Safety First
An important message from Bergstrom Nutrition
The recent news about contamination found in pet food imported from China underscores what we have always believed since introducing MSM to the market over twenty years ago: purity and quality matter.
Other MSM may be available, but it does not have the same safeguards as OptiMSM®. Once consumer confidence is lost in your brand, it is difficult to regain it at any cost. It may cost a little bit more but you are guaranteed the purest, safest MSM on the market. OptiMSM® is made in the U.S. to standards we continue to set for the industry:
Dedicated plant. OptiMSM® is manufactured in the only dedicated NPA cGMP-approved MSM production facility in the world, eliminating the risk of contamination from toxins like benzene, toluene or pesticides. Product consistency is guaranteed by an integrated process control, which monitors the production process at every stage -- ensuring the highest quality and consistency.
Four-stage distillation. We start with the best quality raw materials and distill OptiMSM to remove as much water as possible. By heating it to a specific boiling point, we separate pure MSM from both volatile and non-volatile contaminants, including heavy metals
Third party tested. Every lot of OptiMSM is independently third party tested for quantifiable lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminum, mercury or microbials. OptiMSM® is compliant with California Prop 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 and is Kosher and Halal-certified.
Advancing science. We have led the industry in sponsoring and promoting more credible research of MSM than any other manufacturer, including 20 years of published clinical toxicology research. OptiMSM® is the only brand supported by U.S. clinical research published in peer-reviewed journals.
We will continue to bring you the best product possible. If you want to join other leading brands that can trust the source of their MSM, feel free to contact us directly.
