Question:
Has any tried MSM to prevent hair loss?

I went to GNC and they told me that MSM is bought by many bariatric patients. I looked it up in a nutrtion book and it did say helps with hair, healing, pain amoung other things. I just wanted to know if anyone has tried it aand if it helps.    — Marla B. (posted on March 18, 2002)

I use the MSM powder. I mix it in the a protien drink or a glass of juice. I am pre-op, but I am convincing myself that the MSM is going to help counter-act my hair loss. Even if it doesn't, it is GREAT for joint care, among other things. All it is is a cartiliage supplement, and it is generally used for joints, but a side effect is that it makes your hair stronger, thicker, and it makes it grow faster. I am taking the protien drink now (pre-op)because I have also read that increasing your protien levels before surgery can really help with healing...besides...protien just makes your intestins stronger anyway.
