Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), also known as dimethyl sulfone, is a naturally occurring source of organic sulfur found in small amounts in certain fruits, vegetables, and grains. Levels of sulfur in foods can vary based on factors such as storage, processing, and preparation. Because sulfur intake can fluctuate with age or diet, some individuals choose MSM as a way to help maintain normal sulfur availability and overall connective tissue wellness as part of a balanced lifestyle.*
Our formula features OptiMSM®, a highly purified and standardized form of MSM produced through a multi-stage distillation process.* Unlike some MSM sources that rely on chemical solvents, OptiMSM® uses a heat-based purification method designed to promote exceptional purity and consistency.*
What Is MSM and Why Do People Use It?*
Sulfur is an essential element naturally present in the body and found within structural proteins such as keratin, collagen, and elastin. These proteins contribute to the normal structure of skin, hair, nails, joints, and other connective tissues.* Although sulfur is not classified as a vitamin or mineral, it participates in biochemical processes related to tissue structure, natural antioxidant pathways, and general metabolic function.*
- MSM provides bioavailable sulfur, a component that participates in the natural formation and maintenance of collagen, glucosamine, and other compounds found in connective tissues throughout the body.*
- MSM has been studied for its role in supporting general physical well-being and maintaining normal comfort in active individuals, particularly as part of the body’s natural responses to everyday movement and lifestyle demands.*
- MSM also takes part in antioxidant processes, in part through its relationship to glutathione, a key intracellular compound involved in maintaining normal cellular resilience and overall wellness.*
- Because sulfur contributes to keratin structure, MSM is often chosen to help maintain the normal appearance and strength of hair and nails. It also supports the integrity of collagen, making it a popular ingredient in supplements focused on general skin and connective tissue wellness.*
- Preliminary research suggests MSM may play a role in supporting normal metabolic processes in the liver, particularly those involving naturally occurring detoxification pathways.*
OptiMSM® is commonly chosen by individuals who wish to support connective tissue wellness, maintain normal physical comfort during daily activities, and help sustain overall vitality as part of a balanced lifestyle.*
