Maybe you should powder it so that it is a finer consistency before adding to your base... what are you using as the base? mjh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 You can dissolve the msm in boiling water and then mix in a cream. there are a lot of free recipes on how to do that on the internet. You just use a tiny bit of water though, like a teaspoon or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 Evening Cheryl, >> When I do this the cream is very 'grainy' and I've been wondering if it will be absorbed by the skin because of the coarseness. Your help would be appreciated. How much are you taking internally per day? You may need to make a finer powder of the material.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 Hi Wayne, Yes, guess that is what I'll do .....make a finer powder. My dad takes 1/2 tsp of the powder MSM per day. Thanks Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
