Regular Member notsohairy Posted August 3, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted August 3, 2004 I had been buying my MSM at GNC at about $17 for 300 1000mg caps. There is a web site called iherb that has them for around $8 for the same amount. Just a tip to pass along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairworthy Posted August 3, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2004 Good website, but: 1. I could not find that deal you mention: best I saw was 180 (not 300) 1g capsules for $9 2. They don't sell MSM crystals, which are more effective & easy to mix with a fruit juice for example They ship to Europe as well though (for a $20 fee), which is good news for us on this side of the Atlantic. 3045 FUs with Dr Victor Hasson on 8 June 2004 1836 FUs with Dr Jeffrey Epstein on 2 March 2006 Regimen: 1.25mg Proscar every other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member notsohairy Posted August 4, 2004 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 4, 2004 My error in listing the price. It did seem like a good price though. My read of the product is that it is MSM crystals in a capsule. Why is that less effective than MSM crystals out of the capsule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Robert_ Posted August 5, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted August 5, 2004 Notsohairy, I imagine that just like sports nutrition powders (creatine, protein, etc.) and headache powders (Goody's, BC's), the solubility of a crystal form enables the body to process it faster. As far as effectiveness, I cannot say. I do know that sometimes vitamins in tablet form are sometimes expelled before they can fully dissolve and thus, are essentially wasted. -Robert As forum moderator and a Patient Advocate for the Coalition I'm available to answer any questions.
