The fifth more common element on Earth, sulfur is an essential component of all living cells. Depending on the form, this yellow mineral gives off the particular smells associated with garlic, onions and rotten eggs. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally-occuring organosulfur compound - a form that the body can utilize. This compound is an excellent way to ensure ample sulfur is available to the body for all its important functions.
The body utilizes and expends sulfur on a daily basis. It therefore must be continually replenished via food and/or supplementation for optimal nutrition and health. The body can take sulfur and make MSM naturally, but taking it in MSM form can also help to increase available sources. Here are some of the vital roles sulfur plays in the human body:
Present in the amino acids cysteine, cystine and methionine, the B vitamins biotin and thiamine
Present in the powerful antioxidant glutathione
Present in the protein keratin, required for healthy skin, hair and nails
Required for collagen production, for the strength and structure of all connective tissues
Used in insulin production and blood sugar balancing
Crosses the blood/brain barrier, allowing nutrients into the brain
MSM originates in the oceans where microscopic plankton release sulfur compounds into seawater, which is quickly converted into dimethyl sulfide or DMS. This sulfur compound escapes into the atmosphere where it reacts with ozone and ultraviolet sunlight to create a product known as MSM. When it rains, the MSM falls to the earth, where it is collected and concentrated in plants. MSM can also be produced in a lab, where it is sometimes combined with other supplements such as glucosamine or chondroitin.

Q: I see MSM combined often with glucosamine and chondroitin. Is this necessary? A: Some studies have shown that combining these three ingredients together increases their efficacy and reduces time to see the benefits. You’ll find these types of combinations in Organika’s Liga-Joint Premium. This product, by providing MSM alone, allows you to control and increase your personal dose as required, without having to consider the increased doses of other ingredients.
Q: Are there other nutrients that are best to take with MSM? A: Taking a supplement of 100 mcg per day or more of molybdenum helps MSM work more effectively. Also, taking a high-quality multivitamin and a potent antioxidant formula is also recommended to maximize the benefits of MSM.
Q: Sulfur sounds important. Can I also get it in my diet? A: Absolutely. Many excellent whole foods, like the allium family (garlic, onions, leeks etc.), the cruciferous family (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, etc.), nuts, seeds, dairy products and eggs contain sulfur for the body’s daily uses.
Q: How does MSM relieve inflammation? A: MSM increases the effectiveness of the body’s natural anti-inflammatory hormone, cortisol. It binds to fluid in swollen tissue and aids in its removal.

Thank you for submitting a review!
Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
Thank you. As I am “mostly “ vegan, MSM has been perfect for relieving joint pain, as well as preventing hair loss and strengthening nails. As the company I formally used discontinued their MSM supplement, I was extremely grateful to find it at Organika. Merci +++

I have used this product for over a year now. I find it works great for inflammation in my knees and back. I was off work for an extended period of time due to a back injury and this product has been a blessing. Thank you.
