There is this other question: Is sulfur a "miracle cure"? But it received zero answers at the time of this posting, so it is not a valid duplicate target. The claim therein also is too broad.

There are several sources that state Methylsulfonylmethane can make hair grow faster.

There is a study published on Biomolecules & Therapeutics' july 2009 issue: The Effect of Methylsulfonylmethane on Hair Growth Promotion of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate for the Treatment of Alopecia widely linked by those sources, but from the title alone it is about the treatment of one medical condition that causes hair loss, not faster hair growth.

There are also other sites that debunk said claim. (sharecare.com)

The claim seems like a smell, but it is widely believed.

I am interested in the claim as stated by human hair enthusiastic sites: That MSM can make human hair grow faster.

  • A lack of the **answer** elsewhere doesn't stop it being a duplicate of the **question**. I'm not saying it is or is not, but that reasoning isn't, well, reasonable. – Nij Sep 23 '16 at 03:54
  • @Nij **a question without answers** is not even a valid duplicate target for the stack system. The scope is radically different also.

  • @Nij Only if and when that question gets an answer that also solves this claim, then we can close this one as a dupe. I'll do it myself. – Mindwin Remember Monica Sep 23 '16 at 12:36

    Please add a bounty to the other question or collaborate to reduce its scope, do not open another question. – Sklivvz Sep 25 '16 at 07:49
