You have questions, and we are here to answer those questions.
Remember, if you have questions, feel free to contact us! We will
gladly answer all questions concerning OptiMSM…
Is MSM Safe?
Studies have shown that pure MSM such as OptiMSM is safe for both
animal and human consumption. In fact, it is darn near impossible to
overdose on MSM. You will not find it possibly to overdose because
MSM is sulfur. Sulfur is a vital part of our body’s composition. In
addition, MSM is water soluble so we do not store MSM in our body.
Instead, we will urinate out the MSM our body does not use in a
specific timeframe.
Can MSM can allergic reactions or side effects?
This is perhaps one of the most asked questions. In medical
literature and studies, MSM has not been found to cause ANY allergic
reaction. MSM side effects are nil. However, many people have stated
they have an increase in stomach upset, loose stools, or skin rashes
with MSM. Most often these reactions are not due to the MSM but the
additives or fillers many companies use in their product. Just
because you tried that MSM product down the road does not mean you
will suffer the same reactions with OptiMSM. OptiMSM is pure sulfur
with no added fillers or additives.
Is MSM halal? Is MSM kosher?
OptiMSM is both halal and kosher. However, not all MSM products by
those other companies are kosher or halal. If you are not sure, you
should contact the manufacturer of the product directly. Halal and
Kosher products must meet specific spiritual requirements.
Therefore, it is important that even your dietary supplements meet
halal or kosher standards.
How much MSM should I take?
Clinical trials have proven that doses ranging from 1,500 mg to
6,000 mg per day is recommended. However, patients have taken up to
100 grams per day with no side effects. The recommended dosage will
usually vary depending on the manufacturer. This difference is
usually due to the purity of the MSM. Manufacturers can charge you
more for more pills. OptiMSM is pure MSM and provides you with
better choices.
I think I am allergic to sulfur. Can I still take MSM?
Well, it is impossible to be allergic to sulfur. Sulfur is the third
most abundant mineral in our body. Therefore, if you were allergic
to sulfur you would be allergic to your own body. Many people can be
allergic to sulfa drugs or to sulfites, but MSM is not a sulfa drug
or sulfite. MSM should be safe for any mammal in the proper dosage.
Can I take MSM while pregnant?
While there have been no known negative reactions for pregnant women
or their fetus(s) while taking MSM while pregnant. It is always
advised to speak with your healthcare provider concerning any
medication or supplement you may be taking while pregnant. While MSM
is safe, you should play it safe. After all, you want what is best
for your fetus(s) and your body during this special time. |
