MSM is great! {my experience so far}

Ive been on PP MSM powder since 9/1/05. My new growth is looser and I must look younger because younger men keep hitting on me:D It's also been great for my joints. I just placed another order - I'm getting 24 oz of powder for about $20. It lasts 9 1/2 months:lachen:
 
I've been using MSM Powder for about 2 mos. and I must say my face is very clear and my new growth hair has come in very soft. I am very pleased with this product. Usually my edges will start to show signs of needing a touch-up but so far so good.:)
 
I've been taking MSM for 2 weeks. I take the powder straight twice a day. I've noticed clearer, softer, more radiant skin. I've also lost 4lbs.

I'm now taking 1/4tsp 2x a day which totals 2000mg. I plan to increase to 1/2 tsp in the morning & 1/4 tsp in the evening on Monday. I'll increase by 1/4 tsp until I reach 4000mg.

The only negative side effect I've had is being tired the first week and a half.

Love This Stuff.
 
Funny...I was just in the bathroom mirror admiring my new skin before coming online and reading this post.

I definitely think the powder is the way to go. I used the msm tablets for a long time and never experienced the skin benefits the way I did after only a week and half on Vitamin Shoppe's powder.

Healthy skin glowing everyone!

Give it a try ladies! I take half a teaspoon (3,000mg) in my 1 liter bottle of water and drink it throughout the day. I have been having small headaches and had real small spots on my face (about 4 ) which cleared the very next day :confused: and now, after 7 days my skin is clearer than clear. EVEN my trademark freckles are fading (which i'm not happy about cos i kinda like them) and i dont mean to be rude but on a personal level, the earth has never moved for me so intensly b4 till now, all i can say is woooooooooooooooooo! Its like all my senses are heightened to the max!

ok, now for the hair. less shedding even when my hair is tangled like mad, and my regrowth is laying down extremely well. my flaxseed oils seem to work better now as my hair is remoisturized quickly if it has been dryed by the sun for example. its only beena week, and i've got so much regrowth i couldn't even pinpoint where it came from. after my relaxer i will then see how much growth i can achieve with this supplent, but its a keeper. the 1st symptoms are not really that bad (for me anyway) i had a runny nose too and was realllllllllll sleepy for a while, so its best to start this when your not upto much in the week.

How is everyone else enjoying MSM?, the other thread seems to have dried up, so i'm starting a new one!

What brand MSM are you using?
 
I started taking MSM at the beginning of the year. I take the a tsp in am and a tsp pm--straight. The results have been great on skin, nails and hair. My joints feel much better. It has also helped control my Lupus flares which is a BIG plus.

It is more effective when taken with ester C to aid absorption. Lots and lots of water help with the fatigue, headaches and breakouts. Love it, don't want to be without it!

I can't tell about the new growth because I have been natural for the last 10 years plus but, my hair fell out from Lupus Alopecia and then I had a BC in October 05, been taking it since January 06 and I am almost back to the length I was before all the problems (hair loss and cut).
 
Co-signing with all of the ladies! I bought pills because it was the only kind I could find, but I finally found a natural food store that sells the powder. I have had trouble for years with acne and my face is so smooth and silky. I have to stop from touching it. I drink about 80 oz of water everyday. My newgrowth is def softer. It doesn't take as much tugging to get it to lay flat when I do my buns. 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!!!
 
i also think MSM has helped my hair stay moisturized, even in the heat.. we're experiencing in England right now, this heat is tropical and my hair is still shiney without ANY form of oil or moisturizer.

my skin is so golden and plump and my energy is off the scale. the tiredness is going now and the spots have stopped. i'm gonna keep this in my regime anyway,until its done then re-assess my vitamin reg. even if it doesn't help growth in the long run i wont be dissapointed as i'm hardly loosing any hair at all and my hair is acting so strong. if it gives me an extra 1/4 1/2 inch a month then this will definately be a keeper. i hear its best benefit is lessening hairfall/shedding therefore getting and retaining longer lenghs..sounds good to me!! also my nails are briggght white .
 
How much is everyone taking?
I take 1 tsp of the powder form mixed with juice in the morning. And I try and drink lots and lots of water through out the day now, after the breakouts. My skin before then was clear and smooth.
I have been taking it for about a month and half now.
 
Scratchin my head...why do some get breakouts and some none? I know about the water thing and stating off with smaller doses, ...but other than that? bonjour
 
I have been taking 1 g for about 5 mo.s and had breakouts all the time although I drink about 2 lit of water a day. When I started biotin (5 mg) my skin normalized. So different strokes... my nails and my hair are great though :)

How can you take it straight? The one I have I can barely swallow with juice.
 
I love MSM! I've been taking it now for three months and I love my beautiful skin results, energy, long nails, softer newgrowth, more vivid dreams... I'm sure it's doing many other positive things too in my body. As Tenderheaded said, I'm getting increasingly more hits from young guys (I mean like high-school age) which I feel is related to the "MSM glow". It's flattering but sometimes it's very embarrassing too. :blush:

I take the powder form (I drink it straight in water then take vitamin C) from Vitamin World, (1/2 tsp) 3,000 mg/day.
 
I'm glad everyone is having positive results! You can't beat having your skin look painted on! And there are so many other health benefits besides hair and skin....do a Google search and you will be SURPRISED!

That is one of the best sites I have come across...

I take the Trimedica Brand... :)

I am excited! I just got my MSM capsules 1000mg today so I will take 3 a day. Anyone else taking capsule form?

I am...only to finish up the bottle then I'm switching to the powdered form..because it seems to work better from what I read...more potent.
 
Ebony said:
Can you all that post also include the brandof MSM you are taking? Thanks.

I take Vitamin Shoppe capsules 1000mg. I think I will increase to 2000 mg to finish this bottle and then switch to powder form.


I also get the vivid dreams like Isis mentioned.
 
UPDATE!!!

I combed my hair after 5 days and wow, all i can say is the comn literally glided thru my roots....well not GLIIIIIIIIDED but it was pretty easy 2 get thru considering the past weeks and the amount of regrowth i have. all my hairs had bulbs on except for the odd few.

and liek i said b4 i've either grown half an inch or my regrowth has stretched cuz my hair is at my boobs! cant believe my eyes.

This happened to me all weekend when I was at the beach memorial weekend. A few of them even asked my age :eek: . I think that's a little rude ..to ask a lady her age that is. They can assume that I am as young as I look :lol:
 
oh my!!! i need to be getting some of this... i was going to buy it AGES ago but thought to myself i'd just keep to the bioitin 'cuz its pretty expensive but it does seem worth it now!!!

I want it for the skin benefits more than anything!!!

Thanks for all the info... man i LOVE this site;)
 
Well, I got a compliment from some ladies at the Bobbie Brown cosmetic counter today they said I had beautiful skin I said thank yall,, thank you very much and though to myself I guess that stuff does work and I had sun glasses on
