Mahalialee, you posted to the lady with thinning hair that hair should be balanced which makes sense. You said that too little sulfur could be a problem and too much sulfur could be a problem. MSM is sulfur, I am currently taking 4,000 to 6,000 mgs a day which I want to increase to 10,000 mgs because I love the effect on my hair and skin. Is that a mistake? Do you think that will cause the dryness you referenced? Is there a regimen you would recommend to combat sulfur dryness because I got to tell you I want to keep it because it is changing my texture and my skin looks great. I would appreciate any help you could give me and if I have missed a thread where this is covered, sorry.
 
I would like to know too what brand recommends 10,000 mgs per day. More is not always better when it comes to supplements. You may do more harm than good. The normal recommended dose is 1000 - 1500mgs per day. Be careful.

I guess you can have too much of a good thing. What are the side affects of too much MSM?

I will add that during my research before taking MSM I read that it is as safe as drinking water and it's considered a food. So I guess as far as side effects that would really be none if it's like drinking water. I personally try to stay around the 2000 mg per day. 10,000 mg would be to much for me. I also read that's it's only in the body for 12 hrs so I try to take it morning and evening. I has done wonders for hair!
 
I take 2000 mg Distilpure MSM crystals - 1 teaspoon. I used to take 4000 mg - 2 teaspoons and got really good results. I just started taking 1 teaspoon to see if I get the same results.

The biggest things I noticed was the change in my NG. It was not all over though, more around my edges. Much softer texture.

I use distillpure too. I stopped taking it though. I think I was a little too triggerhappy and started off taking 2,000-4,000mg a day and it did a number on my stomach. I guess I need to start off slow and build up.


OT: I feel ya on the relaxer woes. I use silk elements last night and only 1/4 of my head is straight.
