What's the biggest size MSM pills come in?

[robot.]

I take 1000mg MSM pills daily, but I only take two and those suckers are big enough. Are there any pills that have bigger dosages? I know I'm supposed to work my way up to 10,000mg daily, but no way am I popping 10 of those a day.

TIA!

I have only seen the 1,000mg....I really do not think it comes in a larger dose...

Excuse the ignorance but why 10,000 mg?

Ive seen 1500mg at GNC but dont mess with GNC. Their MSM didnt dissolve in water like my other brand did. I want to take mine back now but I cant find my receipt.

i read it on a few different websites, about increasing the dosages until you reach 10,000 mgs daily. i could find it again, if you want it.

I think there's a website that sells bottles with 7000 mg per pill. I think AtlantaJJ knows about it.

 

[long hair dont care]

MSM is less toxic than water. You may take large quantities of it. And yes, too much of anything can be a bad thing. MSM to me is generally safe.

Really? Less toxic than water? I wouldn't say that, but it is relatively a safe supplement. However...

If you take too much MSM, your body will release too much waste at one time for your kidneys and liver to handle. This waste in your blood stream can cause all kinds of problems ranging from flu-like symptoms to re-experiencing the effects of drugs that you have taken in the past. For example, heavy caffiene users may feel extra-jittery. The key to reducing or eliminating detox symptoms is to start on MSM slowly so that the waste in your tissues is released slowly and to drink lots of water so that the released toxins will be flushed out of your body quickly.

"MSM helps control acidity in the stomach, so it can help ulcers. MSM coats the intestinal tract so parasites lose their ability to hang on. They are then flushed away. This could prevent colon problems.
MSM is no more toxic than water. It can never hurt anyone. If you overdose, the extra MSM becomes inert and just passes through your system."

I agree that taking a lot of MSM is harmful IF the toxins arent flushed out also. Thank you for that information Nonie. I agree that we should work UP to MSM while drinking tons of water.

 

[Nonie]

MSM is no more toxic than water = MSM is about as toxic as water not that it is less toxic

But you're right, it can help in detoxing. But many people do live w/o detoxing so if MSM doesn't detox you it won't be any more harmful. In other words, taking it and not being detoxed isn't harmful. High quantities are what detoxes but if you're taking it for your skin, nails and hair, there's no need to take high quantities and therefore there'll be no detoxing.

It gets harmful if the detoxing is done suddenly so that your kidneys are overwhelmed.

"MSM stands for Methylsulfonylmethane, a stable odorless metabolite of DMSO. MSM cleans the blood. MSM is less toxic than water. In its purified form, it is an odorless white crystal with a slightly bitter taste and looks very much like table sugar. "

All these different sources say different things but I think you and I both have come to the consensus that too much MSM is bad. Me? I lurve it
