How long before you see any results. What are the side effects?

I don't know the answer to "how long" but for benefits, check out this thread. Side effects...I don't know of any.

I started taking Triflex from GNC several months ago for arthritis in my hand. Triflex contains glucosamine and chondroitin and MSM. I noticed my hair was growing at a much faster rate. After 8 weeks I had a lot of new growth but the new hair was so soft and manageable that I waited to extended my re-touch another 2 weeks and then another 2 weeks. I am now into my 13th week without a re-touch. I have NEVER, EVER been able to do this without breakage and unruly hair. I came up on MSM for a health concern and received the benefits of hair growth. I never attributed this to the MSM until I started reading what other were staying about this product. I drink plenty of water while taking MSM.

I never broke out from taking it however, I did notice my skin itching. I would advise speaking to your physician or pharmacist before taking it - just to be on the safe side.

I've been taking 1000mgs of MSM twice a day for about a month and it has to be the best supplement I have ever taken!!!! I saw results in just 3 days (skin started feeling like velvet!) ... now my hair (8-9 weeks post relaxer)is growing in wavier and softer! I'm thinking I dont want to relax anytime soon...maybe i can hold out till x-mas
