Frequently Asked Questions

Does MSM have any side-effects with use?

Very few health hazards or side effects are known in conjunction with proper administration of recommended dosages of MSM. In rare instances, there may be gastrointestinal discomfort and loose stools due to intake of greater than recommended doses. If GI upset occurs, it is recommended to decrease the dose. Taking MSM in two or three doses throughout the day with food also reduces the risk of developing GI upset.

Can MSM effect sleep?

It is not recommended to take MSM close to bedtime as it may cause an increased energy level and possible sleeplessness. It is theorized that MSM mildly inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. The inhibition of this enzyme allows the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to remain active longer. Acetylcholine can stimulate the nervous system.

Can I take MSM with heart medications?

Anecdotal evidence from clinical practice with MSM indicates that it may have a mild blood-thinning effect on platelet aggregation.Platelets are blood cells that help in clotting. This can be supportive of health as excessive platelet formation (aggregation) is associated with heart attacks and strokes. However, if MSM is taken with prescription blood-thinning medications, this may prolong bleeding and clotting time. This is undesirable in the surgical patient and should be discussed with a licensed healthcare professional.
