OptiMSM®: Reinventing Joint Care with Research-backed Efficacy

Standing out in the crowded joint health category takes meaningful product differentiation. For formulators this means considering the quality, consistency and research when selecting new ingredients. OptiMSM® brings these elements together, combining more than 30 years of expertise with research exploring MSM across joint comfort, mobility and musculoskeletal health.

As a source of organic sulphur, OptiMSM® provides an important component of connective tissues, including cartilage, tendons and ligaments, while sulphur also supports the production of glutathione, a key part of the body’s antioxidant defence system.¹ By providing sulphur for the building blocks of cartilage, OptiMSM® could aid joint structure and movement. Research shows OptiMSM®’s joint health potential, with 2g daily significantly improving knee quality of life in adults with mild knee pain after 12 weeks.²

Furthermore, OptiMSM® extends beyond joint health, with additional research supporting applications in exercise recovery, antioxidant defence, healthy ageing and inner beauty. This broad evidence base gives formulators additional opportunities to incorporate OptiMSM® across multiple wellness categories^1-4.

Manufactured in a single-purpose MSM facility in North America, OptiMSM® undergoes a proprietary multi-stage distillation process to achieve 99.9% purity and consistent quality. Its water-soluble, odourless and heat-stable properties, with no pH restrictions, also provide formulation flexibility across tablets, capsules, sachets, powder blends and liquids.
