A Brief History of MSM-where did it come from?
Time：[2026-01-12]

DMSO, MSM’s liquid analog, has been used as a pharmaceutical agent since the early 1960s. It was not until 1982 that biochemist Robert Herschler introduced MSM in supplemental form, making its nutritional benefits accessible.

 

MSM rose to prominence in the health sector through over 30 years of dedicated research by Dr. Stanley Jacob. His remarkable clinical results were documented in the book The Miracle of MSM, The Natural Solution for Pain. Dr. Jacob stressed that MSM is not a panacea, but a food-derived preventive supplement for overall wellness.

 

Naturally occurring, MSM is produced via the sulfur cycle—fueled by ocean water evaporation, volcanic sediment weathering and plant matter decomposition.
