MSM gel is based on a formula which has been used for well over ten
years by Stanley Jacob, M.D. Dr. Jacob developed this gel in
order to maximize the benefits of MSM in topical applications, and
he has used it for many years to treat thousands of people. Dr.
Jacob as offered his unique formula to KALA Health, Inc. for
exclusive distribution.
MSM gel's most
popular use is for the temporary relief of joint discomforts in
hands, feet or knees. MSM gel also finds practical application in
most households as first aid in case of minor burns or cuts, as a
skin moisturizer and to use prior to shaving.
For therapeutic
purposes it should be applied to the skin several times daily, and
it works best when supplemented by 6 to 8 grams of MSM tablets or
capsules per day. For general cosmetic purpose, it can be applied as
often as desired. The gel is applied directly to the skin and should
be allowed to completely dry. Wiping is not necessary. There is no
residue, and the MSM gel is readily absorbed into the skin.
Each
bottle contains 250-mL maximum strength MSM gel (15%)
Practical
applications of MSM gel include:
- To help
keep skin soft and free of wrinkles
- To
prevent dry and brittle skin
- To treat
acne in adolescents
- Shaving
gel
- To
prevent scar tissue formation after an injury or burn
- To
shrink and replace old scar tissue with healthy new skin
- To
eliminate discomforts caused by scar tissue due to burns
and abrasions
- To
soften calloused, leathery or cracking soles of the feet
- To use
in combination with, or instead of shaving cream prior
to shaving

HOW
MSM GEL WORKS
The skin is the
body’s largest organ. It consists of a thin outer layer called the
epidermis and a much thicker inner layer, the dermis. Beneath the
dermis is the sub cutis which is an insulating layer of fat. These
skin structures are kept together by a tough fibrous protein called
collagen. Collagen works with fibers of another protein called
elastin, which gives the skin its elasticity. Hair and nails consist
mostly of a tough protein called keratin. The main building block of
keratin is the sulfur containing amino acid cystein. All proteins
require sulfur. MSM
is an organic sulfur-containing nutrient that supports health by
providing nutritionally essential sulfur and methyl groups.
MSM is a small molecule containing 34% elemental sulfur, and is
readily absorbed by the skin and immediately available when applied
as a gel.
Cross Linking
Collagen
fibers in the skin lie in a flat crisscross pattern. Sulfur is
responsible for the flexible bond between cells, including those
that make up the skin. When the body is deficient in sulfur, sulfur
bonds between proteins are not optimal, and cross-linking between
the fibers occurs. MSM is the main natural source of biological
sulfur. Topical supplementation with MSM gel helps to block the
formation of cross-linking or bonding of collagen which is
associated with a tough, aging skin. MSM sulfur allows the body to
produce more sulfur bonds, which results in pliable, wrinkle-free
skin, tougher hair and nails. Many users report that MSM gel makes
their skin smooth and the effect lasts many hours.
Skin Irritations
Many people find relief when MSM gel is applied to problematic skin
conditions. Dr. Stanley Jacob recommends using MSM gel in
combination with MSM tablets or powder.
Dr. Stanley
Jacob's Medical Experience
Over the years, Stanley Jacob, MD has used MSM to treat dozens
of patients who had sustained first or second degree burns. Dr.
Jacob has not treated third degree burns using MSM. He reports good
success using topical MSM to prevent blister formation in second
degree burns. Many, but not all, of these patients took oral MSM
concomitantly. The primary benefit is from topical application.
Also, he found that the pain caused by scarred tissue and adhesions
have dramatically subsided or completely disappeared, sometimes
within a few days (source: MSM, The definitive Guide; 2002. Stanley
Jacob & Jeremy Appleton. Freedom Press.) Dr. Jacob uses a gel
containing 15% MSM, similar to the gel formula offered by KALA
Health, Inc. |
