MSM is in every cell of your body and there are no known adverse reactions. MSM evaporates into the air FROM THE OCEANS and is released onto the earth in the rain. The plants pick up the MSM. Thus the term organic form of MSM. In this case organic means that the plant has converted it to a form that can be absorbed and utilized by the body. Our source of MSM comes to us from evergreen long leaf pine trees.
MSM has been used as a dietary supplement for over 30 years, with no reports of intolerance or allergic reaction. Acute, intermediate, and long-term studies indicate that MSM exhibits very low toxicity no matter how it is administered. How low? Its profile is similar to that of water! Within limits, you cannot overdose with MSM because the body will take and use, whatever it needs, and after a 12-hour period, will flush any excess amounts from the body.
MSM is highly important. Approximately half of the total body weight contains MSM. It is concentrated in the muscles, skin and bones. It is present in keratin, the tough substance in the skin, nails and hair. MSM is necessary for making collagen, the primary constituent of cartilage and connective tissue. It is responsible for the conformation of body proteins through the formation of disulfide bonds, which hold connective tissue together.
