MSM shows promise for hair loss
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF TOPICALLY APPLIED METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE AND THEIR COMBINATION WITH MINOXIDIL SOLUTION FOR IMPROVEMENT OF HAIR GROWTH IN MALE MICE.
Evaluates MSM's combined effects.
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.

Significant hair growth
Great for making my hair longer! As a 45-year-old woman who lost substantial hair after having two children, I researched hair loss. While my hair did grow back, it never reached the length it once was - two inches below my bra strap. My pregnancies seemed to shorten the anagen phase of my hair growth, leading to a consistent length that was disappointing. I tried various supplements, sceptically expecting little change. However, after taking these supplements for just under four months, I was shocked to see my hair reached the middle of my bra strap! Now, on my third bottle, my hair has grown a total of 2 inches longer in five months. I’m keen to keep using this to restore my hair’s former length!

Leg hair growth
New hair growth! I was seeking natural remedies for hair loss on my legs when I came across MSM. Within a week of taking capsules, I began to notice small white hairs sprouting on my legs. As these hairs progressed to about 1/4 inch, I observed new hair growth on my arms, fingers, and even my beard! I am eager to see if I can restore the hair that I lost prematurely by continuing with MSM. I also discovered its numerous benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and improved skin health. I'm thrilled with the results from this brand, and have yet to compare it to others.

Hair loss cessation
Stops Keto hair loss and brittle nails! About six months into my Keto diet, I faced considerable hair loss, alongside brittle nails. It was alarming noticing my hair falling out in clumps! Though some advised not to worry, I was anxious to find a solution. After encountering MSM in my research, I decided to try it. Remarkably, within a week my hair loss ceased entirely, and my nails returned to normal. I’m truly grateful to have discovered this remedy!

Reduced shedding
Great buy! After trying various remedies for my hair loss, I started taking this supplement. Within just two weeks, my shedding reduced by about 70%. I love the ease of taking it and the absence of an aftertaste.

Hair loss halted
Former sceptic here! As a middle-aged woman with ongoing hair-loss issues, I recently discovered MSM. I opted for pills instead of powder, wary of convenience. To my surprise, within weeks of taking two tabs each morning, my hair stopped breaking off in clumps while showering, and my nails improved. Though I know it will take a complete growth cycle to see the full benefits, the initial results are encouraging and have made me optimistic about further improvement. I’ve always had positive experiences with NOW supplements, and I truly hope this continues for others too!
