Vitals MSM 1000mgMSM is relatively volatile and easily dissipates when heated or stored for long periods. Breast milk is the richest natural source of MSM.
MSM essential for life on Earth
The importance of MSM for life on Earth is significant. Without MSM, life on Earth as we know it would not exist. MSM is formed in nature as part of the terrestrial sulfur cycle: algae and phytoplankton in the oceans massively absorb inorganic sulfur from seawater and convert it into a simple organic form. When algae and plankton die, enzymes break down the organic sulfur compounds into dimethyl sulfide (DMS). This substance is volatile and does not dissolve well in water. It therefore accumulates high in the atmosphere, where it is converted into dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and further into methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) under the influence of ultraviolet light and ozone. DMSO and MSM are highly soluble in water. They form the condensation nuclei needed for the formation of raindrops. Without DMSO and MSM in the air, no clouds would form, and it would not rain. Roots of trees and plants are able to quickly and efficiently absorb DMSO and MSM from rainwater.
Production method
Although MSM is a natural substance, it would be impractical to extract MSM naturally. So many trees would have to be cut down, which would not be desirable. The raw materials now used are DMSO, water, and hydrogen peroxide. Through a complex process, DMSO is then converted into MSM. It is crucial that the production method used leads to a pure end product. And this, unfortunately, is not a given in MSM production. The expensive distillation method, which effectively removes any impurities that may be present in the raw materials, is absolutely preferred over the often-used (much cheaper) crystallization method.
Quality of OptiMSM®
Vitals exclusively uses MSM from Bergstrom Nutrition (OptiMSM®). For decades, Bergstrom has invested in research into the development, improvement, efficacy, production, use, and safety of OptiMSM®. This is a continuous process where the highest quality serves as the benchmark. For instance, only the best materials and raw materials are used for the production process. Moreover, Bergstrom applies a unique multiple distillation method that is considered superior within the industry. Production takes place at a single location, namely in North America. The production facility is exclusively used for MSM production. After each production step, tests are conducted by an independent laboratory. In this way, quality is ensured throughout the entire production process, and the end result is a very high-quality MSM product, namely OptiMSM®. All comparative tests have shown OptiMSM® to be the purest.
