Hi Kevin, DMSO (dimethylsulphoxide) is a liquid that is made from the lignin in trees by paper companies (Crown-Zellerbach), originally used as a solvent. Add an extra oxygen molecule to DMSO (with a catalyst) and you get a white granular powder commonly called MSM (methylsulphonylmethane) which can also be stated chemically as dimethylsulphone. DMSO and MSM each have very different characteristics and uses, even though DMSO can be used to manufacture MSM. As for uses, run a search on each one separately on any search engine.

Has anyone with knowledge of both an opinion as to how those two products relate - which is best for what?
