MSM supplement showing signs of new growth

[Jeju]

Giving credit to things like Finasteride and minoxidil after being on them for years and only seeing regrowth after a month on MSM. That is like a fat lazy worker suddenly trying to pick up the pace to share the credit for the recent company boon after the hire of an energetic young lad. finasteride and minoxidil are a neverending cycle of growth and shedding for many, to the point where you lose track if you are any better off than when you started, and most of the time you are in fact worse but settle in the theory that you'd be worse off if you hadn't taken them

I hope MSM is different in that you can see constant growth. It *IS* causing regrowth of hairs, that much is indisputable in my case and others here, what remains in doubt is if these will go on to keep increasing in number and in thickness to the point of increasing density significantly. I believe MSM is the thing to take for early diffuse thinners, wish I'd known about it 4 years ago. Regrowth of particularly bald areas, well that's definitely doubtable, but I am seeing new terminals in temples (NW1)

I don’t take finasteride or dutasteride and don’t give them credit for anything.

I use supplements for my hair.

It *IS* causing regrowth of hairs

It isn’t. I’m an early diffuser myself and take supplements to treat this, which is working, but no MSM or any other supplements can give regrowth. They thicken existing miniaturized hairs. Some of these hairs you weren’t able to see before so when they thicken it appears to be regrowth, but isn’t.

 

[Jeju]

Yeah you could be right that it's just reviving some miniaturized hairs, bringing them back from a seeming grave. But there's also random new terminals in several places, so I can't call those former-miniaturized hairs. The likely miniaturized ones are the light ones sprouting all throughout

You could make the argument those "new" terminals are hairs that shed at some point and MSM is speeding up the cycle - time will be the judge of that but I'm hoping overdose of MSM is like a best case minoxidil scenario

Glad to hear it’s working. I might add it if I start shedding again.

I gotta say— MSM seems legit to me man. I haven’t had anything work this quick. And the way my itch went away after 2 days is indisputable. It’s doing something.

What MSM you guys buy? Im gonna try this.

I get mine in powder form from some local gym supply store. Currently taking 5 grams with half a gram of ascorbic acid in the morning and the same in the afternoon. No insomnia tho so might push the second dose to the evening to clear up my midday.

10g? Ouch. What brand are you buying? Decent quality MSM wouldn’t last long at 10g a day.

How is an MSM Topical supposed to work? Does it increase Blood Flow and reduce the tightness is the scalp?
What are your experiences with a topical version of MSM?

It's a reputable fitness chain but a 250g bag only costs $5.00 which is suspicious indeed. 10 grams a day lasts a month but 20 will go for 2 weeks. In any case, it's too far from the RU/CB realm for me to stress over purity. Besides, with such results I'm plenty content so far.

Any other user who tested it?

 

[Isneezedsohard]

It’s not an anti androgen as far as I kno.

 

[Isneezedsohard]

Funny enough I just realized the BiEstro i use has MSM in it! So I guess I’m using topical and oral lol

 

[Isneezedsohard]

Also I’m planning on hoping to 25 grams today. I may be getting greedy, but I wanna push this to its limit. I’m still experiencing ZERO sides (besides maybe occasional acid reflux). If anything, I weirdly feel healthier. Maybe it’s placebo.

 

[Isneezedsohard]

I hope msm has no anti androgenic activity

I don’t see why it would. Also, I’m already on dutasteride, and RU, and my DHT levels are almost non existent. I doubt it’s path is androgenic

Since I discovered the new hair growth I've also felt a huge decrease in aches and pains. Even working my long shifts outdoors I've literally no aches at all. Been on MSM for about 16 days, 5-10 grams per day and Topical. Done a load of research last week, apparently there is suplur in in rainwater and humans used to drink a ton of this, one of the reasons we're now deficient. Thinking back over the years if my hair gets soaked in rain then drys the texture does seem to improve . Also skin still looking better, incase I forgot to mention earlier .

 

[Isneezedsohard]

This stuff rocks

 

[recedingyt]

Is new body hair growth a common effect from those who are taking it? I kinda wanna add oral MSM to my stack but not if it means I'm gonna get hairier all over.

 

[Isneezedsohard]

Not that I’ve read. My eyebrows have gotten thicker. My hair as well obv. Nothing else

 

[Isneezedsohard]

Also just found that MSM is not only not bad for your liver, it protects to toxicity. This sh*t is awesome

 

[Isneezedsohard]

You're lucky I can't say I've had a full 8hrs of sleep since starting it but that's also what attests to its ability to aid in recovery time because even with 2hrs of sleep I can get through a day without a problem. Luckily I'm used to insomnia


I've seen a constant increase in eyebrow hairs and now also forearm and thigh hairs, as well as new similar growth in my mustache hairs. But I must have a strong native gene somewhere because it's not really giving me new beard growth at all. I'd say take it and see if the benefits outweigh the downsides, I don't think it increases hair where it doesn't already exist

I slept 11 hours last night lol. My sleep has been effected 0%

I slept 11 hours last night lol. My sleep has been effected 0%

I am using 9g per day in pill form and looking to add more but my bowels have to stabilize/"prove themselves".

What I have noticed is not lack of sleep but less getting up and peeing in the middle of the night. Perhaps, any bph problems have been lessened? I'm not sure I have bph but it is an androgen problem usually co-existing in male pattern baldness.
