I am human and not a doctor or health practitioner. However, I have used this product many times and I can still write, walk, breath, etc. LOL. Melly

The company asserts that the product is veterinary grade, which is equal to or greater than the human grade in health food stores, in terms of purity, but is INTENDED for animals.

It is meant for animals. I took a chance being that it was pure MSM. It is different from the product produced for humans. Since buying this I read on Mercola.com that it is manufactured in 2 different ways and one is better than the other. This is a lot cheaper so I imagine it's not the best for human use. (Seems like I always find out things after the fact). However I am still using it - but just wanted to make you aware. There is a definite difference between this product and what I purchased for human use from the health food store.

We have been using this product ourselves (humans) for years and it is every bit as good as the expensive stuff we used to buy that is advertised for people. 99.9% pure MSM - what else does one want?

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

This is for horses. I am not sure if it can be used for humans. I believe this product is 99.9 %pure MSM. I have heard of humans using this but check with your doctor first! It definitely helps my horses with arthritis.

It is all supposed to be perfectly harmless for humans and pets. I think the one for pets is maybe a little stronger. It is good stuff, I have a pet sitting business and this really helps.

I just called them at 859-737-3441, http://www.animedproducts.com The MSM is distilled so this is the best process method. See also http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/03/03/msm-benefits.aspxHope that helps.

You are so correct. I realised it after I bought it. In fact, most of the ingredients in it are nothing but junk. You have no idea how pissed I was that deceptive labeling trying to push chemicals and preservation. I did some research and found a website www.onlynaturalpet.com. customer service 888-937-6677. They sell a product called Only Natural Super Daily Canine multi-vitamins item #999010. 270 tablets for $31.99.This is why in cases like these I'm very suspicious and cautious of anything that's made in the USA. One must really research...Its great to see that other people are becoming aware of deceptive labeling not just for our pets but for our food also. I hope this info helps. You are so correct.

does it matter about pharmaceutical grade? It is 99% pure. put it in the refrigerator and see how much liguid is left. the dmso will be frozen. They have used it for stallion race horses for many years. If it good for the animals it is good for us. I personally have seen miracles with the dmso. The roll on may not be as pure as the bottled but it is just more convenient. you don't have to get it all over your hands. I like it for my phorisis on the neck, and my daughter likes the roll on for her vericose veins. Don't question it just use it.

I have only used it on animals, can't really say if it can be used on humans because I never did.

MSM supplements now are artificially synthesized organic (carbon-based) fossilized plant/animal petrochemicals, the purest available in many brands but 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

I think that's the wrong way to view it...most medications aren't just for people or pets. Blood is basically blood. The description really just says it's great for horses and livestock, too! (that's in addition to humans).

No on their website it is certified organic and it is purely argan oil made from the seed of a tree in Morocco. 100% and no additives. Can't think of any reason it would ever be tested on animals.

Not for certain. It is unlikely that it is animal derived and is most likely plant derived due to cost and efficacy concerns. Suggest contact Nature Made which I had the same concerns with melatonin and they told me that they do not use animal product derivatives.

I did not know that. I am aware that adulterated ingredients in human or animal food regardless of where those ingredients came from can have a harmful effect and avoid specific foods when problems are identified by competent authorities. I have never done a forensic examination of any of the milk bone products I've purchased over the last 20 years so I can't attest to their chemical composition. I can say that they've been a staple for the thirty-plus dogs we've adopted during those years with much apparent enjoyment and no apparent ill-effects. If that paradigm ever changes, I will promptly amend my review.

Its all natural, none of the damaging additives in its ingredients, so I don't see why it would be tested on animals?

No, MD-Direct products are not tested on animals. Thank you for asking this important question.

It says " no animal testing." On back of tube.I really do like this cream. It works very good.Hope this helps.

As far as I know, there is no longer any "plant based" MSM, and even when one manufacturer in the USA (Gaylord Chemicals) was making "plant based" it was only partly plant based. The whole concept of "plant based" MSM being "better" than other MSM was a marketing ploy. Read my review on the Omica "non-petroleum" MSM (they have since pulled that particular product, but here is the direct link to the review... http://www.amazon.com/NON-Petroleum-Derived-MSM-Crystals-16/dp/B0030N1Z1M/)

No. It is derived from ocean plankton. When looking for the best quality MSM, look for MSM that has been processed through a distillation process, rather than a crystallization process. Also, look for the brand that has pure OptiMSM.
