What is the difference between MSM and DMSO?

What is the MSM?

Dimethyl sulfone is an organic sulfide also called MSM, with a molecular formula of CH32SO2. It exists in many organs and tissues of the human body and is an important substance for synthesizing collagen. It is a white powder in appearance and has therapeutic and health-care effects on human organs and tissues. MSM can enhance blood circulation, soften tissues, enhance physical strength, treat arthritis, oral ulcers, dredge blood vessels, and promote the growth and health of hair, bones and organs. It is mainly used as a food additive and a pharmaceutical health product.

 

What is the DMSO?

Dimethyl sulfoxide is a chemical substance also called DMSO, with a molecular formula of CH32SO. It is a colorless, odorless, transparent liquid, and has certain bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. It is effective against a variety of pathogens. It can be used to treat various skin diseases and cystitis in medicine. It also has a sedative effect and can be used to relieve nerve pain and improve the treatment of brain disorders. And because of the permeability of DMSO, it is also used in some cosmetics.

 

Chemical structure

1.The molecular structure of MSM is (CH3)2SO2, in which a sulfur atom is combined with two methyl groups, and oxygen atoms exist around the sulfur atom to form a sulfone group.

2.The molecular formula of DMSO is (CH3)2SO. Its molecular structure consists of only one sulfur atom and two methyl groups combined to form a sulfoxide group.

 

Physical state

1.MSM is a white powder with a high melting point.

2.The appearance of DSMO is colorless transparent liquid with flammability.

 

application

1.MSM is an important substance for the synthesis of collagen in the human body and has many health benefits for the human body. It is widely used in health care products and medicines.

2.DMSO is mainly used in organic synthesis, dyeing, etc. due to its high boiling point, thermal stability, and miscibility with water.
