End Fatigue
MSM Raises Glutathione Levels
In our article on arthritis, we talked about a mix of nutrients that can dramatically decrease arthritis pain over six weeks. One of these is a simple and cheap nutrient called MSM. This sulfur containing compound helps supply the sulfur needed for the proteins which heal tissues. Another recent study showed that MSM also suppresses inflammation and the inflammatory molecules (cytokines) that cause inflammation. Now a new study shows that MSM also increases the critical antioxidant, glutathione. Many people theorize that glutathione deficiency is one of the key common underlying problems which causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
