Formula for natural collagen formation, for normal cartilage function
With age, the flexible tissues in our body tend to lose their elasticity, the ducts become less flexible and the joints begin to have difficulty moving. The biological activity of proteins and the preservation of their shape, need the presence of sulfur. Connective tissue and cartilage contain proteins with flexible sulfur bonds, which gives them structural flexibility. In addition to protein, sulfur is required for the proper structure and biological activity of enzymes. If there is not enough sulfur in our body, the enzymes can not function properly. It is also involved in the synthesis of important metabolic intermediates for the production of glutathione, which is an important antioxidant enzyme.
MSM is an organic form of sulfur and is a powerful antioxidant. The main mechanism of action of MSM is the supply of sulfur, which is one of the main components of connective tissue. It strengthens the connective tissue by forming junctions called disulfide bonds, which are the links in the chains of glucosacinoglycans that make up cartilage (Jacob & Appleton, 2003). Evidence of this mechanism comes from a study by Richmond in 1986, which found that sulfur from MSM was incorporated into serum proteins through a donation of the sulfur limit. MSM complicates the inflammatory process and increases the action of cortisol (Jacob & Appleton, 2003). 34% of MSM is composed of elemental sulfur. Sulfur is needed to form connective tissue, and the concentration of sulfur in the cartilage that is inflamed has one third of the concentration level compared to normal cartilage. After calcium and phosphorus, sulfur is the third most abundant element in the body. Almost half of all sulfur is contained in the Tissue tissue, skin and bones.
Flexible tissues, such as connective tissue and cartilage, contain proteins with flexible sulfur bonds. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, and is an important component of all connective tissue. In the skin, collagen works with the fibers of another protein called elastin, which give the skin its elasticity. In cartilage, the sulfur contained in the proteoglycans glucosamine and chondroitin, forms in collagen, a fibrous protein that gives cartilage its structure and flexibility.
Vitamin C acts as an electron donor for certain enzymes, three of which are involved in the hydroxylation of collagen.
DOCTORS FORMULAS, has created a formula with MSM and Vitamin C, which contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the normal function of cartilage.
