SULFONIL is a food supplement based on Methyl Sulfonyl Methane and Vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, for the normal function of bones and for the normal function of cartilage. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of gums, of teeth and of skin. Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
WARNINGS: keep out of the reach of children under the age of three years. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The product should be used in the context of a varied and well-balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
USE: 4 capsules daily
NOTES: The METHYL SULFONYL METHANE is a natural form of organic sulfur, which has the chemical formula CH3SO2CH3. This is the form in which the sulfur is present in nature, in all living organisms, where it acts as biologically-active substance. The Methyl Sulfonyl Methane is a odourless powder, white and crystalline, highly soluble in hot water and existing in a wide variety of organic solvents. The organic sulfur, biologically active, possesses incredible therapeutic and preventive properties. It has so complete and based on so clear principles medicinal properties, that its discovery is usually ranked among the most important progress made by orthomolecular medicine in the second half of the twentieth century. After calcium and phosphorus, sulfur is, in order of quantity, the third mineral present in the human body. In an adult individual there are approximately 140 grams of sulfur which are used, almost half, by muscle tissues, skin and bones. When vegetables absorb the methyl sulfonyl methane from the rain, they transforms it into sulfured amino acids, or methionine and cysteine. Taurine and cystine, the other two amino acids sulfur-containing, are synthesized by cysteine. Our body produces about 80% of the amino acids it needs; these are called non-essential amino acids. The remaining 20% of amino acids, the essential ones, must be taken from food and it includes the methionine and cysteine. The amino acids we known are about 28. Each kind of protein consists of a single amino acids series, which is arranged in a specific combination. Two molecules of cysteine can oxidise and join by means of bonds of sulfur (-S-S- ). These links are key elements in proteins structure, determining their shape, properties, and its biological activity. Fingernails and hair are mainly consist of a very resistant protein, with a high sulfur content, called keratin. Flexible tissues such as the connective tissue and cartilaginous tissue contain proteins with flexible bonds of sulfur. Collagen is the protein that is found in greater quantities in our body, as well as the main component of all connective tissues. It provides elasticity to the skin, interacting with the fibers of another protein called elastin. In cartilage, glucosamine, chondroitin and proteoglycans, containing sulfur, form, together with collagen, a fibrous proteic substance that constitutes the structure of the collagen itself and makes it flexible. Experiments on methyl sulfonyl methane, with radioactive tracers, have demonstrated that, after having been ingested, the methyl sulfonyl Methane binds to mucous membranes. In fact, it seems that the methyl sulfonyl methane is directed toward receptor sites on the surface of the mucous membrane in the intestinal tract, urogenital tract and the respiratory system, thus constituting a security interface between the host and the outside environment. These natural interactions have several useful implications for our health: allergens and parasites may not reach the mucous membranes. Toxins are oxidised and free radicals are deleted. The sulfur is called "the mineral of beauty" of nature, an essential element for the production of collagen and keratin, that are necessary proteins for the health and the defence of skin, nail and hair. Several experiments have demonstrated that all types of skin diseases, often related to allergies, respond positively to a diet supplemented with methyl sulfonyl methane. It is demonstrated that taking orally Methyl Sulfonyl Methane is effective against the juvenile acne and rosacea, against dry skin, scaly or irritated skin. If it is applied locally, in the form of gel or lotion, the Methyl Sulfonyl Methane is useful in skin disorders treatments such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, dandruff, scabies, erythema due to diaper and various fungal infections. Even scars, if caused by operations and burns, if treated locally with gel made of Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (see ULCE Gel), respond positively. Recent scars can heal in such a perfect way to be virtually invisible, in older scars you can have very good improvements.
