How MSM Works
MSM provides the body with bioavailable sulphur, an essential mineral involved in the normal structure of connective tissues, including cartilage, tendons, ligaments, as well as skin, hair and nails. Sulphur also plays a role in the body's natural antioxidant defence system, supporting cellular health and resilience against oxidative stress, a process involved in accelerating ageing in the body.
Scientific studies support the role of MSM in maintaining normal joint function and flexibility, making it a popular choice for those with active lifestyles. Additionally, MSM has been investigated for its support of post-exercise recovery and its antioxidant capacity, which contributes to managing oxidative stress associated with physical activity.
Studies also indicate that MSM plays a role in maintaining skin, hair, and nail health, as it is a source of sulphur, a key component of collagen and keratin. These proteins are vital for maintaining strong, healthy-looking hair and nails, as well as smooth, resilient skin.
Why choose Doctor’s Best MSM with OptiMSM®?
Whilst methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is widely distributed in nature, it is only found in tiny trace quantities in foods such as Swiss chard, concentrated tomato-based products, milk, tea, coffee, beer and port wine. To benefit from this unique molecule for health, a supplemental form is needed. However, unlike some forms of MSM that use crystallisation methods, OptiMSM® undergoes a multi-stage distillation process to remove impurities, including heavy metals and contaminants. Each batch of Doctor’s Best MSM with OptimMSM® meets or exceeds United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for purity and is independently tested for quality and consistency.
