I don't know what the origin of this sulfur is, but I trust this company for good, clean products, this sulfur has helped tremendously. I am able to feel a difference in pain level. I use it in my coffee and other drinks; 1 teaspoon twice a day.

I am new to the use of Sulfer so I will answer by writing what is on the label. 99.9% Methylsulfonylmethane. Pure Food Grade Crystals. Sulfur Defense is drived from 100% U.S. sourced DMSO that has gone through a stringent distillation process to convert it to a crystallized food grade sulfur. Our sulfur crystals are the purest on the market at a guaranteed 99.9 % purity level! No binders, fillers, anti-caking agents, flow agents or preservvatives are added in any step of the process as all of these "other ingredients" can interfere with the uptake of sulfur in the body that makes most MSM supplements ineffective. I hope this is helpful. Here is a phone # 1.800.593.6273. I am new to the use of Sulfer so I will answer by writing what is on the label. 99.9% Methylsulfonylmethane. Pure Food Grade Crystals.

It is plant based and my understanding is that the dmso comes from the pine waste products for creating paper. Not all MSM is made this way but I know this brand is and any brand with the Opti MSM label will be made this way too.

I have been taking organic sulfur crystals for about 6 months and it is plant base. It is a wonderful product and I have not had any colds or other illnesses during this time. I plan on taking it indefinitely.

There is only one manufacturer of msm in the US. There are different grades as with anything.This stuff is good, the people are straight up, Opti is the maker, American.Do you trust the Chinese?

Based on my research it is plant based however the manufacturers were very helpful with my questions. I have seen and felt the results of using the Organic MSM and even gave a jar to a friend who has seen results as well. Contact the company directly, they were super helpful. Hope that helps.

I do not know the origin of the sulfur. My wife claims it has helped her significantly, so I purchase it for her. I do not take this or any other supplement.

All MSM is manufactured using a chemical synthesis process of reacting two raw materials, dimethyl sulfoxide and hydrogen peroxide. This reaction forms a new molecule: MSM or dimethyl sulfone. As to whether the plant produces other chemicals...that would depend on the particular manufacturer. Most companies bulk produce the MSM for distribution through satellite distributors.

The company's manufacturing facility is in Victor, Montana. The company, which is called Animal Essentials, has several certifications for manufacturing and purity of ingredients to comply with the USDA's standards for organic products that the company has to comply with. It looks like one of the better animal product manufacturing facilities in the US.

The direct answer to your question is I don't know. There are no warnings about it being manufactured in an environment or on equipment used for milk, wheat, nuts etc. There's no 800 number on the label for me to call or to provide you. I don't know chemical the components of wheat or wheat by-products. Here's all ingredients listed on the label: Active ingredient (in each caplet) Sennosides 8.6 mg Inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, dicalcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose Hope the information provided helps.

msm is crystalized from DMSO. DMSO is a naturally found product. MSM is sulfer in it's purest form. All plants take this up to utilize for their benefit. If you really want to know the background of how good this is, select a small reading by Earl Mindell or Dr. Stanley W. Jacob. You will be amazed. I have using this since the early 90's with great benefits. careful of fillers. If the powder does not clump then it has fillers. I is not the purest.

It is manufactured by Tierra Mega-Nutrients International, no other imformation. On the label it claims to be "Original Formula of Prof. Dr. Ana Aslan." If your search for Tierra comes up negative, it might be manufactured in Roumania.

MSM supplements now are artificially synthesized organic (carbon-based) fossilized plant/animal petrochemicals, the best available in many brands is OptiMSM distilled 99.99% pure USA/sometimes high-standard Japan sourced. Food-form MSM is in grassfed animal proteins & rainwatered not irrigated or hothouse crops. ~ Blessings

I can find NO information "specifically" relative to your question, however, it is "Earth Friendly" and "Environmentally Responsible." It is also "Biodegradable", "Non-Toxic" and contains no chlorine but I can find no information about the use or treatment of animals during formulation or production. I am sorry I cannot be of further help in answering your question

I read today on their Facebook page a comment to another question that was answered by Taste of the Wild, that 2 ingredients are outsourced from China. The comment was made on March 7, 2014 if you want to read it yourself. I buy this and I love it and my dogs have done really well on it, but I will not continue to feed them ingredients from China. If I wont eat anything from Chine then neither will my dogs.

Probably synthetic. I contacted the company re another product & here's their comprehensive reply. Also, please check the link at the bottom as it has more good info;) Thank you for your recent correspondence. Due to customer feedback and response, Life Extension is in the process of transitioning our product line to include ingredients derived only from non-GMO sources. Most newly-launched products will be free of ingredients derived from GMOs. Existing products with corn and soy-based active ingredients are in process of having the labels updated to list when soy and corn-derived active ingredients have been certified to be from non-GM food crops. As the labels are updated the information will be transferred to the product descriptions on our website and directory. Currently Life Extension already offers several premium quality non-GMO products. A list of Non-GMO Life Extension products is attached as a PDF for your reference.

Apparently this product is made in the USA although I did not find complete verification of that. The product is organic and contains 175 mg Stinging Nettle leaf and 175 mg Quercetin dihydrate

The US leader of supplemental MSM --Bergstrom's OptiMSM-- is great about replying to reviewers' emails & advises that OptiMSM is 99.99% pure distilled "mostly USA sourced/occasionally high-standard Japanese." Today they confirmed to me that Dr's Best is OptiMSM :)Food-form MSM is in grassfed animal proteins & rainwatered not irrigated or hothouse crops. ~ Blessings

Yes, our product is extracted, encapsulated, bottled, and labeled in the USA in an FDA cGMP certified facility, and is rigorously tested for purity. The results of this testing can be seen in the Certificates of Analysis and Manufacture located in our product images. These documents prove that our product is manufactured according to all FDA guidelines within the US and that our product is sourced within the US. Please be aware, just because a company states their product is "Made in an FDA compliant cGMP certified facility" does NOT mean the raw materials come from the US. It is common practice among supplement companies to import material from China then encapsulate their product in a FDA cGMP certified facility. Such companies rarely make their Certificates of Analysis or Certificate of Manufacturing available to the public. Many will not provide them even upon request. -DHM Depot

From the research I have done, it is not in this formula. I have used this brand for several years and am quite happy with it.

The bottle only says it was manufactured for Source Natural. I never thought about how it could be manufactured elsewhere. I suppose you'd have to ask the company.
