As the third most abundant mineral in the body, sulfur is a versatile, critical chemical. The naturally occurring substance is actually brittle and odorless—despite its reputation for being anything but. What gives sulfur a pungent scent is a number of fragrant compounds, including hydrogen sulfide—which cause its infamous “rotten eggs” smell.
Despite its less-than-pretty reputation, this life-sustaining element is a superstar in the body and crucial to many of its functions—serving as the base behind the production and protection of DNA, proteins, and cells that fend off and prevent serious illnesses like cancer, and a key addition to a well-nourished life, supporting everything from your metabolism to the health of your tendons and ligaments.
The Science Behind Sulfur
Sulfur is an organic source of the potent anti-inflammatory compound Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which is found in cruciferous veggies like arugula, cauliflower, kale, and rutabaga (that happen to star in dishes like our Full Heart Brassica Bowl, Buckwheat & Shaved Brussels Salad, and Pasta a la Vodka with Kale Parmesan). By supporting cellular development, blood oxygenation, and metabolism, sulfur is instrumental in achieving optimal health. Here are just a few examples:
