N-(methylsulfonyl)glycine

Description:

N-(Methylsulfonyl)glycine, also known as MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), is an organosulfur compound characterized by its simple structure, which consists of a glycine molecule with a methylsulfonyl group attached. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a slightly bitter taste. MSM is known for its potential health benefits, particularly in the context of joint health and anti-inflammatory properties. It is often used as a dietary supplement and is believed to contribute to the maintenance of healthy connective tissues. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may decompose at elevated temperatures. Its chemical formula is C2H6O2S2, and it features both sulfur and oxygen in its structure, which are integral to its biological activity. MSM is generally regarded as safe for consumption, although some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Its applications extend beyond health supplements, including use in cosmetics and personal care products due to its moisturizing properties.
