Firstly, It is not possible to extract MSM directly from natural plant deposits. The amount of MSM found in plant sources is so minute that the only way to produce marketable quantities for supplementation depends on processes developed by chemical engineers.
MSM is identical in molecular structure whether it comes from a factory or is found in nature. The question of purity depends on cleanliness of the manufacturing facility to avoid cross contamination and the quality of water and raw materials used in production. All MSM is formed by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with DMSO. All DMSO is formed by the reaction of nitrogentetroxide and oxygen with DMS.
Manufacturers can choose either to distill the compound, which is expensive and time-consuming or they can crystallize using a simple centrifuge “spin and wash” process, which is quick and inexpensive.
Unfortunately, many manufacturers choose the crystallization method, which allows them to cut costs and create a less expensive product. The problem with the crystallization method is low quality, impure end product.
The process of crystallization is prone to trapping contaminants, and it will concentrate any impurities in the water or raw chemicals used, leaving it in the end product. However, manufacturers that use a distillation process, which uses heat to separate MSM from manufacturing impurities and moisture, creating a pure quality product.
So long story short, the most important benefit of more expensive MSM is that it is distilled.
Distilled MSM is the key to quality. Ours is guaranteed at 99.9% pure
