Question:
Has anybody tried MSM for allergies? I have heard that MSM may help with allergies among other things. There are a few books on MSM but I have not read any although I plan to buy one. There is also a guy doing an MSM study at . A few articles on MSM at that site.

Answer:
Hey Guest, how are you doing?

If you need additional information or have questions concerning any products distributed through a website, you may reach FDA electronically (e-mail) at
Heller@CDER.FDA.GOV or you may respond in writing to Mr. Robert Heller, Compliance Officer, Food And Drug Administration, HFD-312, 7520 Standish Place, Rockville, MD 20855 or by telephone at (301) 594-1065. Many of these products may be legally marketed as dietary supplements or as cosmetics if certain claims are removed from the promotional materials and the products otherwise comply with all applicable provisions of the Act and FDA regulations.

FDA has no information that NWC MSM products including MSM CAPSULES, MSM LOTIONS, MSM POWDER, MSM SPRAYS and DROPS are generally reconized as safe and effective for the above referenced conditions and therefore, they may also be a new drug @ under section 201 (p) of the New drugs that may not be legally marketed in the U.S., without prior approval from FDA as described in section 505 (a) of the Act [21 usc 355(a)]. FDA approves drugs based on scientific data submitted by a drug sponsor to demonstrate that the drug is safe and effective.
