Curious: How Much MSM Is Everyone Taking

[ballet_bun]

I just started taking this again. I haven't been taking it for quite some time. I am only taking 2000 mg a day. However, I think one LHCF member is taking more than that.

What were your results with increasing the dosage?

I take 5,000mg a day of powdered MSM. I've been taking this osage since about a month now. So far I've noticed my nails are growing nicely and are very strong. I also take 10mg of Freeda biotin.

 

[DahomeyAhosi]

I take 3-4000 mcg per day. I was taking GNC but am now trying Puritan's Pride. I take this for tendonitis and it's worked pretty well though I still have pain when it's cold.

[LiqueXX]

I take about 3000 mg of MSM, used to take 4000 mg but toned down and added Biotin (3800 mcg).

 

[inthepink]

I take 1000mgs a day. I considered increasing it but I don't think I will.

 

[pookeylou]

I am taking 2000 mgs a day...with good results...nails are hard as rocks...averaging 1.5 inches of growth per month so far...and my Illitobial Band Syndrome in my right leg seems cured...I think I will keep it there though...seems to be working fine.

 

[ballet_bun]

Thanks for responding everyone. I think I will alternate between 2000 and 3000mg every day and see what happens. I will try to get the powdered MSM mext month.

Vit C and MSM work together synergistically. Vit C allows MSM to be better absorbed. To ralize the full benefits of MSM, you may consider adding the vit c.

 

[balleryna]

I take 1500 every night. I've done this for about 2 years. I feel that it has softened me and also assists in treating chronic pain.

Dont' forget to take vit. C with it.

I have a powdered MSM that I purchased but it tastes so abominably that I just can't do it. I've considered switching to another powdered brand but so far I have not.

 

[JenniferMD]

I'm taking GNC's MSM 1500mg. I'm only on my 3rd week, 1 pill a day and I love the way it smells.

 

[simplycee]

I take 4000mg of the Vitamin Shoppe OptiMSM powder. Works like a charm for me!

 

[Tawana]

Is Freeda biotin better than Puritan's Pride?

 

[LABETT]

I have switched to Doctors Best powdered MSM to see if the
powder works better than the capusules for me.

 

[aqualung]

I mix a teaspoon of the Vitamin Shoppe OptiMSM powder with thick juice (apricot or peach or pear) in the morning and at dinner time.

The bitter taste is not entirely masked by the juice, though.

 

[happylocks]

how long till u see results?

 

[Lorraine]

Ladies,
What is MSM and where can it be purchased? What is the recommended dosage per day? I assume it's for hair growth. Is it worth the results? Tell me, tell me, tell me!

Thanks!

 

[ananas]

i take 1000 mgs. it seems that you have to be taking 3000 and upwards to see softer growth, huh? Hmmm...

[ms_kenesha]

3,000 mgs Puritan's Pride powdered MSM (1/2 tsp.) I take it w/ Orange Juice in the morning. I just started taking it consistently last week.

 

[carameldiva]

i take 2000 mgs of msm- just started like a week or two ago- so i don't know the results yet and i'm not going in for a trim until March 22nd-3.75 months since my last trim. I'm up to 3.5 inches of natural curly fro currently styled in gel twists.

 

[hotshot]

used to take 2000 mgs of GNC brand capsules- good results.

[aprilbiz]

I use Kornax MSM
http://www.kornax.com/MSM_MethylSulfonylMethane.htm

If you scroll to the bottom of this page, it tells you how to take it. You're supposed to take so much of it based on your body weight and also you have to take a certain amount of Vitamin C.

I have been inconsistent in taking it and I haven't gotten anymore Vit C yet, but I'm trying to get back into my regimine.

 

[caralexis2005]

I really want to take this but I'm scurred.

<font color="purple">I have no problems taking MSM. Last year I was taking 1200mg a day. Now I'm taking them again, but only 500mg 2-3xs a day, along with 1000mcg Biotin (Both of them are from Wal-Mart). Haven't seen any improvement on my hair and nails as of yet. I'll keep you posted. Toodles. </font>
