another question. i once saw someone say MSM was the opposite of lysine or something and i was wondering, i take lysine to prevent cold soars (it has been very sucessful for me) would adding MSM maybe effect this success? thanks again.
Goals = keeping what i got + possible re-growth. :2gunsfiring_v1:

IMO MSM is very important in a regimen and it suprisses me that more people dont take it. Firstly because it is the best thing to take to expediate hair growth, it also improves hair texture. MSM is also converted into DMSO internally and you may have heard of people having some success with DMSO. Personally i noticed a big diffirence in my hair after taking MSM for about 2 months daily at 3000mg, however like anything else its not going to do wonders for everybody. MSM also helps with joint pain and mild arthiritis which i had in my hands for several years and has now gone away. Dont worry about the MSM - Lysine thing that was just mis-information.

So whats the deal with MSM, It makes your hair grow faster? I´ve been looking for something that does exactly this. So is it proven for this?

You can buy MSM in any decent healthfood / vitamin shop. The purer the MSM the better, Lignisul MSM is said to be the best.

Heres a study on MSM and hair:

MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane)
A recent, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot trial, performed by Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D., showed that 100% of the subjects on MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane), a nutritional supplement that provides biologically active sulfur, showed increased hair growth compared to the group on placebo. Only one subject on placebo showed an increase in hair length. In addition, 30% of the subjects on MSM showed improvement in hair brilliance, while none of the subjects on placebo showed such an improvement. A second double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot trial, conducted simultaneously, showed that 50% of the subjects on MSM showed increased nail length and nail thickness growth 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. 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.â€￾ Pure MSM was used in both studies.

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, the results would have been even better for those on MSM.â€￾ 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. 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, luster and general appearance using industry standard measurement scales. “All subjects supplemented with MSM were duly impressed with the changes in the health and appearance of their hair,â€￾ said Dr. Lawrence. “The cosmetologists literally could differentiate which participants were on MSM by the appearance of the hair, alone, after six weeks.â€￾

Its usually just under the name of MSM.

Is that a real boxing match in your avatar or a kick-boxing match? That guy has a crazy kick!

MSM + Biotin = Strong Nails and Hairs (the onese that do grow, will grow faster)

Be advised MSM will in NO way help with the degeneration of hair follicles.
