OptiMSM Nutrition

Don’t just work at your desk. Make your desk work for you.

People spend on average 5 hours and 41 minutes sitting at a desk each day🤯 Any prolonged sitting is generally not recommended, but it’s even worse if seated posture is biomechanically unbalanced.

Simple changes to your desk setup can protect the joints and may prevent the development of musculoskeletal problems later on.

Prevention can go beyond just lifestyle. If you’re considering supplemental interventions to support the joints, try OptiMSM®, a high-quality form of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and bioavailable source of sulfur.

Calling all nature enthusiasts!🌳

If the chill in the air won’t stop you from getting outside, neither should your joints.

Strong, healthy joints are required to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or simply walking with ease🚶‍♀️ The cumulative effects of weight loading and normal wear-and-tear make joint health important to everyone, at any age.

Sulfur is a mineral that helps maintain the strength and flexibility of the joints by acting as a sulfur donor for collagen synthesis, a core structural component of the joints, cartilage, and connective tissues💪

OptiMSM® is a form of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and a source of sulfur. A recent double-blind, randomized clinical trial found that daily oral supplementation with 2000 mg of MSM significantly reduced pain scores in individuals presenting with mild knee pain compared with placebo after just 12 weeks.

Some sulfur-containing compounds, like glutathione (GSH), effectively maintain this line of defence against free radicals. The enzyme glutamate-cysteine regulates the first step of GSH synthesis. Also viewed as the rate-limiting step, this enzyme is inhibited by the availability of cysteine (a sulfur-containing amino acid) in the extracellular environment. Cysteine can be derived from diet or supplemental sources, protein breakdown, or conversion of dietary methionine (another sulfur-containing amino acid) in the liver.

When the supply of cysteine is adequate, the body can maintain normal GSH levels for homeostasis to help you age gracefully.

OptiMSM® is a form of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a naturally occurring nutrient composed of sulfur, methyl, and oxygen groups. MSM provides a bioavailable source of sulfur to bolster glutathione synthesis by ensuring the availability of sulfur-containing amino acids, cysteine, and methionine.

It's no secret that when you look good, you feel good! 💁‍♀️

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is the unsung hero, providing essential sulfur for the formation of the skin matrix. Within our skin, precious sulfur-rich compounds like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and keratohyalin work tirelessly to maintain hydration and elasticity. Sulfur also steps up as a champion for glutathione antioxidant pathways, countering the effects of aging-related collagen density loss due to oxidative stress.

OptiMSM® through oral supplementation may lead to improvements in elasticity and hydration within 16 weeks!

OptiMSM® is the epitome of and it graces various skin formulations, both topical and ingestible, around the globe. Keep an eye out for the logo!

🍁 Embrace Fall without Compromising Hair Health! 🍂

As the temperatures drop, it's time to amp up your hair care game! Here are some tips to keep your locks luscious and vibrant:

1️⃣ Opt for a deeply moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to shield your hair from the harsh effects of cold, dry weather. This protective barrier is key! ❄️

2️⃣ Before styling with hot tools like flat irons or curling wands, apply a heat-protectant serum. It's a game-changer for safeguarding your strands. 🔥

3️⃣ Fuel your body with protein-rich goodness! Keratin, the building block of hair, nails, and skin, thrives on protein. Incorporate chicken, eggs, fish, or plant-based options like soy, legumes, and nuts into your diet. Your hair will thank you! 🥚🥦

🌟 Unlocking the Secrets to Radiant Hair! 🌟

Dispelling the Myth: Genetics isn't the only factor in hair aging. Environmental influences matter too!

Just like our skin, our hair follicles undergo a renewal process. Stem cells respond to regenerative cues, influencing hair production and pigmentation. As these cells age, their responsiveness decreases, leading to brittleness and greying.

Premature aging within the scalp might be linked to prolonged exposure to oxidative stress. This can be caused by chemical-based hair products, environmental pollutants, or even emotional stress-triggering pathways that disrupt normal hair growth.

🔬 Research Alert! 🔬

A recent clinical trial featuring OptiMSM® revealed that a daily oral supplementation of 1000 mg led to remarkable hair diameter and thickness improvements in 41 subjects with stress-induced hair loss. This was assessed using objective phototrichogram analysis .

OptiMSM may act as a vital sulfur donor to antioxidant pathways and supports the structural molecule of hair, keratin.

Fun Fact: OptiMSM® is found in both topical products and ingestible oral supplements worldwide, making it a powerhouse ingredient in . It champions an inside-out and outside-in approach to ultimate hair health!

ATTENTION ALL COMPETITIVE DANCERS🚨

This is your sign to start taking care of your bones and joints.

Professional dancing places high strain on the musculoskeletal system. Excess ligament and joint laxity, while often coveted, can place dancers at greater risk for poor joint stability and future injury. Further, prolonged periods of exercise combined with low food intake leaves the body with insufficient fuel for regular bone maintenance and hormone production, increasing the risk of low bone density and stress fractures.

With the right nutrition plan, you can get all the support you need. Nutrients like protein, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K can all be found in animal- and plant-based food sources, and vitamin D from food or as little as 9 minutes of sunlight exposure each day.

Sulfur is a mineral that helps to maintain the structure and strength of the joints, ligaments, bone, and connective tissues as a key player in collagen synthesis. Plant sources of sulfur include the cruciferous vegetables, however modern agricultural practices have reduced sulfur concentrations in the soil, and thereby the plants. Nutritional supplementation is often considered in such cases when diet alone is insufficient.

OptiMSM® is a form of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a bioavailable source of sulfur.

Does this describe you right now? Then listen up.

Too much sitting isn’t good for anyone, yet it seems to be common practice – at the office, on the commute, and at home.

Interrupting prolonged sitting with low-to-moderate intensity activity might prevent joint stiffness, reduce discomfort, and possibly improve cognitive function by mitigating the ill-effects associated with excessive sitting.

You can further support the health of the joints with nutritional supplementation. OptiMSM® is a source of sulfur, a mineral required for the maintenance and structural integrity of the joints, cartilage, and connective tissue.
