DMSO from
Pine Tree Source

We believe their MSM has been distilled from DMSO from Fossil Fuel Source in the past however, this could change with time.

Used to be available from DMSO from Pine tree source - Now crystallised from DMSO from Fossil Fuel Source.

Crystallised
Purity 99.9% min 99.9% though flow agent added after lab testing 99.9% Sometimes as low as 95% with heavy metal content
Additives No fillers, additives or flow agents Flow agents added at approx 0.5% No fillers additives or flow agents ?
Rating 10 8 6 ?
Brand Name: DistilPure™ MSM
Opti™ MSM Lignisul DC™ Chinese and Indian Imported
 

Manufacturer Overview:

  • DistilPure™ MSM - Distilled from DMSO from pine tree source is our top choice.
  • Second choice is Opti™ MSM which we believe in the past has been distilled from DMSO from Fossil Fuel source often referred to as synthetic source - If we find this has changed we will update this page. The main objection to Opti is the flow agent added after lab testing.
  • Third Choice is Lignisul DC™ "Double crystallised" Note: Carolwood have installed a pure water plant in the factory in China however, the MSM is processed from DMSO from fossil fuel source.

Commercial Jealousy and mud slinging !

With thousands of tons of MSM being produced per annum for a very lucrative, multi million dollar world wide market, don't be surprised to see mud slinging between the major competitiors as they all vie for market advantage. Follow the link below

MSM Source a question of major contention and dispute

Product Overview:

  • Pure MSM crystal Flakes are the most bioavailable and economical form of MSM.
  • A heaped teaspoon contains 7,000mg and can be easily dissolved in drinks, so it's far easier and more economical to take higher dosages for therapeutic benefits rather than lots of capsules or tablets !
  • Capsules are more convenient to take to work, while on holiday, or for people who don't like the slightly bitter taste of the Crystal Flakes!!!
  • Many people use a combination of pure Crystal Flakes for ease of taking higher dosages and capsules or tablets for convenience and maintenance purposes.
