Vitals MSM powder
sulfur and also contains two methyl groups. MSM is naturally found in rainwater, fresh fruit, and fresh vegetables (1 to 4 mg MSM per kg). MSM is relatively volatile and easily disappears when heated or stored for long periods. Breast milk is the richest natural source of MSM.

MSM needed for life on Earth
The importance of MSM for life on Earth is great. Without MSM, life on Earth as we know it would not exist. MSM is formed in nature as part of the terrestrial sulfur cycle: algae and plant plankton in the oceans massively absorb inorganic sulfur from seawater and convert it into simple organic form. When algae and plankton die, enzymes break down the organic sulfur compounds into dimethyl sulfide (DMS). This substance is volatile and does not dissolve well in water. Therefore, it accumulates high in the atmosphere, where it is converted under the influence of ultraviolet light and ozone into dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and further into methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). DMSO and MSM are well soluble in water. They form the condensation nuclei needed for the formation of raindrops. Without DMSO and MSM in the air, clouds do not form, and it does not rain. Roots of trees and plants are able to quickly and efficiently absorb DMSO and MSM from rainwater.

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 a given in the production of MSM. The expensive distillation method, which effectively removes any contaminants that may occur in the raw materials, is absolutely preferred over the often used (much cheaper) crystallization method.

Quality of OptiMSM®
MSM Powder from Vitals contains no excipients and consists of 100% pure MSM with the brand name OptiMSM® from Bergstrom Nutrition. Bergstrom has been investing for decades 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. The 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.
