MSM 1000 mg with OptiMSM, 120 tablets

MSM is essential for life on Earth

MSM is comparatively volatile and is lost when exposed to high temperatures or stored for extended periods. Breast milk represents the most pronounced natural source of MSM. The relevance 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 plant plankton in the seas absorb large amounts of inorganic sulphur from seawater and transform it into a simple organic form. When algae and plankton die, enzymes break down organic sulphur compounds to dimethyl sulfide (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 sulfoxide (DMSO) and further into methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). MSM and DMSO are readily soluble in water. They provide 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 take up DMSO and MSM from rainwater quickly and efficiently through their roots.

Manufacturing process

Despite MSM’s natural origin, obtaining it by natural means would not be practicable. It would not be desirable to fell countless trees. Today, raw materials such as DMSO, water and hydrogen peroxide are used. DMSO is then converted into MSM by means of a complex process. It is of great importance that the manufacturing process used results in a pure end product. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case for MSM production. The costly distillation process, which effectively removes any impurities in the raw materials, is absolutely preferable to the often used (much cheaper) crystallisation process. The quality of OptiMSM® Vitals is based exclusively on MSM from Bergstrom Nutrition (OptiMSM®). Bergstrom has invested for many decades in research into the development, optimisation, production, application and safety of OptiMSM®. It is an ongoing process in which the highest quality is the criterion. Only high-quality materials and raw materials are used in production. In addition, Bergstrom uses a unique multiple-distillation process that is regarded as superior. Production takes place exclusively at a single site in North America. The production facility is dedicated exclusively to MSM manufacture.  Tests are carried out by an independent laboratory after each production step. This method ensures that quality is maintained throughout the entire manufacturing process. The result is a very high-quality MSM product: OptiMSM®. OptiMSM® has proven to be the purest product in all comparative tests.
