Experience any side effects?
No side effects at all. MSM is one of the safest supplements. Some physicians recomend 20,000mg (20gram) dosages. And that’s where I believe the true benefits of MSM will be noticed. Why didn’t I take it in such high dose? Because I could only get my hands on the pill form, and the pill form is super expensive compared to the MSM Bulk/Powder form.
The pills are for doses in the 1-5grams, and the MSM powder is for doses between 15-20grams. (Low dose is recomended for arthitis and joint pains).

By the way people, for those of you taking curcumin, etc., experiencing constipation (and hard stools) as I was, MSM will help “to loosen you up.”

Hair and Nail Growth Study Concludes:
“Hair and nail growth, hair brilliance and nail lustre are significantly improved by supplementing MSM in the diet”
A recent double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study performed by Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D., showed that 100% of the subjects taking MSM (Methyl-sulfonyl-methane), a nutritional supplement that provides biologically active sulfur, showed increased hair growth compared to a group on placebo. Only one subject on placebo showed an increase in hair length.
Hair Brilliance
In addition, 30% of the subjects on MSM showed improvement in hair brilliance, while none of the subjects on placebo showed such an improvement.
Study participants Impressed
?All subjects supplementing with MSM were impressed with the changes in the health and appearance of their hair,? said Dr. Lawrence. ?The cosmetologists literally could differentiate which participants were on MSM by the appearance of the hair, alone, after six weeks.?
Nail length and thickness
A second double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot trial, conducted simultaneously, showed that 50% of the subjects on MSM showed increased nail length, thickness and lustre compared to the group on placebo.
Approximately 10% of those on placebo showed increased nail length growth. None of the subjects on placebo showed an increase in nail thickness.
Efficacy Study Confirms Benefits
Cathleen London, M.D., a Boston-based family practitioner, said ?I have been prescribing MSM for my patients experiencing pain from arthritis and fibromyalgia, and they kept saying how great their hair and nails looked. It?s good to see an efficacy study confirm that there are benefits in this area.?
Study Conclusion
Based on the results of the trials, Dr. Lawrence concluded:
?Oral supplementation with MSM is a valuable addition to hair and nail growth. Hair and nail health was significantly improved in a short term of six weeks. If the trials were continued for eight to sixteen weeks, I feel the results would have been even better for those on MSM.?
Hair Growth - Study Details
The hair trial involved a total of 21 patients ? 5 women and 16 men. Data was collected by certified cosmetologists under the direction of Dr. Lawrence.
The trial parameters included hair length, brilliance, and diameter of the individual hair shafts using industry standard measurement scales.
Nail Growth Study Details
The nail trial involved a total of 11 subjects ? 10 women and 1 man. Again, data was collected by certified cosmetologists.
Trial parameters included nail length, thickness, lustre and general appearance using industry standard measurement scales.

Where the f*ck did I say it was good. lol you have no life attt alllll
sad
I am beginning to think you made all this up about trying MSM,
Either that or you are going to be NW7 Within a few years and nothing can stop it
then again being on all the dangerous drugs you are on, its no surprise naturals dont work on you, not good to mix the two, DUT is dangerous, anyone using it is taking a big risk
stay on the HM board , perhaps HM will be here next week and save your hair
better hope so
Well, something has been thickening up my hair recently, especially the crown area: Either its this MSM, Toco-8, or both.
In any event, I going to keep it in my regimen.
I have found MSM to be very beneficial for my hair loss. Dr. Armani strongly recommends it, and I have found it to be very beneficial and helpful in terms of helping my hair. MSM can be very useful post hair transplants.

Again, I don’t know how well MSM will work for hair loss, per se. It did nothing for my hair loss, when I used it for that purpose several years ago.
But it sure seems to be able to thicken one’s existing hair.

In addition to Hangin’s recommendation of horsetail,
here are some other supplements that make your hair grow like weeds:
Kelp seaweed
Siberian Ginseng
Lemongrass
Oatstraw

I definitely concur with this study. After my surgery, which was close to two years ago I began supplementing MSM based on Dr. Armani’s advice. It has definitely had a positive effect on my hair in terms of growth and the quality of hair. I definitely recommend trying MSM.

Added vitamin C to MSM, and it certainly has made a difference in the overall quality of my hair, one that I can see and feel. I am very pleased with this combination.

For me it was most noticeable in my skin…that was with Freelife’s MSM with Citri-C Complex.

Been taking ester C with Nature’s Way’s MSM.
When I used MSM/vitamin C to improve the condition of existing hair, rather than for the purpose of stopping my hair loss, I was able to see the difference MSM could make.
Visibly thicker hair can do a lot for one’s overall appearance.
