MSM





WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ON USING MSM:
 
"I have been taking the MSM in conjunction with vit C,my multiple,and vit E. I really like it. The one thing I suggest is that you drink a lot of water. Not only does that help me flush out toxins,but i guess that it's supposed to help. The body uses what it needs,and the rest is flushed out. I have noticed that my nails are so much stronger,longer! Plus, I really wasn't even paying attention to my hair,but when I put it up in a puff the other day,I noticed that it looked bigger! I have only been taking it a litte over a month,but I don't get any weird side effects,or anything like that. I did my homework on this stuff though. I would suggest that you do the same. Don't take others word as definite,because the stuff reacts differently in everyone."
 
 
"MSM is in 90% of all the hair, skin and nails vitamins on the market because it aids in the production of methionine and cystein which form healthy tissue and hair. It's also in most products for joint health. Not all MSM is equal, some versions are more pure than others. If your hair is the texture it would normally be under perfect conditions then you probably won't experience a change in texture but for those of us who used to have one texture that later turned into another after scalp damage, years of perming, a sickness, pregnancy or moving to a hard water area then maybe MSM can help it return to it's original healthy state which for me would be 4a/3c hair. As for doing research, like I said, look up sulfur deficiency or sulfur amino acid and hair through Medline which lists EVERY legitimate medical study in the national library of medicine published since the mid seventies. Another suggestion would be to do a general search in the internet under MSM and hair. The texture change seems to be a side effect of the other benefits. Even those with straight hair report changes in the strength and softness of their hair so it seems to improve texture overall, regardless of hair type."
 
 
" I used to use the powder MSM and it's true my hair grew like crazy!!!! At the time i was relaxing my hair and i had at least an inch of new growth about 2 weeks after i was taking it religiously."
 
 
" It does work. Remember i found more success with the powder form than the capsule/pill form. I've read in another hair thread that the pill should float in water to test it's purity. "
 
 
" I use to have the powder with Orange Juice. If you mix it with the OJ it's VERY bitter. I would take the teaspoon of MSM in my mouth and wash it down with OJ. It's as pure as it can get and it grows your hair tremendously."
