intolerance or allergic reaction. Acute,
intermediate, and long-term studies indicate that
MSM exhibits very low toxicity no matter how it is
administered. How low? its profile is similar to
that of water! Within limits, you cannot overdose
with MSM because the body will take and use
whatever it needs, and after a 12hour period, will
flush any excess amounts from the body.
