MSM Curing Baldness?

MSM Curing Baldness?

A recent study published in the Natural Medicine Journal explored the effects of MSM supplementation on hair health. The study found that MSM supplementation was effective in reducing hair loss and improving hair diameter and thickness. The research involved 63 participants and indicated that oral supplements with MSM may enhance the appearance of hair and nails. Based on the results, MSM supplementation was effective in reducing hair loss and improving hair diameter and thickness. Further, it is suggested that MSM may soothe the scalp and support healthy hair by reducing inflammation, which can contribute to healthier hair growth and prevent hair loss.

 

HOW DOES MSM AID HAIRGROWTH?

MSM acts as a building block for the protein of the hair, keratin, and is known to promote the formation of bonds at the follicle level, strengthening existing hair strands and aiding in the emergence of new growth. This study has shown that MSM can help make hair thicker, increase hair growth rate, and enhance the shine and volume of hair.

Inflammation in the scalp and hair follicles can potentially contribute to dandruff, itchiness, and other conditions that can result in hair loss or stunt hair growth. By reducing inflammation, MSM may soothe the scalp and support healthy hair. In this study, 75% of the subjects noticed their hair to be less brittle after using MSM, and this percentage increased to 87.8% after 120 days. Over 80% of the subject population also noticed increased/improved hair amount and hair thickness. Growth of new hairs was observed by 92.5% of the subjects, and 80% of the subjects declared their hair was more voluminous, indicating a significant role of MSM supplement for providing nutritional benefits to hair. MSM is also known to aid in the production of collagen and keratin, two proteins vital for hair growth. Collagen provides strength, while keratin makes hair less prone to breakage.

This study suggests that MSM supplementation may offer benefits for hair health, including reducing hair loss and improving hair appearance. For more information, you can access the full study in the Natural Medicine Journal.

    Hi Denise,
    We recommend taking at least 1 teaspoon daily in the morning. Once your body adjusts, you can increase the dose to notice more benefits :)

    Hi Laurel,
    The benefits of MSM, as referenced in this study, were seen when taken orally. Subjects of the study took one 1000mg capsule of MSM for 120 days and found that their hair was significantly better in density and follicle size. Alternatively, it can be used trans dermally as well, in a spray with water onto the hair. There is less research into the effects of this application of MSM.

  • Denise Dustin

    I’d like to know too, how do you use MSM for your hair ?

  • Laurel McLeay

It plays a key role in supporting connective tissues, promoting flexibility, and assisting the body's natural recovery processes.

How to Use

  • Start small: Take ¼–½ teaspoon per day (or 1–2 capsules) to avoid detox effects.
  • Increase gradually: After a week, slowly increase to 2–6 grams daily (5–6 capsules), adjusting based on your needs.

WARNINGS: If taking strong blood thinners, do not take MSM without your doctor's approval. Not to be taken by children without a health professional's advice.  MSM can also interfere with the accuracy of the blood test for liver enzymes by sometimes producing false positive results. It is recommended you cease taking MSM at least 4 days before these blood tests. You can resume after the test.

How much MSM should I take daily?

  • Start small: ¼–½ teaspoon (or 1–2 capsules) to allow your body to adjust.

Should I choose MSM capsules or powder?

What is the science of MSM?

Sulfur is essential for keeping your skin firm, joints flexible, and connective tissue strong. MSM provides a natural source of sulfur, helping your body produce collagen and elastin—the key proteins that keep skin smooth and resilient. Nearly half of your body's sulfur is found in your skin, muscles, cartilage, and bones, making it crucial for overall strength and mobility.
