Hey everyone, so I take MSM daily as just an overall booster for my hair. I like how it helps it grow faster etc.

I stumbled on this study, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19336900, which says : "MSM significantly inhibited the release of nitric oxide and prostaglandin E(2) by alleviating the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells."

Now I know nitric oxide is critical for erections so I was very concerned when I read this. My question is: is this saying it is only lowering NO when it is released as part of inflammation or is it just lowering NO overall, regardless?

Any insight on this is greatly appreciated!
