Health Benefits

Our bodies require sulfur to maintain healthy joints and skin.

Sulfur is a dietary mineral found in a variety of foods including milk, tomatoes, tea and corn.

That sulfur plays a critical role in our body’s antioxidant defense system and as a building block of collagen and keratin.

Adding that sulfur to your diet can address a lot of today’s consumers issues when it comes to joint health, recovery after exercise or skin and hair health.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a source of organic sulfur important for optimal health.

Sulfur is a nutrient that acts as a critical component of key molecules that make up connective tissue throughout the body, including joint and skin tissue.

Sulfur is also a major building block of one of our body’s most critical antioxidant defense systems, which helps defend us against oxidative stress and free radicals. Supplementing with OptiMSM^® at 1 to 3g/day brings all those benefits to your body to optimize your potential.
