NOW Supplements MSM

We explored the potential of Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) as a treatment to minimize hair loss. In our study, we used twenty male Wister Albino mice, carefully dividing them into four groups to test different treatments: a control group with distilled water, a group treated with Minoxidil, one with MSM, and a group receiving a combination of MSM and Minoxidil.

Over the course of the study, we observed that the mice given MSM experienced notable improvements compared to the control group. Specifically, hair growth increased, and hair follicle numbers were significantly higher in the groups treated with MSM, whether alone or in combination with Minoxidil.

Additionally, we found a reduction in tissue levels of 8-isoprostane—a marker of oxidative stress—in the medicated groups, pointing to MSM’s antioxidant properties. There was also an increase in vascular endothelial growth factor, suggesting enhanced blood supply to the hair follicles.

Our overall conclusion is that MSM shows promise in reducing hair loss through its remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in male mice. This research indicates that MSM could be a valuable ally in the fight against hair loss.

Great for my hair! This supplement has made a significant difference for me. Previously, I was taking an expensive sulphur supplement but noticed much better results from this one. It's my secret weapon against post-partum hair loss. My hair feels thick and healthy now!

MSM offers allergy symptom relief

Hewlings S, Kalman DS. Evaluating the Impacts of Methylsulfonylmethane on Allergic Rhinitis After a Standard Allergen Challenge: Randomized Double-Blind Exploratory Study. JMIR Res Protoc. 2018;7:e11139. doi:10.2196/11139

We aimed to understand how methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) impacts symptoms of allergic rhinitis through a well-structured randomized, double-blind study.

Participants, who were prone to allergic responses, were tested after taking varying doses of MSM following allergen exposure.

Interestingly, the results showed that MSM significantly eased nasal symptoms and improved airflow, making it a potential alternative to conventional allergy medications.

We’re excited by the findings, as MSM appeared effective without common side effects associated with typical treatments.

This really helps. My daughter and husband have severe allergies, and within a couple of weeks, they both see a great improvement in their allergies!

We explored the effects of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) on knee pain through a well-structured randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Involving 88 healthy participants, the study compared the outcomes of those taking MSM against a placebo over a 12-week period.

Results showed that MSM significantly improved knee health and overall well-being according to the Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure, with a notable difference in scores between the two groups.

This suggests that MSM could be a helpful option for those dealing with mild knee pain.

Immediate knee improvement

"I drank, I drink, and I will drink" - that sums up my view of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). If asked what I would take daily, the answer is definitely MSM! It had an almost immediate effect; my knees, which used to crunch, now do not. I also noticed improvements in my skin, nails, and hair. My hair stopped falling out after a month, their quality improved, and my nails became denser and smoother. I highly recommend taking MSM with vitamin C for even better collagen synthesis.

Eliminated joint swelling

Most Useful Review

MSM is an excellent remedy for preventing joint inflammation. Initially, I took MSM for a month, during which the swelling and pain in my knees diminished. However, once I stopped, the issues returned, prompting me to continue using it. I've been taking it for a year now and feel fantastic; the swelling and discomfort in my joints have vanished. I take 2 capsules in the morning on an empty stomach alongside vitamin C.

Back Pain details

Plantar fasciitis pain in my heel has vanished. I purchased this bottle about six months ago upon a colleague's recommendation for stiffness and body aches. Recently, I experienced excruciating pain in my left heel, making walking almost impossible. I believed it was plantar fasciitis or a heel spur, subsequently spending a small fortune on shoe inserts and new shoes to no avail. After starting MSM, the pain in my heel disappeared within days, although my arms remain sore. I wholeheartedly recommend this for aches and pains!

Tendonitis details

The pain in my arm from Tendonitis was so severe that I struggled to dress myself. However, after about a month or two, I realised the pain had subsided. Alongside this product, I also take Zerais, believing this combination will enhance my recovery. I purchased the veggie capsule from the same manufacturer and alternate taking it morning and night.

MSM improves knee osteoarthritis symptoms

Kim LS, Axelrod LJ, Howard P, Buratovich N, Waters RF. Efficacy of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) in osteoarthritis pain of the knee: a pilot clinical trial. Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2006;14:286.

We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial exploring the effects of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) on knee osteoarthritis pain. Fifty adults aged 40 to 76 participated, taking either MSM or a placebo for 12 weeks.

While MSM did show improvements in pain and physical function, there was no significant effect on stiffness or overall symptom scores. This means that while MSM might help with certain aspects of osteoarthritis, the overall benefits and long-term safety need more research.

My fingers have straightened since I began taking MSM. Rheumatoid arthritis has considerable inhibiting power.

Autoimmune Disorder details

KCNA2 autoimmunity diverse; immunotherapy beneficial

Arlt FA, Miske R, Machule ML, Broegger Christensen P, Mindorf S, et al. KCNA2 IgG autoimmunity in neuropsychiatric diseases. Brain Behav Immun. 2024;117:399. doi:10.1016/j.bbi.2024.01.220

We analyzed data from 35 patients with KCNA2 IgG autoantibodies linked to various neuropsychiatric issues, including cognitive impairment and seizures. These autoantibodies were notably present in cerebrospinal fluid in some patients and showed different subclasses in serum.

Notably, four patients saw significant improvement with early immunotherapy, particularly those with autoimmune encephalitis. The findings suggest that KCNA2 autoimmunity is varied, indicating the need for more research to clarify its role and therapeutic approaches.

Quality product recommended

Most Useful Review

This is a product I consistently order and consume. Once a joint is damaged, recovery can be prolonged, impacting daily life. I trust this product for its quality and ingredients, and the effects are evident. It has a neutral taste; I simply swallow it in one go, so I cannot comment on the aftertaste.
