Methylsulfonylmethane in our MSM capsules
Methylsulfonylmethane
MSM is an organic compound made from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur. It may sound like chemistry, but it is biological and occurs naturally in nature. Studies often describe MSM as "as safe as water" because it has practically no known side effects. Pure MSM forms crystals and has a slightly bitter flavour.
MSM used in nutrition is organic and can be found, for example, in some fruits, dairy products or cereals. Similar to natural vitamins, it is unstable in heat, long storage or preparation of these foods. MSM as a dietary supplement is very popular in powder or tablet form, especially among athletes and people who are active in sports, who find it easier to achieve a mineral balance by taking it.

MSM: Natural occurrence
Natural occurrence of sulphur
The sulphur on our planet is formed in the sulphur cycle. It enters our environment on a daily basis and also enters our bodies biologically without the need for powders or tablets. Sulphur deposits in nature, which emerge from the earth in the form of vapour, are particularly impressive Sulphur is contained in the human body in a proportion of 150 to 300 grams, i.e. 0.2%. Biologically, this seems low at first glance. However, sulphur is contained in the body in important tissues: in the hair, nails and teeth, in the connective tissue, but also in the muscles. If there is a natural deficiency here, a dietary supplement is necessary, because sulphur is vital for humans.

MSM in the body
Biological - sulphur as a component of the body
It is a building block of important enzymes and hormones in the body, such as insulin. Sulphur is required for the formation of some amino acids, e.g. methionine or cysteine. Sulphur is necessary for the structure of the body's own proteins. Proteins are given a spatial structure in the form of so-called sulphur bridges.
Biological sulphur is also found in the body in the form of MSM. It is found in the joints, where it is a natural component of the cartilage that forms the connection between the ends of the bones.

MSM capsules in the laboratory
The ultra-pure methylsulfonylmethane in our MSM capsules: OptiMSM®
In order to guarantee that the OptiMSM® in our MSM capsules is 100% free from impurities such as heavy metals or microorganisms, each batch is specially purified. The raw material is distilled in a very complex but gentle four-stage process.
After production and distillation, ZeinPharma's OptiMSM® is then tested by independent laboratories. The methods of analysis are extremely strict. This is the only way to guarantee that the natural raw material in our MSM capsules is of consistently high quality and absolute purity.

MSM from the USA
Offered here: Highest quality from the USA
Our experienced licence partner and supplier of the patented raw material for our MSM capsules, Bergstrom Nutrition, has been producing MSM as a basis for food supplements in powder and tablets in the USA for 26 years. Ultra-pure OptiMSM® was launched 17 years ago and has been manufactured in the USA in Vancouver ever since.
OptiMSM® is the only MSM powder on the market that is generally recognised as safe by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (GRAS: Generally Recognised as Safe).
MSM capsules in guaranteed top quality.
Absolute safety - guaranteed!
The manufacture of the OptiMSM® product we offer is FSSC 22.000 certified. FSSC is the world's first standard for ensuring food safety. It guarantees that the raw material is a safe foodstuff throughout the entire production process. This reduces health risks and increases confidence in therapies.
Some tablet suppliers, often from Asia, offer cheaper MSM. Specialists advise against such offers, as there is a possibility that they are not suitable for nutrition and could be biologically contaminated. In the case of cheaper products, the extract is only purified using the crystallisation method and not by distillation. The OptiMSM® capsules offered by ZeinPharma are different. The powder capsules are absolutely safe and can be consumed without hesitation as a mineral food supplement over a long period of time.
