Hey all,

I hope you're all doing well. I've come across some stuff on the internet recommending MSM to help tighten skin while losing or after weight loss. Has anyone tried it? If so what are your thoughts? Did it help?

MSM is a natural sulfur and is found in our bodies. Apparently, from what I've read, because of our modern diets a lot of the natural sulfur that's supposed to be in our foods gets processed out of it. MSM is a supplement for joint health and some other things, but have also read some success stories of people who have tried it to tighten loose skin.

Anyone tried this supplement?

    No sorry, but it sounds interesting.

    Skin will tighten on its own. If you are so unlucky (as I am) to be riddled with stretch marks, then nothing is going to magically make stretched out skin all better. Save for surgery, obviously.

    Never heard of it for that purpose, but I took it years ago for hair growth(along with biotin)....it made my skin break out terribly, but two weeks later my skin looked amazing!!!! It worked for my hair..it was more shiny and seemed stronger so it did not break off and I got the length that I wanted.

    Thanks rainbowblu, I've read it also had those effects!

    Collagen is skin elasticity. Please google up how and why skin keeps looking youthful (a bit of underskin fat) and elastic. Eat balanced is best.
