Vitals MSM GC

MSM-GC contains top-quality ingredients: MSM (OptiMSM®), glucosamine (Glucosagreen®), chondroitin (ChondroPure®) and vitamin C (Ester-C®). The advantage of using these branded ingredients is that the producers place exceptional value on research into the development, improvement, effectiveness, production, use, and safety of their products. This is a continuous process where the highest quality serves as the benchmark.

MSM stands for methylsulfonylmethane, or organically bound sulfur. MSM contains over 34% elemental sulfur and also contains 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 obtain MSM naturally. So many trees would need to be cut down, which would not be desirable. The raw materials currently used are DMSO, water, and hydrogen peroxide. Through a complicated process, DMSO is then converted into MSM. It is of great importance that the applied production method leads to a pure end product. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in the production of MSM. The expensive distillation method, which effectively removes any contaminants 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, functioning, production, use, and safety of OptiMSM®. This is a continuous process where the highest quality serves as the benchmark. Only the best materials and raw materials are used in the production process. Moreover, Bergstrom applies a unique multiple distillation method that is considered superior within the industry. Production takes place in one location, namely in North America. The production facility is exclusively used for the production of MSM. After each production step, tests are conducted by an independent laboratory. In this way, quality is guaranteed throughout the entire production process, and the end result is a very high-quality MSM product, namely OptiMSM®. In all comparative tests, OptiMSM® has emerged as the purest.

Synergists
Glucosamine is, among other things, the precursor of 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 from common allergens. Chondroitin (as chondroitin sulfate) is a component of glycosaminoglycans.
