Ionic Sulphur

Sulphur occurs in nature in a free state and in combination as sulfates and sulfides. Five amino acids contain sulfur - methionine, cysteine, cystine, taurine and glutathione. The rest appear as sulfate within body cells, either free or attached to body constituents such as heparin or chondroiton sulfate. The greatest amounts reside in the hair, skin, fingernails, toenails and in joints. Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) is an oxidized form of DMSO and has been used effectively as a rich source of sulfur. 'Active sulfate' - Adenosine 3 phosphate 5 phosphosulfate (PAPs) is the sulfate donor for the formation of sulfated proteoglycans such as chondroiton sulfate and sulfatides in myelin synthesis and as the conjugate in liver sulfation phase 2 detoxification.
