Seems to be helping my knee and hip

Fast delivery. Good ingredients.

So bitter tasting. I dread taking it, but tolerate it because I am hoping it helps with my joint pain. We will see.

So first off I’ll say that I love MSM & have been taking it for years. I started off taking it for hair growth after finding out about it in a forum 10+ years ago, and holy crap, it worked! Multiple people asked me what I was doing it worked so well, even my hairdresser was impressed. So if you’re buying it for hair growth, it will do that.Does it taste good? Heck no! I find it very bitter, and I have to mask it somehow (EmergenC & OJ work well and provide the Vitamin C it works best with) and down it quick. But it’s certainly not intolerable if you mix it with some juice then knock it back in a few gulps.After using it for hair growth I learned about all the other benefits it has and being in my mid-40s, I appreciate all the help I can get with skin & joints, too. I just feel better when I’m taking it, and I notice when I don’t, so I take a tablespoon daily.Now for this giant size. It was an upfront investment for a significant discount. Mainly the other sizes we’re going to take longer to get here & I was running out, so I bit the bullet. But my kitchen is small & this thing is huge (and heavy)! So it’s living on top of the fridge for now and I’ll see where I am in a few months, I may transfer to multiple smaller containers just to be able to out them in the cabinets.All this to say, I love MSM as a supplement and I only buy Optimsm. Since it’s something I plan to always take I feel this was a good buy.

This has been an awesome find for me! I stumbled upon this after reading about DMSO. I ended up getting a book on MSM and ordering Kala Health's MSM at the same time. After 3 days I noticed I had less pain in my shoulder. I am recovering from a Ream and Run which is a partial shoulder replacement. As for my knee, there is nothing wrong with it medically but I have excruciating pain when squatting, decreased range of motion, less than 90 degrees and strong pain just standing, walking or sitting and it would swell up after any kind of deep bending in my attempts to rehab it. After 5 days of MSM 80% of the pain was gone.I have been taking it now for about a month in a half. I bought the 10 pound tub and I take it 2 to 3 times a day depending on my activity level. I now have no pain in my knee, I no longer take Advil or prescription anti-inflammatories. I can do full squats and walking around I feel like a well oiled machine. I actually have to correct my walking because I noticed that I developed an odd gait as a result of walking around in pain for so many years.My wife started using it and a slow to recover shoulder injury was 80% better in three days, she no longer has knee pains and she does not take Advil any longer where she used to take it every day. I have told about 8 to 10 people about it and at least 5 have ordered from Kala Health, I emphasize that they should buy their brand. Every one who has tried it has noticed something beneficial from it. I sent a 1 pound container to a friend across the country because I knew he could use it. In the book it says it works for about 70% of the people who try it. I am happy that I am in that group. i have tried all kinds of things for pain and inflammation as I do a lot of martial arts and teach and train with kettlebells and used to compete in kick-boxing. All of my injuries came from my competitive days, gym wars, kicking an elbow, tearing a rotator-cuff, arthritis at the site of most of these injuries and I have spent a lot of time rehabbing and focusing on correct movement programs. I have tried glucosomine, chondriton, Cumin, and a lot of supplements that were of the highest quality and received no benefit from them. This works for me!As for customer service, Kala Health is beyond reproach, I am a Prime member so it comes quickly and it works. So no worries. I do not know about any of their other products, but based on this one I would definitely order from them as the quality of the product is very important to me.

This isn’t my first time taking MSM, but it’s my first time trying MSM powdered crystals, and I can already tell it’s going to be MUCH more effective! The fine powder easily dissolves in water— it’s pretty bitter though, so I mix a Tbs of MSM in about 1/2 cup of water kefir soda, drink it like a shot, then drink a full glass of water kefir afterwards to wash it all down. It’s definitely not my favorite flavor in the world, but after feeling an energy boost during the past few days, I already know it’s worth it!I’ve taken 1000 mg MSM capsules or tablets nearly every day for 10+ years (primarily Solgar, Now or Solaray brands ), very recently upped my dose to 2000 mg, and never felt any energy boost from capsules or tablets before. I originally started taking MSM to alleviate the creaking and popping in my knees (which it helped for many years) and for my achy back, and after taking it for a while, I also noticed my asthma symptoms were reduced, so I definitely think it has an anti inflammatory effect for me. I also have far fewer grey hairs and better skin than most people my age (no wrinkles at all, and my skin is still very smooth and supple). I now have very severe arthritis and DDD, which we think must have started 20 years ago, and I decided to up my MSM intake since. I can’t tolerate the Rx anti inflammatory meds. I’m really glad I found this because after only a few days, my joints already feel a little more lubricated, and I get a nice non-jittery energy boost almost immediately after taking it. Typically, before starting with this powder, I could sleep nearly all day long because of my pain levels, but not any longer, so I know this is good stuff! No digestive side effects or other negative reactions— other than the bitter taste, it’s all good! I honestly don’t think it would’ve been possible for me to manage my arthritis and DDD for so long without any Rx meds or other interventions if I hadn’t found MSM so long ago. I just wish I’d found this brand and this formulation much earlier!For the last 18 months I’ve also been using Kaia Health MSM gel as a topical treatment on my face, and also mixed in with my body moisturizer, and occasionally on my swollen knees, and I’ve been very happy with the results. So when it was time to try a powdered form of MSM, I knew exactly which company to trust. By the way, I purchased this product myself and paid the full retail price from Amazon, and I’m not receiving any discount or other consideration for this review. I rely heavily on reviews when I make purchases online, so I hope this is helpful for you, too! I’ll update my review if anything changes, but so far, this has exceeded all my expectations!
