Although MSM occurs naturally as an organic sulfur compund, it occurs in such small quantities as to be commerically impractical to extract. The chemically identical substance that you buy in the health food stores is chemically created by using a catalyst to add an extra oxygen atom to Dimethylsulphoxide - DMSO. The resultant chemical is Dimethylsulphone or Methylsulphonylmethane (exactly identical - just different ways of expressing the compound) popularly called MSM. DMSO is a liquid and MSM is a solid. The characteristics of each are NOT identical - they are two entirely different substances with different uses and properties, just as an extra oxygen atom to a water molecule makes hydrogen peroxide -- which ain't water, folks! Take it from me, MSM is GOOODDDD stuff! Been taking it for over 20 years ever since Dr. Stanley Jacobs at Oregon Health Sciences University "put me on " to it.
