MSM is great! {my experience so far}

[MarieC]

I take 4000mg of the Vitamin Shoppe brand of MSM powder. I didnt have headaches or tiredness at all. I started by taking 1/4 tsp then gradually increased it to 1 tsp/day. I take it at night before bed. I've been taking it for approx 3 months now and I have had maybe 2-3 pimples since beginning MSM but they are gone within 2 days or so. My skin glows now and my pores have drastically reduced. I cant really say what the benefits to my hair have been because I also take other supplements, but I know for sure that my skin did not improve until I began the MSM. I also drink 64+ oz of water/day.

I think I will try this again. I tried this awhile back, but I had just added to my conditioner from a previous post recommendation. I will look for the powder from, because I can not do any more pills right now. I really hate taking pills, except for a multivitamin.

Does anyone use the Puritan's Pride brand of MSM?

I am. I have noticed the skin smoothing and pore shrinkage mentioned on the baords.

Side effects i experienced: a few more pimples :-( so i'm not happy, they go and then POW then go then POW!, headaches and vivid dreams...i wake up in the night too..

Benefits - my skin is so so smooth and pretty, nails growing very quick, libido is very mad right now lol, increased appetite (good fo us skinny girls), little scarring with my pimples (i always get a lil mark left behind when a spot goes, but now they just fit in with my freckles!) whoever mentioned about keloids flattening, i think your right i have one on my right arm which is real small and my skin tone but slightly raised..its flattening!

Verdict: because i'm getting more spots now, i'm considering stopping this amount and go for like 1/4 teaspoon (1,500mg) and then gradually take more, my skin is looking so good RIGHT THIS 2ND and i want it 2 last!

And I have never ever been able to grow nails. They would always break. But I have nails on every finger and I have been consistently using the MSM powder for only 3 weeks!!!

Okay, that's where these nails came from. I am like you. THey always break and peel. But now they are growing. No phenomonal lengths, but they look pretty when polished.

Yeah, I am taking MSM for hair and skin. Especially skin. I am currently trying to lose a lot of weight and I hope that the MSM with skin brushing will help alleviate the loose skin thing that comes from major weight loss. I am exercising and taking it off slowly, but still. Loose skin is inevitable.

Hopefully MSM will help.

MSM is supposed to whiten teeth also. I keep forgetting about this.

How does this work? Are you supposed to brush with it? Or does it do this internally?

I gram is alot, I think most of us are taking milligrams

I am taking pretty close to that. I take 8000mg a day (4000 mg twice a day)

I take that much because every where I read says that some people don't get good effects on the lower doses. 1000 and 2000 mg never did much for me.

My current dosage has caused the vivid dreams, fast nail growth and softer skin and scar tissue. I did not get that on the lower dosage.

I think that is what I need to do! When I began to take MSM, my skin was glorious! I stopped for two days and my skin didn't return back to how it was I'm thinking about pumping it up to about 4000mg a day!

Candy C,

What brand of MSM are you taking?? and where did you get it from???

I've been debating whether I should take MSM or not and have read so many threads and success stories... if I want clearer skin and want my hair to stop shedding so much, I guess I better hop on board the MSM wagon. :scratchch

 

[senimoni]

Ohh, not hair related but allergy season is here, there was a lot of pollen floating in the air the last few weeks and I'm not suffering like usually. My eyes itch a little but no more stuffed up-edness or sneazing attacks.

Well goodness! this sounds like the perfect all around beauty treatment. I just have a question for the ladies who take 1/4 or 1/2tsp with a jug of water. what does it taste like? i mean does it still basically taste like water? or does the water now have an overpowering mediciny taste to it? I have a jug at water at my desk that I drink daily and i wouldn't mind adding MSM to it, if it doesn't taste too bad.... I've just gotten off of The Pill so i've been shedding for the past 6 weeks, so i really could use something to curb the shedding. And I've started using ProActiv and wouldn't mind the extra help to make my face to glow!!!

I prefer to take mine in an 8 ounce glass of water so I get all the benefits right away. It's bitter but not unpleasant to me.

Funny story about MSM, i just got powder msm from bio alternatives and it says you can take it directly or mix it in any beverage, so i decided to try it directly (the worst idea i ever had) it was horrible !!!! i almost threw up but i kept telling myself " you are doing this for your hair , hold it in ! hold it in!!" .

We will do anything for our hair huh???

My experiences so far with a 5,000 mg daily dosage:

-my hairs curl pattern is much more wavy... to the point where it blow dries almost completely straight... and this is 9 weeks post relaxer!! I usually relaxer at 10 weeks but I don't know this time...

-my skin seems to be repairing itself... I mean the stretch marks are less visible.. my skin is smoother ( after the detoxification stage)...

-nails growing like weeds..

-and the energy is through the roof...

- last but not least my dreams are amazing!!!!
