Why should I take MSM as a supplement if it is also found in food?
Although MSM naturally occurs in foods such as vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, the amounts in these are often small. A supplement offers a concentrated source of MSM in a convenient dosage.
Is MSM extracted from natural sources?
Although MSM naturally occurs in small amounts in plants and animals, it is not practical to extract it from natural sources on a large scale. This would, for example, mean cutting down massive amounts of trees, which is not sustainable.
How is MSM produced?
MSM is synthetically produced from DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), water, and hydrogen peroxide. During a controlled process, DMSO is converted into MSM, resulting in a pure and stable form of this sulfur compound.
