Hey ladies!!!

No, since I'm also taking a multi.

Currently taking 3-5,000 mg of Jarrow Formulas daily for now. Not sure if I will ever increase it beyond that amount as yet. I love what MSM does to my skin and joints. Skin is glowy and smooth and removes any joint pain I might be having. It actually softens my curl pattern and keeps hair on my head much longer than without it. Definitely a keeper.
ETA:
I think I will look into getting the Doctor's Best brand next and see if that works better since one serving is 1,500 instead of 1,000 mg.
