@TubZy looking at you here sir.

I know you've used 10g/day MSM in the past and it helped your hair.

Can you give further details?

How exactly did it help? Texture? grow faster? etc... did it make it thicker?

I know it increased your PFS sides.. can you explain that in detail please.

On the positive side, I think you said it made your skin nicer, as well as better hair.

I used it for joint problems 2 years ago. Definitely noticed that my hair was growing faster.
But did not notice anything besides thickness or texture.

That's helpful, thank you sir.

What dosage did you use?

So scalp hair grew faster, no change in texture or thickness or anything else?

Yes, I took a small amount of vitamin C with each dose as well (500mg).

I did 5 grams MSM with 500mg vitamin C twice a day.

In terms of results, yes my hair grew faster, it also looked darker (I believe MSM chelates copper) and thicker. It took about a week before I started to notice. My scalp itch went down a lot too.

It messed with me a bit at the time because I wasn't methylating properly and sulfur interacts big time with methylation.

Exactly what I needed to know.

Thanks man.

My facial skin is already looking better, have been using for maybe a week now. MSM 10-12g day along with 4g of Vit C powder.

I am shedding less by far as well.

I really didn't want to post this yet, as it's so damn soon, and I hate to be one of those guys.... but I styled my hair yesterday with clay and normally I'll lose a shit load of hair, but nope....

even after, brushing, etc... at the end of the day, and this morning.

Shedding is way, way, way down. (it could be due to another reason but I have no idea what)

I don't want to sing it's praises yet but if this continues, this is way more than I could have ever asked for.

To be continued...

Would Taurine be useful?

I've been using Taurine at 10g for quite a while now and tbh, I have not noticed a thing from it...

I actually dropped it recently (no reason, but yeah, don't see anything from it either way)

btw, I know you had issues with B5 hairloss.

Vitamin B5 Hair Loss

"I took vitamin B5 for 1 year in mega dose 1000mg per day. It cleared my skin but my hair started falling out and at the time I didnt connect the dots and now it makes sense. It took a year after I had stopped taking it to stop falling. i started taking hairfinity which has MSM in it which is specifically for hairloss. I also started using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner. My hair grew back twice as thick within a year. It was a horrible thing to go through. I think I will take B5 again but in smaller dose 500mg and with biotin. Does anyone know if this stops the hair fall?"

Yea B5 and accutane... I used mega MSM doses about 10yrs ago, don't remember getting any benefits from it. Might have to re-visit.

Going through some massive TE at the moment, losing so much density, just waiting on hairtest results to see what minerals to balance up and down. Will be curious of my copper/sulfur levels.

You used MSM pre or post B5?

Post B5, but I didnt use it for more then 2months

Did you use tablets, capsules, powder?

I've used Swanson Tablets (1.5g per tablet) in the past, at high dosages, never noticed anything from it.

I am using NOW brand MSM powder right now.

It was 500mg tabs I believe. Do you show low sulfur on hairtest, if you have one?

That is awesome man. Most people take a few grams for like a week and then toss it and say it does nothing. Need WAY more than that. Also, 10 grams isn't what you have to do, that is just what I did, so feel free to go higher if you want to experiment. MSM is like the same or super close toxicity dose as like water so you got plenty of room.

Some other things you can add is silica and/or EAA's/gelatin with the MSM.

You see this thread Mcdonalds Fries Regrow Hair

Prob can just pick up some cheap silica from horsetail or bamboo and add it with it.

I have 4lbs MSM on the way. Will play the dosage, likely go up and see..

I am sticking with the exact same brand I am using right now (NOW brand) even though I could have bought another brand for cheaper. That's how good I feel it's working right now.

I've used bamboo extract 70% (I think) from swanson, this was years ago though... interesting indeed.
