Hi

I am currently only taking 1600g of MSN a day (2 pills)

I take one after breakfast and one after dinner.

Since being on it, I have had allot of diarrhea and soft poo (its usually hard) I thought it would clear but it hasn’t, I want to start taking 3 pills a day to bring it up to 2400g a day but don’t want more diarrhea.

I stopped for a day or two put it made no difference. sometimes as soon as i take it it makes me wanna poo.

Anyone else experienced this? Apologies for talking about my poo

This is a new one to me mate - are you sure it wasn't the curry from the night before??

I have taken much higher doses of MSM and it didn't have any sort of laxative effect on me.

I think you're on your own here mate

Must be just me, but its def the MSM and nothing else.

Do most people take the whole dosage all together?

Is it pure MSM? I looked in a pharmacy in NY and there were about a 100 different MSM products with other stuff mixed in. The stuff I'm taking is just plain MSM. I've got some 500mg tabs I bought in NY, 1 gram tabs from Germany and 750 mg ones from Finland. I have a jar at work, home and in my car and I pop them throughout the day - not all at one time.

i have got Healthspan 800mg organic distilled MSM. Its opti MSM and is made to the highest purity standards.

On my jar it says do not exceed 3000mg a day.

Perhaps someone is playing a trick on you and has swapped your MSM tabs for laxatives



It says the same on my jar... I'm not overdosing that much, I'm taking about 4 grams a day... at breakfast, lunch and then in the evening. Some people are taking 6, 7, 8 grams a day. I think you need at least 3 grams to have any noticeable effect on hair growth. And I can work out at the gym every day without feeling any pain in my joints thanks to MSM

Is it just the joints? i played football yesterday and i usually ache a bit the next day, didnt ache one bit. could that be coz of the MSM?

It could be, MSM helps to relieve pain and inflammation (that's what it's intented for - faster hair and nail growth is just a side-effect).

Exactly its not a hair product its recommended mainly for people who suffer arthritis.

You have to slowly build up to the higher doses if you want to take that much. To avoid the problems being discussed here, that is
