There's a lady who sells MSM in the southwest who says it detoxifies but that isn't true. You'll be fine. I recommend OptiMSM which is sold through different brands. Why? Because other brands contain traces of solvents because they aren't refined enough. I recommend Source Naturals Brand plain powder (the finer particles dissolve faster) dissolved in water twice a day on an empty stomach along with a moderate dose of Vitamin C. I prefer plain Ester C with no bioflavonoids taken out of the capsule and mixed with the MSM. I use a quarter capsule with each dose of MSM. I personally take one teaspoon of MSM twice a day. Wait twenty minutes to eat anything. Taking it along with fruit or fruit juice is o.k., however, as long was it isn't an abnormally large portion. I don't take it after dinner.
Most people need MSM. Hair and skin problems should improve.
You should start with a smaller dose than me and slowly work up. If you feel sluggish or have gas or bloating, cut back. Use room temperature water.
