Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a sulfur compound that has been found to occur naturally in the human body and in milk, fish, green vegetables and various grains. It is usually sold as a dietary supplement. The extract generally comes in the form of a white crystalline powder that can be dissolved in water.About 34% of MSM is made up of sulfur, which is found in all the main structures of the body and is needed in some way by all of them. Though MSM can be found in the diet, it is often destroyed during the production sequence that goes into processed foods. Dehydrate foods also lose their MSM content.
