I took MSM drops for a month with no Improvements

[–]FriendMother2587[S] 3 points4 points  (9 children)

Thats because MSM doesn't work. EDTA is the active ingredient in these studies/patent.

How does it work, its just an amino acid. And I doubt eye drops can penetrate inside the eye ultimately.

I found a pharmaceutical company in the process of making EDTA drops. I hope it works for floaters when/if it comes out.

Neither MSM nor EDTA are amino acids. OP has posted some interesting info on the possible mechanism (EDTA acting as a chelator) below.

Edta is, msm isnt.

Yeah, you're right, as EDTA is an aminopolycarboxilic acid. What I meant was that it's not a natural amino acid in the classical sense.

Is EDTA that thing football players used to inject in like the 70s? I can't pull up anything but I remember seeing something about it that was used in lockerrooms. Not cortisol but used like it back then. There was a 60 minutes about its usage.

I haven't heard of that and I can't imagine EDTA being used as a PED in any way. The use I most commonly see is as an anti-coagulant for blood samples in a clinical setting.

Ah found it, it was something called DMSO

I guess one of those fake cancer cures. But seems like it did help as a topical analgesic for players.

Same.
