MSM is methyl sulfonyl methane or dimethyl sulfone DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide or methyl sulfoxy methane
the two different names for each substance represent American CE and IUPAC standards for naming.

At room temperature MSM is solid white crystals, DMSO is a clear liquid. -----Original Message----- From: Scharbach <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, July 08, 1999 9:49 AM Subject: Re: CS>[CS] DMSO as transport mech >Ok, Is MSM a refined version of DMSO?
