Optimize Hair Care with OptiMSM®

According to Research, sulphur is essential for maintaining healthy hair by supporting the structure of key components like collagen and keratin¹. Collagen helps maintain a healthy scalp, while keratin, the primary building block of hair, relies on sulphur to stabilise its structure through sulphur-sulphur bonds. These bonds form the core structure of hair, ensuring its strength and resilience, making sulphur a vital element for strong, healthy hair and scalp.

A study with 41 participants (ages 19-60) experiencing hair loss was conducted to evaluate the effects of 1000 mg/day of OptiMSM®. The study measured hair count, hair diameter, and self-assessment. The results demonstrated significant improvements in both hair density and diameter, showing the positive impact of OptiMSM® on hair health².

In another study with 63 participants, MSM was shown to significantly improve hair condition. Hair shine increased by 12% after 4 weeks and 29.7% after 16 weeks, with most participants reporting healthier-looking hair overall³.

OptiMSM® also offers benefits for skin and nails. Sulphur supports skin by providing critical building blocks and enhancing antioxidant systems to defend against oxidative stress⁴. Research suggests that OptiMSM® may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and firmness^5,6, and promote strong nails⁷. Further research showed that both OptiMSM® and collagen offered benefits in enhancing skin thickness, hydration, and smoothness⁸.

OptiMSM® is a global leading and trusted brand of MSM, produced in the U.S. at a dedicated facility using a proprietary multi-stage distillation process, ensuring 99.9% MSM purity.
