MSM 1000 mg with OptiMSM, 120 tablets

MSM is essential for life on Earth

MSM is relatively volatile and is lost when exposed to high temperatures or stored for prolonged periods . Breast milk is the most significant natural source of MSM. The importance of MSM for life on Earth is enormous.  Life on Earth as we know it would not be possible without MSM.  MSM is produced naturally as part of the global sulphur cycle: algae and phytoplankton in the oceans absorb large quantities of inorganic sulphur from seawater and transform it into a simple organic form.  When algae and plankton die, enzymes break down organic sulphur compounds into dimethyl sulphide (DMS). This is a volatile substance that is only sparingly soluble in water.  It therefore accumulates in the atmosphere, where it is converted by ultraviolet light and ozone into dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and further into methylsulphonylmethane (MSM). MSM and DMSO dissolve readily in water.  They act as the necessary condensation nuclei for the formation of raindrops . No clouds form and therefore there is no rain if DMSO and MSM are not present in the air.  Trees and plants absorb DMSO and MSM from rainwater quickly and efficiently via their roots.

Manufacturing process

Despite the natural origin of MSM, extraction by natural means would not be practicable. It would not be desirable to fell countless trees. Nowadays, DMSO, water and hydrogen peroxide are used as raw materials.  DMSO is then converted into MSM using a complex process. It is of great importance that the manufacturing process used results in a pure end product. Unfortunately, however, this does not seem to be the case in the production of MSM.  The expensive distillation process, which effectively removes any impurities in the raw materials, is far preferable to the commonly used (much cheaper) crystallisation process.The quality of OptiMSM® Vitals is based exclusively on MSM from Bergstrom Nutrition (OptiMSM®). Bergstrom has invested over many decades in research into the development, optimisation, production, application and safety of OptiMSM®.  This is an ongoing process in which the highest quality is the paramount criterion. Only high-quality materials and raw materials are used in production. Furthermore, Bergstrom employs a unique multiple-distillation process, which is regarded as superior.  Production takes place exclusively at a single site, namely in North America. The production facility is dedicated solely to MSM manufacturing.Tests are carried out by an independent laboratory after each stage of production .  This method ensures that quality is maintained throughout the entire manufacturing process. The result is a very high-quality MSM product: OptiMSM®. OptiMSM® has emerged as the purest product in all comparative tests.
