MSM, a natural form of sulphur, is often referred to as the ‘beauty mineral’. While the nutrient is found in green leafy vegetables, many of us are deficient in MSM, so it may be wise to consider a supplement to boost levels. It helps with the formation of collagen, elastin, cartilage and keratin, benefitting the skin, nails and hair.
