My name is Hairsnob and I'm addicted to MSM!
I've been taking MSM powder (1800mg - 1/2 tsp) at night with a half glass of water for going on a year now and my hair has thickened up tremendously. I rarely see hair in the comb and when I do it's only about 5-6 strands after a wash ... YAY
Now, the downside. My hormonal acne has been horrendous lately and I tried combining MSM with B6, Super B complex, Fish Oil and everything under the sun. I drink plenty of water but nothing helps. So I decided it's time to cut out the MSM and see if that's the problem.
So I skipped MSM a few days.... my acne got worse. So I started it up again but only about half the dosage and with much more water and I remembered about taking vitamin C..... but now I see WAY MORE HAIR IN THE COMB!!!
For those with shedding problems, MSM is a winner. But if you get acne you have to decide between clear skin and thick hair. I'm so disgusted right now because I'm afraid my hair is going to start thinning if I don't go back up to my normal dosage.
It's an addiction I tell you!! My temporary solution is to spread the MSM throughout the day in my water instead of all at once at night. So I'm taking 1/4 tsp at a time. I hope this shedding stops soon.
Also, I worked out at the gym and felt sore when I cut it down. My sinuses are acting up again. I'm telling you, with the MSM those problems were nonexistent!!
By the way, I've always suffered hormonal acne even before the MSM but it wasn't so bad, so MSM very well might not be the culprit.
Thanks for letting me vent. Feel free to chime in about your MSM experiences.
