I'm sure this was just an accident crediting me for this, but for the record I don't take MSM - it's Keylani that brought it up. I did mention saggy skin once to a counselor and she tried to sell me on MSM but my research didn't show anybody taking it for that - mostly for joint pain/allergies. And only one study ever done on it that I can find. The center does say all the fish oil that's required is to help with elasticity too.
I'm sure everyone is aware but your age has a huge affect on the elasticity of your skin. The younger you are, the more likely your skin will tighten up as you lose. Those of you who have reached menopause are going to have far less elasticity and your skin can become saggy even without weight loss. It just is what it is.
