Silica

What people take silica for

• Hair, skin & nails — silica's most popular use; it supports the body's own collagen production, which is part of skin, hair, and nail structure.
• Bone & connective tissue — silicon plays a role in bone and connective-tissue structure.
• Beauty-from-within routines — often combined with biotin or marine collagen for hair and skin.

Forms and what to look for

• Liquid silica — highly absorbable and popular for hair/skin/nails (e.g. CanPrev, Land Art, Orange Naturals).
• Bamboo silica — a concentrated plant source of silica (e.g. Enerex, Alora).
• Orthosilicic acid / MMST forms — among the most bioavailable; easy for the body to use (e.g. CanPrev's MMST, AOR).
• Capsules & tablets — convenient, consistent daily dosing.
• Combination formulas — paired with biotin or collagen for hair-and-skin support.

The collection also includes a few collagen-based haircare products (shampoos, conditioners, serums) for topical hair support.

A note on silica

Silica is generally well tolerated, with occasional mild digestive upset. As with any supplement, follow label directions, and if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a health condition, check with your healthcare provider first.
