Hey Den! i would take these but i'm scared of overdoing it on the vitamins. i already take flax, b50 complex an a-z and biotin. how will you know if your overdoin it?
I think you should be okay, however if you decide to try the MSM email me and i will tell you a suitable dosage to start off with. I also take biotin and silica, and have no adverse effects, but i also have a bad diet so these vitamins are very much needed for my health. MSM works as a detoxifier and is safe non-toxic mineral, it is as harmless as water, it is vital to drink lots of water to flush the body of toxins. Here is some imoprtant information bout msm
Health benefits
MSM or Methylsulfonylmethane is a nutrient, a normal metabolite, or by-product of dimethylsulfoxide, better known as DMSO.
Scientific research has shown that MSM:
provides flexibility and porosity to cell walls
scavenges free radicals
relieves allergies to foods and pollens
helps the liver produce choline
controls acidity in stomach and ulcers
can coat the intestinal tract to prevent parasites adhesion
helps with hypersentitivity to drugs
increases the body's ability to produce insulin
has an important role in carbohydrate metabolism
has been shown to speed wound healing

How to use
If you are using capsules:
Start taking 1 MSM capsule twice daily per 30 pounds of body weight.
Take with meals or juice.
For optimum results, use in conjunction with a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables. For accelerated results increase your intake as desired.
If you are using powder:
Start taking ¼ teaspoon of MSM powder twice daily per 60 pounds of body weight.
Take with meals or juice.
For optimum results, use in conjunction with a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables. For accelerated results increase your intake as desired.
If you are using Torpedos tablets:
Take 1 Torpedo tablet twice daily per 60 pounds of body weight.
Torpedos tablets are easier to swallow and dissolve more quickly than capsules or conventional tablets.
Dosage:
MSM is no more toxic than water. Any excess of MSM in your system will stay in the bloodstream for 12 hours, removing toxins and cleaning the interior walls of arteries.
A single dose of MSM is usually not effective in ameliorating symptoms. Noticeable results are usually seen within 2-21 days.
The amount of MSM in each dose is not critical, daily dosages from 150-5000 mg per day may be ingested and put to work internally. However the benefit of MSM is enhanced when coupled with equal amounts of ascorbic acid and vitamin C.
MSM is found naturally in the human body (in the blood, and in the organs).
MSM has been detected in normal human urine
The natural level of MSM in the circulatory system of an adult human male is about 0.2 parts per million.
Normal human adults excrete from 4 to 11 mg of MSM per day in their urine.
In mammals, the concentration of MSM in the body's various storehouses decreases with age, possibly as a result of changing diet or body metabolism. Some research suggests that there is a minimum concentration of MSM that must be maintained in the body to preserve the normal function and structure.

Caution
Keep away from small children.
MSM is useful and safe. The dosage ranges widely from 1 or 2 g daily up to 80 g daily.
Consult a physician first before consuming more than 80 g of MSM per day.
"A couple of grams a day would be a good general dosage," says Dr.Jacob. "I would be very careful in the 80 g (daily) range - that much is best used under the watchful eyes of a health professional."
One in five people may experience negative detoxification symptoms in the first 10 days during which toxins are flushed from the system. Symptoms may include:
Diarrhea
Skin rash
Possible headaches
Several days of fatigue
In general, the more intense the symptoms, the more toxins there are in the body, and the more MSM is needed for detoxification. To reduce toxic symptoms, if you suspect Candida or metals, it is advised to start with a lower dose of 750 mg, 2 times a day and build up to 3,000 mg twice a day.
Otherwise for a maximum benefit, it's recommended to use an initial "load" dose of 3,000 mg twice a day. After the initial treatment, physical energy levels should increase.

Why is this product so special?
What MSM is:
MSM or Methylsulfonylmethane is the third largest solid component found in the body, a pure white sulfur powder that comes from the ocean. MSM is a natural part of every cell function and is concentrated in the connective tissues of the skin, nails and hair.
MSM is a nutrient and a normal metabolite, or by-product of dimethylsulfoxide, better known as DMSO. Chemically, MSM is DMSO with one added, stabilizing atom of oxygen onto the sulfur, i.e., CH3SO2CH3.
MSM is a ubiquitous compound in the diet of all vertebrates. MSM and its precursors derive from vegetables, fruit, fish and meat. Interestingly, one of the richest sources of MSM in the diet of mammals is milk.
Industrial food refining and processing (heat or drying) remove MSM much in the same way as they deplete vitamins and minerals. MSM helps our bodies utilize the vitamins that we take, thereby providing the means to derive the maximum benefit from them.
MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms, and is present in low concentrations in our body fluids and tissues. It is a natural component of many fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat. It is also found in tea, coffee, chocolate and milk. However, unless your diet is composed primarily of raw foods, it is unlikely that you are receiving enough MSM for proper health management.
Yet, ironically while sulfur is clearly essential for health, it is not officially regarded as such by the US Academy of Sciences, which establishes nutritional recommendations for the FDA. In addition, sulfur, per se, has been one of the least researched nutritional minerals. Interest in MSM has grown tremendously however, over the last few years.
What MSM does:
MSM, an organic sulfur found in all living organisms is a non-toxic metabolite of dimethylsulfoxide or DMSO that delivers health and nutrition at biochemical levels. It detoxifies and increases immunity, flexibility and blood circulation. It provides flexibility and porosity to cell walls, allowing nutrition into the cell and toxins out of the cell.
Sulfur is a key component of connective tissues and joints, and is needed for enzyme activity, hormone balance, and function of the immune system. As a central component of collagen and connective tissue, sulfur assists the body in preventing inflammation and facilitating repair of connective tissues.
It is estimated that the human body uses up to about 1/8 teaspoon of MSM each day. It needs to be replaced on a regular basis. Good health practices involve replacing essential substances that our bodies naturally use up or lose through illness or abuse. For general use, MSM should be taken internally as a food supplement.
Sulfur has an important role in the body:
Sulfur is necessary for collagen synthesis. Collagen is an insoluble fibrous protein found in vertebrates (species with a backbone or a spinal cord) as the dominant component of connective tissue fibrils and bones.
Sulfur is involved in metabolic synthesis and is a metabolic catalyst with the B vitamins, thiamin, vitamin C, biotin and pantothenic acid.
This element is one of the most abundant in the body.
Sulfur is a component of amino acids (methionine, cysteine, taurine), vitamins (B1, biotin), hormones (insulin), coenzymes (coenzyme A) and antioxidants (glutathione, N-acetylcysteine, alpha lipoic acid).
Because sulfur is necessary to build disulfide bonds, which hold together tissues, it forms part of the body's physical structure, including protein, collagen, glucosamine, skin and nails.
MSM is therefore necessary for collagen synthesis in:
the skin
hair
nails
bones
muscles
organs
Consumption of MSM is known to:
soften tissues
relieve stress
relieve asthma
relieve arthritis
relieve inflammation
relieve constipation
relieve candida
detoxify the body
increase blood circulation
reduce muscle cramps and back pain
permit muscles to heal
increase energy
promote mental calmness
improve mental concentration
MSM as a therapeutic nutrient:
Many studies conducted under controlled conditions indicate that MSM may be a potent therapeutic agent. These include studies on:
Allergies
Breast cancer
Colon cancer
Energy
Hypersensitivity
Antiparasitism
Lupus
Scleroderma
Stomach acid
Arthritis
Breathing
Diabetes and hypoglycemia
Hyperacidity
Immune system
Interstitial cystitis
Muscle and joint pain
Snoring
Based on its growing use and positive anecdotal evidence, MSM is developing a strong following as an effective natural, over-the-counter remedy.
