Is it normal to confuse MSM with sulfur, which are two very different types of sulfur?

I am not sure. Just know the pure sulfur got rid of the chiggers in our yard last summer.

MSM- MethylsulfonylmethaneAdded sulfur for joints. Our vet recommended this in addition to the Dasuquin.

No, it's naturally occurring sulphur in MSM (METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE) Hope this helps :)

The US leader of supplemental MSM --Bergstrom's OptiMSM-- is great about replying to reviewers' emails & advises that OptiMSM is 99.99% pure distilled "mostly USA sourced/occasionally high-standard Japanese." Today they confirmed to me that Dr's Best is OptiMSM :)Food-form MSM is in grassfed animal proteins & rainwatered not irrigated or hothouse crops. ~ Blessings

I don't know what exactly that is but I can tell you "sulphate a" not listed in the ingredients. So assuming it doesn't have a different name, I would say no.

MSM supplements now are artificially synthesized organic (carbon-based) fossilized plant/animal petrochemicals, the purest available in many brands I don't see on this one is OptiMSM distilled 99.99% pure USA/sometimes high-standard Japan sourced. Food-form MSM is in grassfed animal proteins & rainwatered not irrigated or hothouse crops. ~ Blessings

MSM supplements are not naturally-occurring food-form MSM but artificially synthesized organic (carbon-based) fossilized plant/animal petrochemicals. (Older method "lignisol" from papermaking wood lignan pulp byproduct's no longer used, but OxygenAmerica sells pine lignan organic "OxySulfur" another Amazon reviewer prefers.) If it doesn't say OptiMSM, it's not the best MSM supplement distilled 99.99% pure mostly USA/sometimes high-standard Japan sourced. Food-form MSM is in grassfed animal proteins & rainwatered not irrigated or hothouse crops. ~ Blessings

Methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, is organic sulfur used by the body in many healing ways: Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/183648-how-to-use-sulfur-powder-for-hair/#ixzz2dEujTgfx What is the quality and type of oil you wish to use ? And for what remedy ? MSM is often used in creme's and I would use ones that are pure and health, see ingredient disclosure. MSM can go in capsules, or straight into water or juice. I use a tsp 2X DAY to drink [ that's just me of course ] or use with water for your hair...I saw a older dogs hair grow back and was as black as it was when he was a puppy. I drink it just before swimming or walking for the lungs......see Dr. Stanley Jacobs, Portland, Oregon is the expert of MSM/DMSO-call OHSU lab and his son for answers, on the web, directly write them and see how they use the products they produce. I always trust him, but I find this MSM has lasted me for a long time and great quality and pricing. I have yet to find anything better.For some answers: http://www.jacoblab.com/ or http://www.dmso.org/subLevels/stanley.htm or Livingstrong reports: uses of MSM: http://www.livestrong.com/article/183648-how-to-use-sulfur-powder-for-hair/ MSM is natural, safe, great..some people hate the taste but if it works, its worth it. Black Castor Oil with MSM Sulphur is made with 100% organic castor oil and methylsuphonylmethane sulphur (known as organic sulphur) can be used for healthy hair which is used mostly by Afro-Americans. I would use a lighter base oil but check out the web for recipes..p.s. When I got my MSM, I immediately put it in a clean glass jar with a lid. You can use a dry spoon or measuring scoop. That reminds me, I need to order more !!

I am new to the use of Sulfer so I will answer by writing what is on the label. 99.9% Methylsulfonylmethane. Pure Food Grade Crystals. Sulfur Defense is drived from 100% U.S. sourced DMSO that has gone through a stringent distillation process to convert it to a crystallized food grade sulfur. Our sulfur crystals are the purest on the market at a guaranteed 99.9 % purity level! No binders, fillers, anti-caking agents, flow agents or preservvatives are added in any step of the process as all of these "other ingredients" can interfere with the uptake of sulfur in the body that makes most MSM supplements ineffective. I hope this is helpful. Here is a phone # 1.800.593.6273. I am new to the use of Sulfer so I will answer by writing what is on the label. 99.9% Methylsulfonylmethane. Pure Food Grade Crystals.

I do not know the origin of the sulfur. My wife claims it has helped her significantly, so I purchase it for her. I do not take this or any other supplement.

I don't know what the origin of this sulfur is, but I trust this company for good, clean products, this sulfur has helped tremendously. I am able to feel a difference in pain level. I use it in my coffee and other drinks; 1 teaspoon twice a day.

I am a new user to the product and find it really great. With reference to sulfur, I cannot comment because I have no knowledge.Why not take it to a lab and get it tested???

Miss Geertgens, To get a straight answer for the source of the MSM you should ask the source. They are very good in attending their clients. Here is the website. http://shop.mercola.com/

If you look up the ingredients, they are different except for the "Amino Mar Complex." For example, the pink one has zinc and the brown doesn't. The brown one has selenium, and the pink doesn't.

Sulfur is sulfur, it's not the grade that makes a difference it's the purity.

No, only 2 ingredients listed are:Glucosamine Hydrochloride 1,500 mg and MSM 1,500 mg

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a bioavailable sulfur. Sulfur is a necessary component that works in conjunction with Glucosamine to provide the building blocks of collagen, an important component of healthy joints and connective tissue.†
