OptiMSM to be Free of Banned Substances

OptiMSM®, today announced that its trademarked MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) has undergone thorough testing and audit and is officially registered with Informed-Sport® and Informed-Choice® to be free of banned substances.

“Achieving the Informed-Sport designation supports our commitment to the sports segment.

“The designation provides our brand partners with additional assurance that OptiMSM is of the utmost purity, and a safe choice for competitive athletes.”
