KALA HEALTH MSMPure Fast Dissolving Fine MSM Powder Crystals – US-Made MSM for Joint Health, Skin Appearance, and Hair & Nail Support – 8.8 oz, Organic Sulfur

This isn’t my first time taking MSM, but it’s my first time trying MSM powdered crystals, and I can already tell it’s going to be MUCH more effective! The fine powder easily dissolves in water— it’s pretty bitter though, so I mix a Tbs of MSM in about 1/2 cup of water kefir soda, drink it like a shot, then drink a full glass of water kefir afterwards to wash it all down. It’s definitely not my favorite flavor in the world, but after feeling an energy boost during the past few days, I already know it’s worth it! I’ve taken 1000 mg MSM capsules or tablets nearly every day for 10+ years (primarily Solgar, Now or Solaray brands ), very recently upped my dose to 2000 mg, and never felt any energy boost from capsules or tablets before. I originally started taking MSM to alleviate the creaking and popping in my knees (which it helped for many years) and for my achy back, and after taking it for a while, I also noticed my asthma symptoms were reduced, so I definitely think it has an anti inflammatory effect for me. I also have far fewer grey hairs and better skin than most people my age (no wrinkles at all, and my skin is still very smooth and supple). I now have very severe arthritis and DDD, which we think must have started 20 years ago, and I decided to up my MSM intake since. I can’t tolerate the Rx anti inflammatory meds. I’m really glad I found this because after only a few days, my joints already feel a little more lubricated, and I get a nice non-jittery energy boost almost immediately after taking it. Typically, before starting with this powder, I could sleep nearly all day long because of my pain levels, but not any longer, so I know this is good stuff! No digestive side effects or other negative reactions— other than the bitter taste, it’s all good! I honestly don’t think it would’ve been possible for me to manage my arthritis and DDD for so long without any Rx meds or other interventions if I hadn’t found MSM so long ago. I just wish I’d found this brand and this formulation much earlier! For the last 18 months I’ve also been using Kaia Health MSM gel as a topical treatment on my face, and also mixed in with my body moisturizer, and occasionally on my swollen knees, and I’ve been very happy with the results. So when it was time to try a powdered form of MSM, I knew exactly which company to trust. By the way, I purchased this product myself and paid the full retail price from Amazon, and I’m not receiving any discount or other consideration for this review. I rely heavily on reviews when I make purchases online, so I hope this is helpful for you, too! I’ll update my review if anything changes, but so far, this has exceeded all my expectations!

Amazing for joint health! My go to for any joint issues. Way more effective than glucosamine and chondroitin. This product has a very bitter taste, I found it is best mixed with a healthier juice like V8 Splash or maybe a Naked blend, something thicker than normal.

My husband has been using this for years and believes it’s the best.

I've been taking 2 scoops of Jarrow's MSM power for years (1 scoop is 1 gram). It helps your skin stay plump and glowing (it helps with collagen building), it makes your hair and nails grow faster (which i don't particularly like but put up with), and it also keeps you limber. i always feel like a creaky 80 yr old woman a day after I've forgotten to take it! It's also safe to give it to your dog to help keep them limber and/or help them with the pain of arthritis. I decided to go with this brand when I couldn't find Jarrow's MSM powder anymore. I picked this one because, like the Jarrow's MSM, it's "Opti-MSM," which gives me the assurance that it's been created in a clean lab, certified pure and made in the USA (to me, this is the most important thing). It's got .1% of silicone dioxide mixed in to keep it from clumping (or maybe they added it to keep it from clogging their machinery, who knows). For the most part, I think it's just as good as Jarrow's MSM. The taste is no different and I don't particularly care that it's got .1% of silicon dioxide added to it, as there is nothing dangerous about silicon dioxide unless it's in a very fine powdered form that's so fine it can create a cloud of dust when shifted (the possible danger comes from chronic inhalation). MSM powder just isn't fine enough to do that in my experience, so I'm not worried. The one thing I DO find annoying about it is that the container has some clumps. They're easily broken up by stirring or smushing with a spoon, but I never had this problem with Jarrow's MSM (Jarrow's also had "trace amounts" of silicon dioxide so I'm not sure what's up with that). Still, it's not a huge problem, and it's easily taken care of. BTW I've read that you should drink MSM pretty soon after you mix it with anything because MSM can deteriorate/evaporate quickly (it's definitely not meant to be stored once you mix it). This also means you should mix it with your dog's food (NOT their water) if you plan to give it to them. My dog has always gotten a couple spoonfuls of soft food mixed in with her kibble so she's never noticed the MSM I add to the soft food. If you don't give your dog soft food though, you could just sprinkle the MSM over the kibble and add a little bit of water to dissolve it all.

Wouldn't want to be without MSM! What a difference . . . Heals the body. Suggest you read the book on MSM to see all the possibilities. I had Nuropathy for months, couldn't sleep, annoying and painful. After MSM gone in 2 days. We also started sprinkling it on our dogs (3) food. Our 12 year old Bouvier struggled to get up and now she RUNS up the deck stairs!!!

Very pleased with the size of jar and price! This is an excellent MSM,so easy to take,just mix a scoop or two with orange juice & you can barely taste MSM. Excellent supplement,read up about it. Early days to tell if it’s making a difference but the supplement is good!

Been using it till half the bottle is gone now but not much hep in my opinion. Maybe for others its effective but not for me.

I am using it to grow my hair. Less shedding and good growth

I don't know if this is possible, but I only started taking this a week ago and I swear my constant back pain has almost disappeared! I have tried many different MSM products, and nothing has even come close to relieving my aches and pains like this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
