MSM products available on the market have not been obtained in the same way. The quantity of harmful substances contained in MSM or the quality level of the food supplement namely depends on the compound purification process. Unlike the majority of other food supplements containing MSM on the market, the OptiMSM® contained in Medex products is obtained through the distillation process and not through the crystallisation process. Even though the crystallisation process is cheaper, the MSM obtained through said process can contain heavy metals which can have negative consequences on our health. This OptiMSM® is the only safe and good choice for you. The OptiMSM® manufacturing process takes place in an American facility.

No, only trace amounts of MSM can, be found in certain vegetables - onions, garlic and brassicas, as well as foodstuffs rich in protein such as milk, eggs, seeds and nuts. The quantity of methyl sulfonyl methane in natural sources is too small to be able to extract it from these sources for dietary purposes, which is why it is synthetically obtained from laboratories. Natural sources of MSM contain concentrations of less than 1 µg/kg. If MSM were obtained from natural resources using the process of extraction, no less than 200 tonnes of material would be necessary to obtain 200 g of MSM! Since the MSM molecule formation process is clear, a compound identical to the one found in nature can be created chemically. MSM packaging therefore often contains claims that it has been obtained naturally, even though it has, in fact, been obtained through a synthetic process.

The Q10 coenzyme is a liposoluble compound that is an integral part of human cells. It protects the organism against free radicals, which are one of the main causes of ageing. The synthesis of the Q10 coenzyme in tissues decreases with age. The most significant deterioration can be seen in ages between 25 and 40, and 20-60% less Q10 coenzyme is formed in tissues after 50 compared to around the age of 20.

In addition to a sufficient daily dose of Q10 (50 mg), attention needs to be paid also to bioavailability and stability when using food supplements with this coenzyme. When consuming the patented CAVAQ10® encapsulated coenzyme, 18-times more of this important coenzyme enters the bloodstream from the intestine as opposed to other forms. The Q10 coenzyme is a very sensitive compound and quickly decomposes in liquid products. However, we use a very special formula that enables a longer persistence of the Q10 coenzyme. The product does not contain vitamin C, since it negatively impacts the stability and persistence of the Q10 coenzyme,and it would decrease its effectiveness. However, you may complement your daily dose of MSM lift + Q10 by separately consuming vitamin C.
