12. MSM - Where does it come from ?
The sulphur cycle begins in the ocean where microscopic plants called plankton, release sulphur compounds which are transformed in the ocean water into the volatile compound Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS).
This escapes as a gas and rises into the upper atmosphere. In the presence of ozone and high energy ultraviolet light, a process called photochemical oxidation occurs and the DMS is converted into it’s cousins DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) and MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) which are highly soluble in water.
MSM and DMSO return to the surface of the earth in rain water where they are taken up by plants. The plants and trees concentrate the compounds in their root systems to surprisingly high levels. MSM and the sulphur it contains is incorporated into the plant structure and mineralised through plant metabolism. (2, 3)

13. Can we get MSM from the foods we eat ?
Yes, tiny amounts of MSM can be found in grains, legumes, and fresh unprocessed vegetables like garlic, onions, cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Meat, fish, poultry, eggs and milk all contain MSM, milk for example contains between 2 and 6 parts per million (1)

14. If MSM is already in food, why do I need to take it as a supplement ?
MSM is highly soluble - it is easily lost during the cooking and processing of foods. Many people find it impractical to eat raw unprocessed foods on a daily basis so research has suggested that most people are deficient and that deficiency increases with age (2)

15. If MSM is sulphur, is it smelly and does it create body odour ?
MSM is completely odourless and does not create body odour.

16. I've heard about animal
grades of MSM that contain impurities, is DistilPure™ MSM an animal grade of MSM
?
DistilPure™ MSM was the first MSM to be
manufactured specifically for human nutrition to exacting ISO 9002 standards.
It contains no fillers, additives or impurities whatsoever and
is highly bio-available - It's the one doctors and researchers use and recommend.
