As mainstream consumers grow increasingly interested in health and fitness, the demographic turning to sports and exercise supplements has continued to expand. And within this growing trend, post-workout nutrition is getting attention as the critical component for optimizing exercise and sport performance results. “While the advantages of physical activity are clear, strenuous activity also increases the risk of oxidative stress, which can lead to inflammation, as well as wear and tear on joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles and other connective tissue," said Tim Hammond, director of sales and strategic relations for Bergstrom Nutrition.
Choosing carefully what you put in your body during all phases of training results not only in better performance, but also enhances the long-term effectiveness of your training,” he says.
The stages. Tim Hammond, director of sales and strategic relations at Bergstrom Nutrition, Vancouver, WA, believes a pre-workout supplement “is an absolute MUST for anyone who is serious about their training or competition.” It helps athletes fuel up before training or competing, which he says is “critically important because a fully fueled body can mean the difference between a great workout and a shortened workout.” Plus, choosing the right nutrients may even reduce the chance of muscle injury.

VANCOUVER, Wash.— Bergstrom Nutrition and Glanbia Nutritionals will feature a prototype of OptiMSM®, an exercise recovery and joint support protein powder at the SupplySide WestExpo Nov. 5-9 in Las Vegas.
OptiMSM contains a new bioactive called PepForm® BCAA 2:1:1 Peptides and is the only GRAS-designated proprietary and patented MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). A recent proof of concept study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutritionsupports MSM's health claims about exercise recovery. The study found that in addition to contributing to overall joint health and mobility, MSM also supports a reduction in muscle soreness in a dose dependent manner as well as a significant increase in trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity.
VANCOUVER, Wash.— Bergstrom Nutrition and Glanbia Nutritionals will debut a new exercise recovery and joint support protein powder at SupplySide West on Nov. 7 and 8. The prototype utilizes PepForm BCAA 2:1:1 Peptides, in addition to OptiMSM, a patented GRAS methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).
In a recent study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, MSM facilitated exercise recovery. Healthy men took 3 g/day and recorded reduced muscle soreness and fatigue.
The prototype pairs Bergstrom's MSM with Glanbia's PepForm amino acid product, and the companies claim the combination will offer shortened recovery time and a more effective delivery vehicle for crucial amino acids.

New light is being shed on a compilation of research suggesting that a supplement traditionally used for joint pain and inflammation could aid in reducing the visible signs of ageing if taken orally in daily doses.
The research, accumulated over a ten year time span, looks into the benefits of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) which contains sulfur; a component with strong links to dermatology.
MSM is an organic source of bioavailable sulfur crucial to body function and structure found naturally in the body and in all living organisms, but is often overlooked.
MSM (mehteyaweer) contains a significant amount of sulfur—34 percent by weight. According to recent studies, MSM proves to incorporate and deliver that sulfur to proteins and inflamed joint tissues. The sulfur, in general, helps maintain the structure of connective tissue by forming cross-linkages through disulfide bonds—it helps strengthen the tissues that make up the joint.
Sulfur is critical to good joint health. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are the fundamental building blocks of joint cartilage, and GAG molecules are linked together in chains by disulfide bonds. As the name implies, these bonds links between two sulfur atoms. The disulfide bridges reduce conformational flexibility of GAG chains, making cartilage firm and resilient. Cartilage integrity is thus a sulfur-dependent state.
Bergstrom Nutrition produces a MSM product that is safe to use as an additive for food and drink products. Called OptiMSM, this MSM product is distilled for optimal purity and removes heavy metals and other contaminants in its carefully controlled purifying process. Besides aiding in support for healthy joints, studies show that MSM boosts seasonal immune health by helping alleviate certain allergies, supports liver health and metabolism, and has possible applications in the personal care arena, including that for hair, skin, and nail care.
OptiMSM has been touted for supporting the structural integrity of skin and possibly down-regulating the damaging effects of UV-induced oxidative stress.
Vancouver, Wash. — July 16, 2012 — Bergstrom Nutrition, producer of OptiMSM® — the world’s only GRAS-designated proprietary and patented MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) — has released further details regarding the product’s possible role in nutri-cosmetic applications. Traditionally used to help reduce joint pain and inflammation, OptiMSM has most recently been touted with supporting the structural integrity of the skin and possibly down-regulating the damaging effects of ultra violet-induced oxidative stress.
Functional ingredients for bone and joint health have withstood the test of time, and better-known ingredients, like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, may be as popular today as they were several years ago. But let’s face it: innovation needs to come from somewhere. In the absence of a lot of groundbreaking new research, and with a new generation of consumers entering the fray, bone and joint health ingredients will need to impress in fresh new ways.Read full story
