness after activity and can help your body recover from exercise.
This makes OptiMSM especially useful for those of us who like to stay active — whether it’s walking, going to the gym, playing pickleball, or just keeping up with kids or the grandkids.
The joint comfort and muscle recovery support MSM provides is a nice bonus on top of better-looking hair and skin.
Unmatched Purity
In addition to its scientific backing, the way OptiMSM is made sets it apart from other supplement options.
It goes through a proprietary 4-stage distillation process — not just crystallization — to reach 99.9% purity.
That means no hidden contaminants, and excellent consistency from batch to batch.
It’s also highly bioavailable, meaning a significant portion can reach the bloodstream where your body can put it to good use.
OptiMSM is made right here in the U.S., under strict quality controls – and in case you’re wondering, no, it’s not going to make you smell like rotten eggs.
Sulfur is actually odorless, the bad smell results from a chemical reaction that occurs when it’s combined with other substances. This is not a concern when taking our supplement.
Put it all together, and you can see why we made OptiMSM a cornerstone of the TrueNuGrow+ formula.
It helps you look better, feel better, and age better — inside and out.
Yours for Good Health,
Carl Pradelli
