FAQ's

OptiMSM® is a GRAS-designated (Generally Recognized as Safe) source of methylsulfonylmethane, produced using a proprietary multi-stage distillation process. Each batch is third-party tested to verify purity, quality, and consistency. OptiMSM® is manufactured exclusively in the USA in a cGMP-certified and ISO-registered facility, providing full traceability and reliable standards.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring substance found in the human body and in many foods. However, these natural sources contain only very small amounts, making it impractical to extract or isolate MSM directly from nature. For this reason, all commercially available MSM is produced synthetically through a chemical reaction of DMSO and hydrogen peroxide. While the production process always involves the same base raw materials, the quality of MSM depends on purification methods, testing, and manufacturing standards. OptiMSM® is manufactured in the USA using a proprietary multi-stage distillation process and is third-party tested for purity, quality, and consistency. The final product is biomimetic — chemically identical to the MSM found in nature.

OptiMSM® is a highly researched and bioavailable source of sulfur. Sulfur is an essential nutrient that plays a role in many natural processes in the body, including connective tissue formation, skin structure, antioxidant activity, and metabolic balance. As a dietary sulfur source, MSM contributes to maintaining the integrity of cartilage, ligaments, skin, and other connective tissues. It is also linked to the body’s natural antioxidant systems, including glutathione, which help maintain cellular balance and respond to everyday stressors. Research continues to explore how MSM may support overall wellness, including flexibility, recovery after activity, and healthy aging.

Research shows that MSM is absorbed into the bloodstream relatively quickly after intake. However, how it is experienced can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as dosage, product formulation, and overall lifestyle. Many people include MSM as part of their daily routine for ongoing wellness support, with consistency being an important factor.

There is no single dosage that fits everyone. MSM intake can vary depending on individual needs, product formulation, and lifestyle. Many MSM powders suggest a serving size in the range of 1–3 grams per day as part of a wellness routine, but it is always important to follow the directions provided on the product label. For personalized guidance, consult with a qualified healthcare professional.

No. Envom MSM Powder does not contain any silicon dioxide or other additives. Because there are no anti-caking agents, the powder may occasionally clump. This is a natural characteristic and does not affect the quality, purity, or effectiveness of the product.

If you are taking prescription medications, it is important to consult your physician or healthcare provider before adding any supplement, including MSM. Published research has not identified significant interactions between MSM and prescription drugs, but individual circumstances may vary. For this reason, professional medical guidance is always recommended.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin are larger, more complex molecules that are naturally found in the body. Glucosamine is present in the fluid surrounding joints, while Chondroitin is a structural component of cartilage. Both are often included in joint-supporting supplements. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), by contrast, is a smaller molecule and a source of dietary sulfur. It plays a different role in wellness products and is widely used in formulations designed for active living and connective tissue support. Some supplement formulas include MSM together with Glucosamine and Chondroitin. This combination is popular because each ingredient contributes unique characteristics, and ongoing research continues to explore how they may complement one another in wellness applications.

Envom MSM powder is manufactured in Canada using raw materials sourced from Bergstrom Nutrition in the USA. OptiMSM® is produced under strict quality standards and undergoes a proprietary multi-stage distillation process, which requires advanced technology and thorough quality control. Each batch is third-party tested to help ensure purity, safety, and consistency. Bergstrom Nutrition also continues to support ongoing research on MSM to help advance understanding and provide confidence in the ingredient’s quality. These processes and commitments contribute to OptiMSM® being recognized as a premium MSM ingredient compared to generic alternatives.
