Popular questions
Is citric acid bad for you?
At typical food levels, citric acid (E330) is considered safe by major regulators (GRAS; EFSA/JECFA). Concentrated or frequent acidic exposure can irritate the mouth/stomach or contribute to tooth enamel erosion.
Where does the citric acid cycle occur?
In eukaryotic cells it occurs in the mitochondrial matrix; in bacteria it occurs in the cytosol.
What does citric acid do to your body?
It is a normal intermediate in energy metabolism and is readily metabolized to carbon dioxide and water. Citrate can bind minerals, which may enhance absorption of some and help prevent certain kidney stones by increasing urinary citrate.
Where does citric acid come from?
It occurs naturally in citrus fruits, but most food-grade citric acid is produced by fermenting sugars (e.g., from corn, beet, or cane) with Aspergillus niger.
How is citric acid made?
Industrially, sugars are fermented with Aspergillus niger to produce citric acid, then it is recovered and purified—often by precipitating calcium citrate and converting it back with sulfuric acid or via ion-exchange/crystallization.
Is methylsulfonylmethane safe?
Yes—MSM (methylsulfonylmethane, dimethyl sulfone) has a good safety profile at typical supplement or fortified‑food intakes; EFSA concluded up to 4 g/day is safe for adults, and FDA has not objected to certain GRAS notices. Mild effects like bloating, nausea, or headache can occur, and data are limited in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Is methylsulfonylmethane safe for dogs?
Generally yes at typical joint‑supplement doses used in pets, with occasional mild gastrointestinal upset reported. Consult your veterinarian for dosing and if your dog has health conditions or takes other medications.
Methylsulfonylmethane para que sirve?
Se usa como suplemento de azufre y se comercializa para apoyar la salud articular y la recuperación tras el ejercicio; la evidencia sugiere beneficios modestos en dolor/rigidez en algunas personas. No es un nutriente esencial ni tiene un papel tecnológico destacado como aditivo alimentario.
What is methylsulfonylmethane for dogs?
It’s a sulfur‑containing ingredient used in dog supplements to support joint comfort and mobility, often combined with glucosamine or chondroitin. Evidence for benefit is limited but it’s generally well tolerated; ask your vet if it’s appropriate for your pet.
What is methylsulfonylmethane good for?
It’s mainly marketed for joint comfort and exercise recovery, with clinical studies showing small, variable improvements in pain and stiffness for some people with osteoarthritis. It also serves as a source of organic sulfur, but it isn’t an essential nutrient.
