What is MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)?
MSM is a sulfur-containing compound believed to support keratin production and reduce inflammation, which may benefit hair growth and scalp health.
It’s often found in dietary supplements aimed at strengthening hair, skin, and nails through improved nutrient delivery and collagen support.
Combined with red light therapy, MSM may improve hair health by supporting structural protein development and reducing oxidative stress in the scalp.
