MSM - Methylsulfonylmethane.
It's an organic sulfur compound. Right now it is sold in supplement and cream form to aid in joint health. It is an anti-inflammatory.
Anyway, on both MUA and the smartskincare board, I have found people attributing several benefits to this:
-lessening/eliminating pain in joints
-fast hair and nail growth
-better skin (b/c of the anti-inflammatory properties); esp. help with acne and rosacea
So someone on MUA did some research and is suggesting that in addition to taking it internally, it might be beneficial to apply it topically as well, especially combined with Silymarin (milk thistle).

So I found a simple MSM cream, and have ordered the Silymarin to mix in it. I'll keep you all updated on that.
But I'm also going to go get the supplement to take internally, and I will also post back and let you know how that is going.
I'll be your ginuea pig!!
