Product Introduction

MSM is a sulfur compound found naturally in a variety of foods, including most fresh raw fruits and vegetables, milk, meat, seafood, and some grains. However, natural MSM is volatile and is easily lost during even moderate processing and cooking. MSM powder is derived from DMSO and has been used as a safe dietary supplement for over ten years. MSM is a white, crystalline powder that is odorless and somewhat bitter tasting. It is very easy to use. MSM mixes in water more easily than sugar and just barely affects the taste. In juice or other beverages, it is undetectable.

MSM can be a natural remedy for muscular soreness and athletic injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, post-traumatic inflammation and pain, heartburn and hyperacidity, headaches and back pain, and allergies. MSM is critical to the formation of connective tissue of all types. People taking MSM may notice benefits including softer skin, harder nails, thicker hair, and softening of scar tissue. MSM is often combined with glucosamine and chondroitin for joint relief and repair.
