One Week Report: Garlic and MSM Supplement


 

Last week in one of my blog posts, I mentioned how I had noticed more shedding and breakage in my hair. After much research, I started to take at least a teaspoon of raw garlic to help reduce the shedding.

Garlic helps to regenerate cells and is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. It also contains sulfur and the allicin which helps in reducing shedding.

Now, why am I taking MSM Supplements? Well, two months ago, I attended a 2 hour Zumba Fitness class at my local gym. At the end of the class, I noticed I had some pain in the back of my left foot, it was Achilles Tendinitis. I underwent some treatment and it felt a little better, but then I started experiencing a bit of joint pains, I was informed to add MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) to my daily vitamin supplements. I have been taking them twice a day now and I must say, my joints feel a bit better.

After researching MSM, I found out that not only does it help in joint aches and pains,  it also increases hair growth potential by lengthening the growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair cycle. Although MSM, which is also a form of sulfur, can be found in food such as milk, onions, garlic and green vegetables, some of us need more direct way of getting the components that this supplement provides.

Any Changes In My Hair Since Using Garlic?

Since I was wearing a protective style for the past week, the only difference I noticed when I undid my cornrow/twists style was that there was less breakage. I still had some shedding since I actually had the style in for 2 weeks. I will keep on doing the daily garlic intake and report back in 2 more weeks to see if the amount of shedding decreased.

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

Should You Take Vitamin D if you do not have a deficiency? Taking vitamin D without a deficiency is generally unnecessary for most people, but it depends on your health, lifestyle, and location. Here’s a breakdown: When Supplementing Might Be Helpful 1. Limited Sun Exposure: If you live in areas with little sunlight (especially in winter) or spend most of your time indoors, you might not get enough vitamin D from sunlight, even if you’re not deficient. 2. Certain Health Conditions: People with osteoporosis, certain autoimmune conditions, or chronic illnesses may benefit from maintaining optimal (not just baseline) vitamin D levels. 3. Dietary Deficiency: If your diet lacks vitamin D-rich foods (e.g., fatty fish, fortified milk, or eggs), sup...
