Our Innovations

Innovation is at the very core of Bergstrom Nutrition®. Our exclusive products and processes are a result of years of research and development performed by our founding engineers and scientists.

Over the years, Bergstrom employees have introduced a number of innovations to improve customer satisfaction, including increased lot sizes, advanced product formulations for better flow characteristics, packaging and shipping efficiencies, and more critical and structured analytical methods.

From the beginning, we have invested in infrastructure and capabilities in advance of market needs. Increased factory capacity, technical support, brand marketing, lean manufacturing and cGMP compliance were standard at Bergstrom Nutrition long before they were common in the marketplace.

Our commitment to innovation also shows in our manufacturing plant’s FSSC22000 certification. Recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative, FSSC22000 combines ISO 22000:2005 with additional requirements for prerequisite programs for the safety of food in food manufacturing.

We're proud to note that our flagship product, OptiMSM®, is the only GRAS-designated MSM in the industry. GRAS (“Generally Recognized As Safe”) is the designation given by the FDA to substances considered safe for direct or indirect additives to foods. The procedure for receiving GRAS designation is lengthy, and uncommon in the supplement and functional ingredient market.

As a world leader in MSM, Bergstrom Nutrition continues to set the standard for the industry.
