Hi,

 

Might sounds stupid but I hear everyone suggesting MSM and when googled it looks like the tablets are hair skin and nails tablet is this all they are?

 

Also I've read you shouldn't take vitamin tablets before your hair transplant as it can cause bleeding is this true? And if so does that mean I should stop taking hair skin and nails tablets now as I have a hair transplant for the back end of October

 

Thanks for any help

Yes, that is all MSM is. It does nothing to slow the progression of hair loss or regrow hair. However, it may improve the overall quality and appearance of the hair.

Very helpful info David thank you,

 

A few questions on the link you sent, his first line starts with theres a study which shows MSM is safe for upto 12 weeks, so it's possible long term use of the tablet could be unsafe?

 

I'll check when I'm home but I think my MSM tablets contain vitamin E so if this is the case I'll discontinue use until after my transplant

 

Cheers
