Hello, Dr. Pickart says that 1,000 mg of MSM a day is good for you. Does he suggest that taking more than that a day is good and if so how much more is o.k? I take vitamin C with the MSM as suggested.
Thanks,
Moncherie

Dear Moncherie:

We have clients that take 2-4 grams daily (some take more).

Here are some statements on taking more MSM:

"MSM is considered very safe. Toxicity is extremely rare. No toxic effects were shown in humans given up to one gram per kilogram of body weight (70 grams or more) per day for 30 days. MSM is generally non-allergenic."

"MSM is considered to be one of the safest substances in biology, similar in toxicity to water...The sulfonyl in MSM is nutritional, and it is extremely rare that humans are ever allergic to it. Remember, all human bodies require MSM....No Overdose with MSM. The body will use what it needs, and after twelve hours, will flush any excess amounts out of the body...Toxicity studies completed on MSM demonstrated that the compound is remarkably non-toxic. Extremely high dosages, up to 2,000 mg/kg were utilized for measurement purposes in the toxicity research with no adverse reaction measured."
