Uses for MSM

[flowinlocks]

I have full bottle and a half of MSM capsules that don't expire until Jan.2011. I was taken them religiously until I noticed they were making me gain weight. I don't want to throw them away. Any ideas? Could I mix them in with hair oil or cond?

Apparently,it.could.be.a.reaction.to.the.sulfur,Flowinlocks:

Warning
# In an online forum moderated by biochemist Dr. Loren Pickart, certain individuals attested to gaining weight when taking MSM supplements. This might be because of an adverse reaction to the sulfur compounds, which can make a person bloated and retain water. If you experience weight gain when taking MSM supplements, discontinue use immediately.

I wish I knew because my skin was flawless and my joints never felt better.

The capsules just seem to take so long to dissolve...

I was just thinking the same thing about MSM FL. I have already taken it off my staple list and I may only take it in a glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM combo vitamin.

I like it's benefits of joint care and lengthening the anagen stage of my hair growth but not at the cost of gaining weight which seem to be happening to me no matter how well I eat.

I was thinking about opening up the capsules and using them in my conditioners/rinses myself. I'll do so with the remaining capsules I have left.

I was thinking the same thing, but I think we need to disssolve it first in hot water. I ran across this thread last night. It looks like no one has posted results. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=17253&highlight=msm+conditioner

Have you tried this? Did you dissolve it first?

I am using MSM, and it really helping me with my joints I have no pian , going up and down my stairs, as well as my sugar level. As for weight gain, no I loss ten pounds so far. I read that you have to drink plenty of water to help flush the waste off your body and that MSM help clean the liver and get fluid off your body. My feet and hands are not swollen anymore . I hope I keep losing weight , I am already overweight I dont need anymore weight on my joints. I start taken it Nov 3, 2009

I thought I was drinking enough water, almost a gallon a day. Sigh maybe it still wasn't enough.

 

[balancegoals2009]

Yes thats a lot of water , I drink about 8 glasses and trying to increase .

Yes, and I miss the results I was getting from it.

MSM gives me really scary vivid dreams i've noticed water weight gain as well. i've been taking 100 mg a day contained in a hair skin & nails vitamin supplement, and have been steadily gaining weight for the 6 months i've been taking it (which was odd, since i work out 4+ times per week). i'm going to discontinue using it, and just take straight biotin.

I just bought MSM from Trader Joe's today for the first time since it was 1/2 the price of my GNC vitamins

Thanks for the link FL. I have some Elucence conditioner that I can use to add the MSM to and will be trying soon. I think I am getting enough of it through my hair vitamins anyway so I will not be repurchasing the 1000mg bottle I have left. I just want to use it up somehow, ya know?

I was walking 3 to 4 miles a day and it seemed like I was doing nothing. I even watched what I ate. As soon as I dropped the MSM and picked up the Spirulina the weight started falling off .
