- MSM & Nails
- Posted by Mickie
Just read the thread about MSM for nails and hair. How much must one take
to see the results. I understand the capsules are 500mg but I read
somewhere that you need 5000mg. Is this true?
Thanks

that much for just nails and hands. I take 1000mg. to 2000mg. depending
on the level of pain.

Clinical studies show MSM does help pain, particularly connective tissue
pain. It makes connective tissue both stronger and more pliable.
I take 1500 mgs a day, just for general health reasons.

What's your recommended dose for pain, btw? I see Lynn takes as much as
2000 mg. Are you in agreement here?

Certainly won't hurt you. My sister has been known to take as much as 4
grams a day, for allergies. MSM is considered "profoundly non-toxic."
Can't hurt you. OTOH, who wants to spend money they don't have to?
Most of the clinical testing has been done in the half-a-gram to
gram-and-a-half a day range. I'd start there, and see how it goes.
