The Healthful Benefits of OptiMSM®
OptiMSM® is a naturally occurring organic sulfur source, displaying a variety of health-promoting benefits.

Several pre-clinical and clinical studies support the efficacy of MSM in supporting joint health and range of motion. Research shows that MSM protects the body's cartilage and also down-regulates inflammatory markers that damage cartilage as we age.
MSM supports healthy connective tissues like tendons, ligaments, and muscle. MSM softens leathery internal tissues by rebuilding connective tissue with elastic sulfur bonds. This is how MSM lives up to its reputation of building collagen and maintaining healthy joints. This is also why MSM increases flexibility (good for yoga), hastens recovery time from sore muscles, and is excellent for recovery from athletic injuries.
MSM works to build collagen, helping to create smooth skin, thick lustrous hair, and strong nails. MSM makes the tissues more permeable so that they may move nutrients in and toxins out with greater ease. MSM has a remarkable effect at neutralizing foreign proteins (i.e. allergens, toxins, undigested food) making it anti-inflammatory. MSM works to enhance beauty and restore vitality to our skin and joints.
This MSM comes to you as a pure white crystaline powder.

MSM is 34.06% elemental sulfur, 25.52% carbon, 6.42% hydrogen and 34% oxygen.

The World's most pure MSM
U.S.-made OptiMSM® is a premium form of MSM trademarked and sold into the dietary supplement marketplace. Introduced in 1989, it has been a leading ingredient for joint health products and the choice of quality brand manufacturers. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is created naturally through the earth's sulfur cycle when phytoplankton and algae die and decompose, releasing sulfur compounds into the atmosphere where they are transformed to DMS. In the presence of ozone and sunlight, DMS is converted to DMSO and MSM. Both are water-soluble and return to the earth's surface in rain water and are absorbed by vegetation and ultimately eaten by animals. These sources contain very small amounts of MSM, typically < 1 ppm, with the highest concentration in mammal's milk at 8.2 ppm. Therefore, all commercially available MSM must be manufactured because the amounts found naturally are too small to be extracted.

Dosage Ranges
OptiMSM is extremely safe. Extensive toxicology data shows that it can be taken in high doses for a long period of time. Supplementation recommendations are ¼ teaspoon.  This is equivalent to 1 gram taken twice daily.
