MSM Exceeding Industry Standards
Bergstrom Nutrition® is a family-owned nutrition ingredient company built on the vision and values of its founder, George Bergstrom III. Bergstrom pioneered the use of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) for human consumption and joint health in 1989. Today, it operates the world’s only facility solely dedicated to the production of a proprietary form of MSM.
OptiMSM® exceeds industry standards for optimal purity and consistency, and is the only MSM backed by published U.S. clinical research. Today, consumers in 21 countries purchase hundreds of different retail products containing Bergstrom Nutrition’s proprietary ingredients.
A customer-focused organization dedicated to continuous improvement and uncompromising quality and service, Bergstrom Nutrition is committed to supporting ongoing efforts to create health and wellness.
Innovation at its Core
Bergstrom’s exclusive products and processes are a result of years of research and development performed by its founding engineers and scientists.
Over the years, the company’s employees have introduced a number of innovations to improve customer satisfaction, including increased lot sizes, advanced product formulations for better flow characteristics, packaging and shipping efficiencies, and more critical and structured analytical methods.
From the beginning, the company has invested in manufacturing infrastructure and capabilities in advance of market needs. Increased factory capacity, technical support, brand marketing, lean manufacturing and cGMP compliance were standard at Bergstrom Nutrition long before they were common in the marketplace.
Its commitment to innovation also shows in its manufacturing plant’s FSSC22000:2010 certification. Recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative, FSSC22000:2010 combines ISO 22000:2005 with additional requirements for prerequisite programs for the safety of food in food manufacturing.
Bergstrom Nutrition is proud to note that its flagship product, OptiMSM, is the only GRAS-designated MSM in the industry. GRAS (generally recognized as safe) is the designation given by the FDA to substances considered safe for direct or indirect additives to foods. The procedure for receiving GRAS designation is lengthy, and uncommon in the supplement and functional ingredient market.
As a world leader in MSM, Bergstrom Nutrition continues to set the standard for the industry.
