Dietary and pharmaceutical uses of methyl-sulfonylmethane and compositions comprising it
Abstract
Methylsulfonylmethane (CH(3) SO(2) CH(3)) administered orally is effective in ameliorating the symptoms of gastrointestinal upset, e.g., produced by the ingestion of aspirin and other pharmaceuticals, and of allergic reactions. Oral compositions containing a mixture of such a pharmaceutical and methylsulfonylmethane are useful in avoiding the gastrointestinal upset which otherwise occurs when ingesting the former.
