com MSM Powder - Methylsulfonylmethane, MSM Supplement, Nutritional Supplement - Gluten Free, 3g per Serving, 100g (3.5 oz) (Pack of 1)

This looks like large grains of sugar and sure tastes like full strength. A characteristic, very bitter, taste. My method is two doses, and have worked up to the max dose on the label. I dump it in my mouth and immediately follow with juice or tea to wash it down. Then a meal, which tastes fine. The taste does not linger that way. NOT something to add to a food or drink! Unless you want to taste it in every swallow. This is a sulfur-containing mineral, used to lower oxidative damage and inflammation. It can be difficult to get enough of this mineral in food, it depends on the kind of soil or feed. Taking it by mouth moves it the most swiftly through the body, to promote all kinds of healing. I have been very impressed with its performance. I'm eating a Carnivore diet for autoimmune, which must take most of the credit for my continuing remission, and recovery of function. Turns out, I am reactive to plant toxins, but especially oxalate. This supplement streamlined my ability to detox from it. Symptoms vary. Mine includes rashes, digestive upsets, and flu-like malaise. (The book, "Toxic Superfoods" by Sally K Norton, has a complete guide to oxalate healing.) I call it a master supplement because it works through the whole body when taken by mouth. But also versatile as a topical treatment. I put some in thin lotion for a rash. Added to water to soak an achey foot. It can increase mental acuity and help muscles recover after a workout. It has a wide range of action. I must emphasize that adding supplements to a bad diet helps, but healing won't go as far without proper macros. The body needs lots of protein to heal and rebuild, enough animal fat to make all the hormones, and low enough level of carbs so the body does not have insulin resistance, which grinds healing to a halt.

Product seems fine and of good quality and value. But the resealable bag is very poor quality and will not reseal. I drive a tractor trailer across the US / Canadian border several times a week and need product to be in original packaging and not in a secondary container, due to Customs regulations. So, I most likely won’t purchase from Bulk Supplements again. Both the Creatine and the MSM packages will not reseal. If this is not an issue for you then I would recommend Bulk Supplements products.

This was a ''free in exchange for review "deal, and at 5 days in I am impressed enough that I know I will continue to order this. I became interested in this after seeing the results of Arthrimaxx for cats (excellent pet formula) in my kitty....I was impressed with how that worked and with the long list of benefits particularly from the ingredients Msm and Astareal astaxanthin...so thanks to the supplement review program here when my order of C crystals prompted this offer I knew I wanted to try Msm! Product quality/delivery/packaging..Always Excellent from this company! Taste: I prefer to add this into my large water bottle( 1/4-1/2 tsp), and either add 1000 mg C crystals to it, or take a C pill with it, this takes care of the Not forgetting the C or extra water issue...I don't find there to be ANY taste unless a slight lemon taste if I use the C crystals...so I would say if you taste it try putting in a larger amt. of water....I do think that even though I also throw some in my morning shake, that taking it in my water later in the day is nice because you get a slower longer release of it vs. the all at once of the shake, and it gives you a nice lift ( not like caffeine, but a definite lift and increase in energy)....also since heat can destroy this in natural foods, that's why I don't put this in my coffee etc.. Gradual Buildup: I did this with my cat and with us...My husband has gout so I was particularly interested in this helping him, but he is also prone to cramping, so I wanted to introduce it slowly..we split a shake, so I used 1/4 tsp the first 2 days, now 1/2, will probably go to 1 tsp ( maybe more, but he doesn't drink as much water as I do)...for myself, I added the extra 1/4- 1/2 tsp in my water in the afternoon and that's when I really felt like I could tell a discernable difference. ( my expectation with the shakes were that it would likely take a month or so and that it would be a subtle change) What I noticed: I have no joint pains etc...but am prone to headaches...I noticed that in the water with the C,( and sometimes green coffee pwdr also Bulk Supp.), if I am feeling a bit of a headache or sore throat that it definitely takes the edge off...if I I do take a half of an an ibuprofen it seems to amplify the effects of it ...I always try to save that for a last resort though years ago I used to take 'em 4 at a time, several times a day! ( its amazing what getting rid of food additives and eating more plant based diet will do!!!)...the pain relief seems to last about 4-5 hours, as does the "lift" in energy and endurance....as far as side effects, none except first time I dumped the 1/2 tsp in my water, a little gas for a short period of time In my cat ( from arthrimaxx)....within a week a Marked improvement in the limp and in overall happiness energy!, a little more thirsty but no problems ( and I was worried cuz she's my sensitive tummy baby, though I did read that msm can help an acidy belly!) Detoxing: Everyone is different and since we have cleaned up our diet a lot over the past few years, we don't get as strong detox symptoms so if you are just starting out on that journey, EXPECT some of these effects ( headache, skin, fatigue etc..), and please don't just assume its a side effect...drink extra water, and back down the dosage if you must but stick with it!...and if you are taking this for the skin effects...clean up your diet and especially get rid of msg ( watch" hungry for change") and all artificial sweeteners, that alone made a MASSIVE difference in my skin and migraines!!!!! I wish someone had told me that in my teens!!! Skin: took the Astareal (sports research brand 12mg black bottle) for 10 days prior to this..made my skin more plump & supple, gave me a really nice ( subtle but nice) colour to my skin ( much like when we started juicing carrots and I got a light golden colour and everyone thought I'd been tanning, this added a nice rosey tone)...also started fading my obnoxious sun spots and allows me to skip the sunscreen when gardening! The Msm made my skin clearer and finer textured, and helped clear up minor breakout quickly, I think it is also helping with the sun spots...tightened up a little too, the two together are a nice combo...I even made a toner by putting 1/4 tsp msm in a shotglass of water Love it!! ...btw use only on clean skin, as msm is a transporter good and bad, so following up with moisturizer Good...using it as a quick cleaner and risking letting bacteria go deeper Bad! ( in fact I'm careful with it for that reason even when putting in my water, I always make sure my hands are extra clean when handling it and I store it in a Glass jar) It occurs to me that years ago I tried proactive wich made me worse EXCEPT the masque wich I think was Sulfur based hmmmm, I really liked that and this toner has that feel! Overall: supplements can take time, so I give at least 3 months to really decide, there have been hits and misses along the way, this is a hit, and although I started it mainly as a healthy additive, I have been impressed with the energy/pain relief/skin effects...Great price/Great company!

Powder is great, but I had never had msm in powder form so I was not ready for the strong taste. Yikes. I switched to capsule form, but I’ve always liked bulk supplements and their price. Just don’t love the taste this time.
