is this msm derived by distilling?

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

Ernest, here's a link to the Nutriteam model that is designed for alcohol distillation. http://www.nutriteam.com/water-distillers/essential-oil-alcohol-stills/megahome-still-for-alcohol-essential-oil-making.html

MSM, Methylsulfonylmethane (msm) (CH3)2SO2 - Oral, is a kind of sulfur (can smell it) used to treat a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis. A lot of people take it to improve their nails and hair but I can't say I notice ANY effect like that. The idea is it reduces inflammation. There is not enough clinical evidence to say for sure it does or does not. (This is because there is no money in clinical studies if money can't be made by patenting the result. MSM is found in the environment, air, food, Most reliable medical resources find the side effects to be minimal and do not mention any specific drug interactions with specific other drugs. Kaiser Permanente warns, "Some herbal/dietary supplement products have been found to contain possibly harmful impurities/additives. Check with your pharmacist for more details about the brand you use." That applies to any supplement, not just or even necessarily to MSM. Nikita, it's a shot in the dark. We who suffer (from anything) will pay (almost anything) to find relief. I take MSM. I prefer it in a separate capsule in order to get a larger amount of it (and reduce the size of the Move Free tab back to something I can usually swallow. My preferred brand is MRM MSM. I wrote a review (AND SUBSEQUENT UPDATES IN COMMENTS) of it under MRM MSM 1500. It is in healthfood stores sometimes. But much less expensive on line. Look at your pocket book and decide if you want to gamble it might help. Good Health to you! Anika

No, it's naturally occurring sulphur in MSM (METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE) Hope this helps :)

As it pertains to Mrm Msm creM, there is no listed perecentage ( that I was able to locate).~,however msm is the 2nd ingredient listed which suggests that behind the deionized water the cream is made up of mostly msm. This wasnt enough for me so I went to a vitamin shop and but 100% msm in liquid form and added it to the cream.

I believe it's straight from the bottle. They're selling you a product, and it has several dilutions depending upon use.

MSM supplements now are artificially synthesized organic (carbon-based) fossilized plant/animal petrochemicals, the purest available in many brands I don't see on this one 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 don't know. I still have some left in a box that came with it. Possibly an herb shop that sells distillers.

The instructions do not require distilled water. I use it to delay any buildup, but it isn't necessary.

ALL MSM supps now are synthetically mfd from organic petro-chemicals (petrol is fossil carbon) since MSM is no longer derived from the byproduct of papermaking wood and chemicals. NO MSM supps have ever been "Organically Grown." I trust USA regs more than most nations esp China; & OptiMSM like this brand "4x distilled/99% pure" is as pure as can be mfd. [Evatt commented re Omica brand not certified "Organic."] This is not the cheapest OptiMSM, but I like that it doesn't have fillers. Since sulfur/MSM bitter, this brand of granular MSM is very easy to fill Amazon's best PureCaps, for back pain, skin/hair/nails, detox, aging, & hubby's Systemic Lupus IBS.

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."

I am unsure. I am not planning on diluting it. The website might have some info. ? Good luck.

Miss Geertgens, To get a straight answer for the source of the MSM you should ask the source. They are very good in attending their clients. Here is the website. http://shop.mercola.com/
