MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms.  Sulfur provides the chemical links needed by your body for numerous functions.  While it is a natural componenet of almost all fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat,  food processing reduces sulfur levels, making supplementation more important than ever.  NOW® MSM is tested to contain a minimum of 99.9% purity.  It has been researched since 1979.
