Question 1

Is this MSM distilled produced?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is! I knew that I had read years ago that it was, yet when I  read over the description on their Amazon page, I couldn't find the word "distilled" anywhere so I called Jarrow to clarify. The product specialist not only assured me that their MSM went through the distillation process, but told me the source too - it's sourced from Vancouver, Washington (not China). Here's the phone number if you would like any other info from them: 310-204-6936. I suggested that they add the wording distilled and not crystallized on their product info. Go onto www.jarrow.com where you can see their many products and latest news.  Also, here is a link to some of the purest MSM brands and Jarrow is one of them. http://www.toxinless.com/msm-sulfur. Hope this helps

Question 2

Are these MSM supplements are all-natural, and derived only from pine trees

Accepted Answer

http://www.msmguide.com/facts/faq/#twoQ: Where does MSM come from? Does MSM come from pine trees?A:All commercially available MSM is manufactured by reacting dimethyl sulfoxide with hydrogen peroxide. The raw materials used to synthesize MSM have many sources, including plants or other organically-based material. The source of these raw materials has no relationship to the end product of MSM.A synthesis process produces MSM that is chemically identical to that which occurs in nature. There is no commercially viable  way to "extract" MSM in quantity from any organic or plant source. Methyl groups may originate  from plant sources, such as the processed pulp of Southern Pine, but the sulfur does not. Although MSM is a naturally occurring sulfur compound, the microscopic amounts occurring naturally in food are too small to permit "extraction" sufficient for commercial production of dietary supplements. The most "natural" MSM would be that which is closest to what is found in nature (i.e., the purest MSM). Purity of MSM is achieved by distillation or crystallization. Distillation is universally accepted as the superior purification method.  Read more in MSM Manufacturing.

Question 3

Anyone taken MSM for hair growth and did it work

Accepted Answer

I purchased it to add to my hair products but not take internally.  Too soon to tell.

Question 4

Anyone noticed any skin conditions (ie: acne) getting better? I've taken liquid sulfur, but I'm not sure this is the same thing. Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can help with acne due to the fact that it helps with inflammation.  It won't "cure" acne though and if your acne isn't inflamed you might find that this stuff makes no difference for you.  If you're looking for a natural way to combat acne look to your diet first (which affects your hormones and levels of inflammation) and make sure you get plenty of vitamin D.
