Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally-occurring sulfur compound and nutritional component of many foods. It is found in the normal diets of humans and almost all other animals. MSM is made up of 34% sulfur, the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. MSM is reported to support healthy, active lifestyles and benefits multiple structures and functions within the body, including connective tissues and the respiratory system. Sulfur is necessary for the structure of every cell in the body. And because the body utilizes and expends it on a daily basis, sulfur must be continually replenished for optimal nutrition and health. MSM originates in the oceans where microscopic plankton release sulfur compounds into seawater, which is quickly converted to DMS, a volatile sulfur compound that escapes into the atmosphere. In this suspended, gaseous state, the DMS reacts with ozone and ultraviolet sunlight to create DMSO and DMSO2, known as MSM. MSM then falls to the earth with the rain, where it is collected and concentrated in plants. Although MSM is abundant in nature, even the richest natural sources only provide MSM in the level of several parts per million. Our MSM is held to strict product specifications, making it the highest quality and most consistent MSM available on the market. Made in the USA. Our MSM powder and capsules are plant-derived, made from natural wood pulp (pine trees and needles) in the state of Washington in a state-of-the-art facility, used exclusively for the production of pure MSM. This is the world's only facility like this. Our 100% pure MSM powder is produced through a four-stage MSM distilling process to ensure optimal purity. Suggested Usage: Take one 1000mg MSM capsule per 50 lbs. of body weight 2x per day. This 100% pure MSM powder comes in a vegetable capsule for ease of use. It is best taken in the morning on an empty stomach for maximum benefit. MSM works synergistically with Vitamin C, so it works well when taken with orange juice, which will also help in disguising the bitter taste of MSM.
