Vitals MSM GCVitals MSM GC
MSM-GC contains top-quality ingredients: MSM (OptiMSM®), glucosamine (Glucosagreen®), chondroitin (ChondroPure®) and vitamin C (Ester-C®). The advantage of using these brand ingredients is that their producers place exceptional value on research into the development, improvement, efficacy, production, use, and safety of their products. This is a continuous process where the highest quality serves as the benchmark.
MSM is the abbreviation for methylsulfonylmethane, or organically bound sulfur. MSM contains more than 34% elemental sulfur and also two methyl groups. It is naturally found in rainwater, fresh fruit, and fresh vegetables. Breast milk is the richest natural source of MSM. The importance of MSM for life on Earth is significant.
Production method
Although MSM is a natural substance, it would be impractical to extract MSM naturally. So many trees would have to be felled, which would not be desirable. The raw materials currently used are DMSO, water, and hydrogen peroxide. Through a complex process, DMSO is then converted into MSM. It is of great importance that the production method used leads to a pure end product. And unfortunately, this is not a given in the production of MSM. 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®). Bergstrom has been investing for years 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 example, only the best materials and raw materials are used for the production process. In addition, Bergstrom applies a unique multi-stage distillation method that is considered superior within the industry. Production takes place at one location, namely in North America. The production facility is used exclusively for the production of MSM. 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.
Synergists
Glucosamine is, among other things, the precursor to various macromolecules such as glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, hyaluronic acid, glycolipids, and glycoproteins. These are found in almost all body tissues, but the highest concentrations are found in cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. The glucosamine in this product is of top quality and from a plant source (corn), not from shellfish. MSM-GC is therefore free of common allergens. Chondroitin (as chondroitin sulfate) is a component of glycosaminoglycans.
