Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My first order was for the smaller size. I wanted to get a feel for how my body would react to it before I committed to a larger container. I do not take pain meds unless I’m in excruciating pain. As a result, I’m super sensitive to anything I do take. I wanted to find a more natural way to treat the persistent right knee and low back pain I’ve been l with for about 2 years. DOSE: I am currently taking 4 tsp of the supplement first thing in the morning before breakfast. You need to work your way up to this amount. I started with 1 tsp daily and increased by 1 tsp about every 2 days. TASTE: Let’s address the taste straight on. It is BITTER! I mix it with a popular powdered vitamin C supplement and I don’t taste it at all. Plus the Vitamin C helps with absorption of the MSM. So I highly recommend mixing it this way. PAIN: My knee pain went away within a week of taking the MSM. The back pain took a little longer. I’d say about 3 weeks into taking it consistently is when I noticed I wasn’t waking up with excruciating low back pain. HAIR, SKIN, & NAILS: I read that there were some benefits for hair and nails and began looking for improvements in those areas. I noticed that my nails were a bit stronger and broke a lot less after about a month of taking. However, my skin (I have eczema) has improved DRASTICALLY! My skin is much smoother and the areas where there is hyperpigmentation, are significantly lighter. My skin isn’t as dry after showers as it once was. As far as hair, I’ve noticed that I have a lot of short hairs dispersed all over my scalp that are much thicker than the longer/older hairs. I assume this is a result of the MSM, as I’ve changed nothing else in my diet. I’ll update once I know for certain that my hair has grown/thickened significantly. FINAL REVIEW: I will continue to take this supplement for the rest of my life! I only wish I had know about it sooner. As a nurse, I am an advocate for finding natural ways to heal the body rather than treating just the symptoms. MSM seems that it would work wonders for anyone suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain. I highly recommend this brand as it dissolves fast and the taste really is palatable if you mix it with something to offset the bitterness.
