Fibromyalgia — Amino Acids, Msm and Enzymes

It has been discovered that people with fibromyalgia almost always have a protein deficiency which in turn causes an enzyme deficiency as the body uses the amino acids from proteins to manufacture enzymes. Enzymes in turn are used for almost all functions in the body. Studies have also shown that people with fibromyalgia have a sulfur deficiency.

Also prevalent as one of the symptoms of fibromyalgia is hypoglycemia or the inability of the body to metabolize carbohydrates. This symptom is also connected to protein deficiency or the body’s inability to break down protein into amino acids. The pancreas needs these amino acids to produce enzymes so your body can digest the foods you eat. Kind of a “catch 22” sort of situation. When there is an enzyme deficiency foods are not digested properly and your body becomes nutrient deficient.

Proteins when digested properly break down into amino acids. These amino acids are involved in creating enzymes, the growth, repair and maintenance of body tissues, balancing blood sugar, digesting food, the proper functioning of the immune system and the production of hormones

So, when you are protein deficient it causes a huge problem for your body. Fibromyalgia is one of the ways this deficiency manifests itself.
