Well I took 1500 mg a day three months ago of the MSM, and in two weeks, my new growth went from type 4b to 4a/3c.  Biut I stopped taking it because i got impatient and wanted rather to see growth more than a texture change!  I've been taking them for three days now, but I upped my dosage to 3000 mg a day.  As for Surge product, I didn't like it because it makes my hair revert back.  I'm gonna start taking shark cartilage instead to replace Surge.

It's alittle bitter but not too bad. I haven't tried it in chocolate drink though. I don't like soda but I think I'll try it in a few other things.

Grow Hair Grow,

I bought the powder MSM at my health food store and it's 1/2 tsp a day which equals 2,500 mg. I mix it in a little orange juice and I'm done. I've had good results with it.

You know, when I first started taking MSM I had the very large tablets which were 1500mg ea. I think. They were a pain to swallow, so I changed to the 500mg, but these are small, capsule coated ones w/ powdered MSM inside. Much easier to swallow and I sometimes open the capsule and take it in powder form- much easier to take than the "horse pill" ones....

i also dont know what the recommended doasage is. but its advisable to start with a small dosage in case of any side effects. i also take 3000mg per day. i started with 1000mg for like 6 months before i increased the dosage. whatever works for you.........

My daily dosage is 3000mg. I have the 500mg capsules also and take 3/am & 3/pm. I sometimes may split 2am/2midaf/2pm. I'm not sure what the recommended dosage is (if there is one).....

I thought for MSM to be most effective you have to take 3000mg a day... am I wrong?

I just bought the 500mg tablets. Should I take 2 tablets in the am and 2 in the pm for a total of 1000mg morning and 1000mg night or is 1000mg total daily sufficient?

yeah 1000mg is effective. you can upgrade when you dont experience any side effects like breakouts and migraines and stuff like that. goodluck!

you can either get the powder form which i prefer or get the capsules. since you'll just be starting with it, start with a low dosage. maybe 1000mg

 

 

Thanks... I bought some yesterday from GNC... it was the power but in pill form - you know ... pull the gelatin coating apart and out comes the powder... 1000mg's. Is that still effective?

Gurrrrllll, I ain't EVEN trippin off the way my hair feels (super oily) or smells (let's just say it doesn't smell Pantene-ish) with WGO, MTG, and everything else that I add to it! Oh well, what do you do cuz I sure won't be trippin when my hair is BSL, thick, and healthy!

I believe Surge is a protein (someone plz correct me if I'm wrong) and a mild protein can be used daily as long as you are sure to amply moisturize. That may have been the reasoning behind your initial breakage. I am glad that the S-Curl worked though, I SOAK my hair with it. I'm not too concerned about how oily my satin cap or pillow are as long as my hair is staying attached to the roots :-)

 

yea, i realise about the protein thing now! im the same as you, i really dont care about my pillow casses or head scarfs- till my mum starts complaining about me lying on her cushions with "my wild growth stinking head"
