MSM
is a natural occuring nutrient that supports healthy
active lifestyles by providing nutritionally
essential sulfur and methyl groups.
MSM donates
methyl groups and sulfur to the body. Methtyl groups
form the building blocks of all organic molecules in
the body. The body continuously breaks dow and
builds up body tissue and body cells. Millions of
times per second methyl groups are used in the body
for the construction of molecules. This process is
called 'methylation'.
Methylation
is needed for the formation of new DNA and new
cells. Methylation is also a key step in the
detoxification processes in the liver.
MSM also donates
sulfur, necessary for healthy cartilage and liver
detoxification processes. With increasing age the
supply of sulfur in the body may decreases: One
equine study has shown, arthritic cartilage may
contain only one-third of the sulfur concentration
of healthy cartilage.
MSM is often
considered the safest donor of methyl groups and
sulfur, as it leaves no toxic rest molecule
behind.

substances in biology and medicine, comparable to
water.

mild blood thinning effect. People
taking high doses of blood thinning medication may

recommended to consult with their doctor before

What People
Say about KALA Health's MSM Products:
....I placed an order for 1,000 caps of
MSM on Sunday, Jan 27th. I was so surprised and
pleased to receive it in less than 3 business
days!!! It was delivered Wednesday early afternoon
by a postal letter carrier in a box marked
"Priority Mail". Thank you for your
terrific service!!! My thanks to all of you who make
the effort to provide effective, quality alternative
medicines at affordable prices to those of us who
wisely choose not to become dependent on
lucrative drugs prescribed by physicians supported
by so called "health" insurance
organizations.
Gratefully,
Terry Hendricks. Napa, California
....Almost immediately I noticed how easy it is
to swallow your MSM tablets. I always have had
difficulty swallowing pills and capsules. Yours are
so smooth, I am no longer afraid that they will get
stuck in my throat!
Nancy Corbell, New York
....My doctor recommended that I look
for MSM capsules with absolutely no additives. Your
product is the only one I have found that has 100%
MSM and nothing else in it. And yours contain a full
1000 mg and no additives! I am also very
pleased with the low cost. I recommend your products
to all my friends.
Ellen Clarke. Falmouth, MA
....I read so many stories about MSM and
what it does for people and I just had to try it for
myself. Now I have personally discovered what MSM
can do for me. I take 15 tablets per day without any
problem. I feel like a new person. It's a great
product.

It
is my great privilege and honor to work with
Dr. Ron Breteler and Ir. Paul Breteler of
KALA Health to share with you an amazing
nutrient that I have found to be one of the
most exciting discoveries of the 20th
Century: MSM. MSM is an abbreviation of
methylsulfonylmethane, an organic form of
naturally-occurring sulfur.
It is also known as dimethyl
sulfone. This is the form in which sulfur
appears in nature in all living organisms,
and in which it is biologically active. MSM
is found primarily in fresh fruits and
vegetables. It is also found in the human
body. MSM is a part of the earthly sulfur
cycle and plays a crucial role in many
important functions of the human body which
help to maintain good health.
MSM has been studied for over
twenty years at the Oregon Health Sciences
University in Portland, Oregon. On my
recommendation, over 18,000 people attending
my medical clinic at the University Hospital
have used MSM. A few years ago I published
my experiences with MSM in my book “The
Miracle of MSM. The Natural Solution for
Pain”. This book was published in 1999 in
the United States.
I feel that it is important to
discuss an important issue regarding not
just MSM, but many of the dietary
supplements now available throughout the
world. That issue is purity and potency. As
MSM has become more popular, there have been
many look-alike products that have entered
the market. Beware of material that has been
adulterated, contaminated or of a lower
potency than needed for effectiveness. Some
brands appear to have been contaminated with
heavy metals, fungi or microbes. Other
brands were diluted with epson salt,
sometimes by as much as 50%. This concerns
me very much because not only can
contaminations be harmful for human health,
the effectiveness of the MSM is totally
dependent on the quality of the materials
from which it is manufactured.
For this reason, I always recommend
a product called “OptiMSM”. OptiMSM is
the trade name of MSM produced in the United
States by Bergsstrom Nutrition, the
dedicated MSM manufacturer located in
Vancouver, Washington. I have evaluated
various brands and I consider OptiMSM the
highest quality available. It is the only
one that I will use or recommend for my
patients. Bergstrom was the first commercial
supplier of food-grade MSM over a decade ago
and they remain the world leader in premium
quality MSM. I continue to work with
Bergstrom and help guide their research
efforts.
