MSM - METHYL SULFONYL METHANE

Product Overview

Organic Sulphur Compound | Pharma Grade | USP40 | 99.9% Purity | Joint & Beauty Nutrition

MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is a pharma-grade organic sulphur compound supplied as a white crystalline powder at 99.9% purity (spec 98.0–102.0%), meeting USP40. It is freely soluble in water, with a 60–80 mesh particle size and DMSO content controlled to ≤0.1%.

MSM is one of the most popular functional ingredients in the joint-health and beauty-nutrition categories. It is a naturally occurring source of bioavailable organic sulphur — a building block the body uses in connective tissue, cartilage, and keratin — which is why supplement manufacturers formulate it for joint comfort, mobility, and "hair, skin and nails" positioning. Its very high purity, controlled DMSO level, and clean microbiological profile make it a straightforward, well-documented ingredient for regulated supplement manufacturing.
