PROPOSAL of the CC to include it in food supplements: MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)
Related to Dimethylsulfone (DMSO2)
AECOSAN has proposed a maximum daily amount for 1 g methylsulfonylmethane.
Various health claims of amounts between 0.5 and 1.5 g/day of methylsulfonylmethane have been submitted to EFSA for the entire population in general, including:
(1) contribution to collagen synthesis in cartilage and normal maintenance of bone structures, joints, teeth, hair and nails;
(2) cartilage regeneration;
(3) maintenance of the acid-based balance in the body;
(4) strengthening immune system function;
(5) strengthening the function of the gastrointestinal system;
(6) contribution to cysteine synthesis; And
(7) vitamin production (C, H, B5, B13) which contributes to a correct function of metabolism, although none of these proposals demonstrated a cause-and-effect relationship between the alleged effect and the proposed dose (EFSA, 2010).

- In Italy methylsulfonylmethane is authorised in food supplements without having established a maximum daily amount (Italy, 2013).

- In Belgium methylsulfonylmethane is authorised in food supplements (Belgium, 2013).

Methylsulfonylmethane, also known as dimethyl sulfone (DMSO2) and methyl sulfone, is an organic compound containing sulfur (34%), highly stable even at high temperatures (275 oC), present in small quantities in a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, meat, eggs and fish (Pearson et al., 1981).
