MSM is short for Methylsulfonylmethane, a naturally occurring form of sulphur. Our MSM is derived from Canadian plants such as flaxseeds & corn, and not from petroleum sources. Sulphur is known as the “beauty mineral” . MSM affects the cell membrane in removing fluids and toxins. MSM acts as a carrier, and helps other nutrients to penetrate the cells.
Purity. There are two methods used for purifying MSM, crystallisation and distillation. Crystallisation is cheaper and risks impurities. Our MSM is purified by distillation, 100% pure. No fillers, binders, additives or flow agents.
Note: Most MSM is fossil based, and crystallized, which will not give as pure a product (as distillation). Our Canadian MSM is Bio-based, it is very pure.
Analysis: On independent analysis we achieve >100% purity (typically >101%)
Source material:That the source material (DMSO) has its methoxyl groups derived from organic based lignins, rather than methanol alternative.
Purity: The final product is distilled to gain a superior level of purity. This is like distilling water to remove impurities, and as far as we are aware, our supplier is one of only two MSM manufacturers in the world to do this.
No flow additives:No flow additives, some other brands have it as standard inclusion
Capsules: HPMC -- Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose -- is derived from vegetable cellulose. 100% natural, these capsules contain no preservatives, gelatin, wheat, gluten, animal by-products or starch, and they are made from pure cellulose of either pine or poplar.

How To Use
Each capsule is 1000mg. Start with 4 caps a day, with water. You can work up to 10 caps a day, or try our plant-derived MSM Crystals stirred into water.
MSM is very safe, however, it may trigger a reaction in some people as it works its magic. As with all herbs and supplements we recommend starting with a very small amount and work your way up. If you experience any issues such as head-aches, fatigue, itching - stop the MSM for a few days until it's cleared and then restart at a low dose. Always drink lots of water.
