Sulphur as a Natural Acne Supplement

It is referred to in the Bible as brimstone and it is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, but sulphur is often forgotten as a crucial element in health, including that of our skin and nails. This vital mineral is a constituent of keratin and collagen - substances in skin, nails and hair - so it's no surprise that they improve when people take supplements in the form of MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane).

So, rather than taking collagen, or using expensive creams that contain it, you're better off supplying your body with the raw materials it needs to make collagen such as MSM (along with vitamin C). Sulphur is needed for new cell formation (your skin is constantly renewing itself), and for keeping the bonds between cells pliable.

It's also a great detoxifier. MSM has been shown not only to enhance the beauty of skin, nails and hair but also to help skin healing (e.g. after bums or wounds), acne, allergies, arthritis and much more. Start by taking 1000mg three times a day.
