I have been using this product for physiotherapy support for several months, and it provides a clear strengthening and protection of the muscles.
MSM is the abbreviation for methylsulfonylmethane, or organically bound sulphur. MSM contains over 34% elemental sulphur and also contains two methyl groups. MSM is naturally found in rainwater, fresh fruits 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 necessary for life on earth
The importance of MSM for life on earth is significant. Without MSM, life on earth as we know it would not exist. MSM is formed in nature as part of the earth's sulphur cycle: algae and plant plankton in the oceans massively absorb inorganic sulphur from seawater and convert it into a simple organic form. When algae and plankton die, enzymes ensure that the organic sulphur compounds are broken down into dimethylsulfide (DMS). This substance is volatile and does not dissolve well in water. It therefore collects high in the atmosphere, where under the influence of ultraviolet light and ozone it is converted into dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and further into methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). DMSO and MSM are well soluble in water. They form the condensation nuclei needed for raindrop formation. Without DMSO and MSM in the air, no clouds 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 extract MSM naturally. So many trees would have to be cut down, which would not be desirable. The raw materials currently used are DMSO, water and hydrogen peroxide. Through a complex process, DMSO is then converted into MSM. It is crucial that the applied production method leads to a pure end product. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in MSM production. The expensive distillation method, which effectively removes any impurities that may occur in the raw materials, is absolutely preferred over the often applied (much cheaper) crystallisation 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, function, production, use and safety of OptiMSM®. This is an ongoing process with the highest quality as the standard. For the production process, only the best materials and raw materials are used. 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 used exclusively for the production of MSM. After each production step, tests are conducted by an independent laboratory. This way, quality is guaranteed throughout the entire production process, resulting in a very high-quality MSM product, namely OptiMSM®. In all comparative tests, OptiMSM® has also emerged as the purest.

Dear, I use this powder. It comes in a large jar. Now I use one scoop. This means it lasts me a very long time. The packaging states it's limited in shelf life. What exactly does this mean? Can I use it for a month, 2 or just 3 months? I never manage to finish it. Does its effectiveness diminish? Can I therefore use it for half a year or longer? I don't want tablets because I want to avoid fillers as much as possible. Thank you in advance for your response.
On 18 september 2023 by Customer serviceThe mention of "limited shelf life" on the packaging of MSM powder means that over time, the product may lose its potency and potentially become less effective. This is especially true for dietary supplements and powdered products as they can be susceptible to degradation due to exposure to air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations.
How long you can use the MSM powder after the expiry date depends on various factors, including the storage conditions and the original quality of the product. Generally, it is safe to use the product for several months or even a year after the expiry date, but its effectiveness may decrease over time. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the jar is tightly sealed to prevent air from reaching the powder.
If over time the MSM powder develops an unpleasant smell or a significantly altered taste, this may be an indication that it is no longer suitable for use.
