Background MSM is a naturally occurring compound which contains sulfur and methyl (CH3) groups.  MSM is involved in a variety of biological functions, including the maintenance of collagen integrity, and it nutritionally supports the formation of healthy connective tissue, particularly that of the joints.  MSM also helps support healthy hair, skin and nails.  OptiMSM® is the highest quality, purest and most widely used form of MSM in the dietary supplement industry.*     Features: OptiMSM® is a proprietary form of U.S.A.-made methylsulfonylmethane. It is the purest form available and exceeds all customer specifications in this area.  Every batch is tested for water content, residual DMSO and also heavy metals which are important under California Prop 65 Every batch is made in an US-based single-purpose facility in Vancouver, WA. This eliminates the potential for cross-contamination and reduces the chance of impurities. OptiMSM® is distilled for purity compared to other forms which use other less effective means to eliminate impurities (typically crystallization). Only OptiMSM® has built the market for this material in the last 5 years. All of the important published safety and efficacy studies have been funded by Bergstrom Nutrition.   Benefits: OptiMSM® as a sulfur containing compound has been shown in several peer-reviewed studies to help support the structure of joint tissue.  This stability allows for improved joint function.* OptiMSM® by supplying needed sulfur, helps improve the overall health of joints, including the support of a normal, healthy inflammatory response.* OptiMSM® helps support healthy liver detoxification, helping the body get rid of potential toxins.* Clinical studies show OptiMSM® helps support a healthy immune response to environmental allergens.*  Ingredients

The digestion of food involves a complex system of organs, hormones, and enzymes. Many people have difficulty digesting foods, particularly as they age. The incomplete or partial digestion of foods can lead to uncomfortable side effects. Many of the indications are quite clear; intestinal gas, bloating, cramping, heartburn and diarrhea. However, some effects are not as clear, such as the poor utilization of food and even nutrient deficiencies. Superzymes is a multi-enzyme formula, containing both animal and plant derived enzymes, designed to support normal, healthy digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.*   Features: Contains betaine HCL, a form of hydrochloric acid. Provides pepsin, bromelain and papain to help support protein digestion. Ox bile extract provides bile to help emulsify fat preparing it for digestion. Pancreatin pancreas extract provides various protein, carbohydrate as well as fat digesting enzymes.   Benefits: Betaine HCL – A mild form of hydrochloric acid, a component of gastric juice. Betaine HCL helps support the digestive process, particularly the beginning of protein digestion, before food moves on to the intestines. Aging and medications such as antacids reduce the production/effectiveness of HCL. A reduction in HCL may exacerbate digestive problems due to the inefficiency to digest protein and other essential nutrients. HCL is especially important for the absorption of many nutrients including calcium, folic acid, B12, and iron. Besides nutrient deficiency a reduction in HCL slows down the digestive process, resulting in food remaining in the stomach for a longer period of time, often times leading to digestive discomfort.* Pepsin – This is an enzyme which begins the process of protein digestion in the stomach. This proteolytic enzyme is designed to function in an environment where there is a low pH and high acid content such as the stomach.* Bromelain –Derived from pineapple, is a proteolytic enzyme which helps break down protein.* Papain – Derived from papaya provides an array of proteolytic enzymes to support protein digestion.* Ox bile extract – helps emulsify fat, preparing it for digestion by fat digesting enzymes (lipases).* Pancreatin – containing amylase (carbohydrate digestion), protease (protein digestion), and lipase (fat digestion). The combination of digestive enzymes in pancreatin has been shown to provide significant support to the digestion and absorption of essential nutrients. Ingredients
