For those of you that prefer to read, below is a transcription of the video above. 🙂
Yo, what’s up, guys? This is David Hoang coming at you from supplementsuperhero.com, and today I’m going to be talking about one of the MSM benefits that’s been kind of really, really investigated and really promoted over the years by a lot of people.
They say that MSM can potentially help with hair growth and help prevent hair loss, which I think was super, super interesting. And the reason why I got interested in this and why I wanted to do this video is because I recently actually reviewed MSM powder.
And the reason why I was reviewing it was more so because of its anti-inflammatory benefits and its ability to help fight swelling, potentially help fight arthritis pain……fight joint pain.
But what I didn’t realize was how many people were actually supplementing MSM to help with hair- to help fight hair loss, to help with healthier hair, to help prevent you from going bald. So, I mean, I found it really, really interesting so I want to dedicate this video strictly to MSM and its ability to help fight hair loss.
So, if you’re not familiar with MSM, it stands for methylsulfonylmethane. It’s a sulfur based compound in the body and it’s found commonly in a variety of foods like green vegetables, onion, milk, coffee. So it’s very much natural, so that part you don’t have to worry too much about.
It’s not some crazy artificial chemical that’s going to potentially cause cancer. It’s naturally occurring in foods and in our body, which is awesome.
Now, they say that the main reason why it’s linked to hair growth is because it helps build collagen in your body. Collagen is a very important protein in our body. It helps to keep our hair healthy in general, and on top of that, it helps with a variety of things like with the tendons in our body, with the organs, with our bowls, with our joints. It helps with a lot of basic necessary structural functions in our body, and collagen is something that’s very, very important.
Basically, the overall hypothesis is that if MSM helps to build collagen in our body, it’s therefore going to essentially help with hair growth and help with keeping your hair healthy, helping to build up that collagen that makes your hair healthy and grow strong.
And the thing is though, after doing a little bit of research behind it, the bottom line is, especially with MSM in general, is that a little more research is necessary. That’s sort of the bottom line.
There’s no really big scientific paper or scientific study, and I might be wrong on this, but just based on what I’ve read on the internet, there isn’t a whole lot of conclusive studies that show that MSM powder directly affects hair growth and will fight hair loss and will essentially prevent you from growing bald. Chances are you’re watching this because you don’t want to go bald, which I understand.
It’s kind of something that a lot of people struggle with and a lot of people deal with. But basically, there isn’t a whole lot of conclusive evidence that’s been done.
But the flip side of that is there’s a good amount of people who have these testimonials that absolutely swear by it. When I did my video on MSM powder and did that review, which is currently my most popular video right now on YouTube, there were tons of people commenting on that video, saying that it’s awesome, saying that MSM powder’s a great supplement to take.
There was one girl that commented on MSM powder, talking it up big time…. saying that it’s awesome….it’s amazing. A lot of people don’t know about it. So MSM is something that’s just really, really fascinating because there’s people out there who do swear by it that say, “Hey, I’ve taken MSM powder. It’s helped me significantly, helped my skin and helped my nails. It really helped my hair. It helped fight hair loss. It helped strengthen my hair.” So there’s people out there that really swear by it.
They say though, that when you take it, to give it up to three months to really see the effects, so that MSM can truly be absorbed by your body and you can really fully see the effects on hair growth.
Now, in my opinion, as to whether or not it’s going to help prevent you from going bald…..maybe, maybe not.
I know that answer kind of sucks, and that’s kind of the answer you’re going to get, in general, when it comes to supplements, especially some supplements like this, like MSM powder, that still need more research to it.
But maybe, maybe not, unfortunately. It might help you. It might not help you. But I would say give it a shot. Or not. Obviously, it depends on where you’re at.
But, for some people, I don’t think it’s going to help. Even if you buy it, even if you use it, it’s not going to prevent you from going bald. Some people just have that genetic trait in them. It runs in their family; if you’re prone to male pattern baldness, there’s a good chance that you’re going to go bald no matter what, and the only way to cure that baldness is to get surgery.
Sorry, it happens. But yeah, I mean, for example, I’ve got uncles who are, I mean, everyone’s bald in their family. My uncle, he’s bald, and then all of his brothers, they’re all bald. They have the same gene, the same genetics, and they’re all bald. No matter what their exercise patterns are, no matter what their diet patterns are, no matter what the supplement, they just all went bald.
It’s unfortunate. But I would say there’s another group of people that do suffer from general hair loss and it’s not so much that they suffer from male pattern baldness. And I’m talking about females as well; women lose hair too.
But, for some people, as they age, as their body goes through generalized oxidative stress, stress in their daily life, stress through environmental factors, stress through not exercising right or not eating right- generalized old age, people have a tendency to lose hair. Not necessarily fully become bald or suffer at the hands of male pattern baldness, but they generally lose a bit of hair.
And, for those people, who suffer from just generalized hair loss, generalized hair thinning, not necessarily full-on complete male pattern baldness, I think there might be something to MSM that might help you.
And I think that’s where the benefits of MSM can really kick in because they say the MSM can help strengthen collagen and because it helps to strengthen collagen, perhaps it could help fight that hair loss. So, again, may or may not work for you.
There’s a lot of other factors too, that are involved. Other things like your diet, your exercise, the stress that goes on in your life. But, in general, I do think, I do truly believe, that there’s some benefits to MSM when it comes to strengthening collagen in general.
Also, another tip: they say that if you are to supplement MSM, and I’m not 100% sure about this, but based on what I’ve heard, they say it’s good to take MSM with Vitamin C. It helps to absorb better in your body and apparently helps create a nice synergistic effect that could enhance the benefits of MSM.
Again, that’s what I’ve heard. I didn’t personally experience that….didn’t personally try it. I did personally try MSM. I had sort of a neutral experience about it. Again, I’m not losing hair. I’m 28 year-old as I’m filming this video. Never really had much of a hair loss problem in my immediate family. So can’t really speak too much of that.
But anyways, hopefully that helps, guys. Hopefully that gives you a good honest explanation about the MSM benefit for hair loss and if it really, indeed, prevents you from going bald. So, hopefully this added some value, guys.
