What is the CONCENTRATION of the DMSO. I know that the purity is 99% but is it mixed with water like most products. 70%DMSO and 30% water? Cheers.

I'm sorry, but I checked the bottle and it does not list the concentration as many products do. It simply says 99% purity, 90% by volume. It's dimethyl Sulfoxide, (CH3, SO), serious stuff which has to be handled very carefully. My husband reports that he can put it on and in 15 min., his joint pain is gone. Your question is a very good one and I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Concentrated - needs to be diluted with water - approximately 50-50 mix, depending on where you live

Unfortunately, it doesn't dissolve completely and takes a long time. The solubility increases once you raise the temperature of the liquid. I usually put it in warm water and shake it every time i take a sip. This way it does not stay on the bottom and floats throughout the liquid. Also, you only need 2 teaspoons to achieve 5000mcg or 5gm. Hope this helps.

Storage/Stability This product should be stored at room temperature and protected from exposure to moisture. DMSO is a very hygroscopic liquid. The purity of the material was essentially unchanged per gas chromatographic analysis. DMSO is thermally stable. It can be heated to . 150 ° C for 24 hours with less than 0.1% loss in purity. When stored as indicated, DMSO has a shelf-life of two years.

Since all MSM & DMSO supplements now are artificially synthesized organic (carbon-based) petrochemical plant/animal fossils, the best quality is OptiMSM distilled 99.99% pure USA/some high-standard Japan sourced. (100% pure is a scientifically impossible exaggeration.) Per Sherry's posting, this Now brand says it's only 99.7% pure. I bought 7 Lights stating "USA sourced 4x distilled 99.99% pure" like OptiMSM awaiting hearing back why doesn't say OptiMSM. Distilled MSM can be purchased in flakes, crystals, or powder. We like crystals easy to scoop into Amazon's PureCaps v. MSM bitter taste.

l found this answer for you from a chemist answering the same question you asked....The suppliers of dmso in glass containers state that dmso will 'leach" out chemicals from the plastic. This is simply not true. they use this as a marketing ploy to sell their dmso. The fact of the matter is that when these suppliers buy their dmso (in many cases from us) they receive it in plastic containers. They refill it and state that the glass is better. Dmso when purchased in bulk comes in 55 gallon plastic drums. I am a chemist and thought you would like to know the truth of this matter. Another reason we use plastic is to avoid breakage problems.

Whatever you do don't drink it straight!!! When it combinds with water it produces heat and your body is 99% water. Someone I know tried taking it straight and said it burned like hell all the way down!! Mix it into a liquid like Orange juice. The orange juice will get warm but it will not burn going down. Try looking at the videos on YouTube under DMSO.

It is pure DMSO. ie no other ingredients.Other products claim to be pure but they are usually 4 parts DMSO and 1 part IPA and sold in plastic bottles (not good, DMSO is a solvent and like many solvents, can cause chemicals in the plastic to dissolve into the contents.)

I have attached a link to the manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet for this product. If you still have questions regarding the ingredients, I would suggest you contact them directly. There is a phone number included on the MSDS attached. From what I gathered it contains: Ammonium Sulfate, Citric Acid and Urea Phosphate, although they don't tell you the concentration of each ingredient. Hope this helps! Good Luck! Here's the link:http://generalhydroponics.com/site/gh/docs/prod_msds/pHDownDry_MSDS.pdf

Good question. It does not say in the ingredients what the source of the MSM is. Perhaps by contacting the company directly, you can get the answer.

The active ingredients are shown on the tube. Not sure why you can't find them online. As for concentrations, you'd have to contact the manufacturer. That info is above my pay grade.

I don't know what that means. You may want to contact the company to find answers. I am taking it 50% diluted with distilled water, 1 tbl spoon DMSO and 1 tbl spoon pure MSM and have great results. I have taken it almost a year now. Best of luck and happy holidays :)

I would assume 50% to be diluted because it's only half. 100% would not be considered diluted in my opinion. When I purchased this product it worked great, and I would buy it again. I definately reccomend it.

It specifically states to NOT drink it without diluting it first in 16 oz. of water. It is concentrated. I have used this for the past four months, once a day, in 20 oz of water and the difference is amazing. I wish I had known about this product years ago.

I've only used the pharmaceutical grade and I haven't noticed any taste at all from once-a-day use. My wife says there is no garlic smell, but she's noticed a slight sulphury smell on my breath. Don't know if it's from the DMSO or the MSM I've been taking as well.

It is 17.5% according to reports from reviewers who say the back label states it is diluted 50/50 with water, yielding a 17.5% dilution. Beware of sellers who misrepresent their products.

I called the company that sells this and they told me the 1% is distilled water. I guess it depends on whether you choose to believe them or not. Also I believe this to be veterinarian grade. The seller I bought mine from sells mostly products for horses. I also read in the book "DSMO, Nature's Healer" by Dr. Morton Walker that you can judge the purity by how thoroughly it freezes at temperatures starting at 68 degrees F. Quote from page 32 in the book, "Because DSMO has a freezing point of 68 degrees F, one is able to tell its approximate concentration, if a bottle of the liquid solvent is acquired from an unknown source. Put the unopened bottle into the refrigerator (not the freezer). Within two hours the liquid will turn solid, like ice. You now have 99.5 percent DMSO, the purest and highest concentration made."
