Silicon is found in many unrefined grains and in some seafood sources, including mussels. Silicon intake has been positively associated with bone health.
What are the benefits of Silica?
Silica is a trace mineral. The functions of silica are understood to play a role in making and maintaining connective tissue. Silica is present in areas of bone that are undergoing mineralization, which indicates this mineral might be important for normal bone function - other uses being in utilising minerals into skin and hair.
Minerals are essential factors in human nutrition;
They are constituents of the bones, teeth, soft tissue, muscles, blood, and nerve cells. They act as catalysts for many biological reactions within the body, and are important in the production of hormones.

Excellent service from competitive pricing, clear ordering process, through to speedy delivery in the best, carefully packed parcel I have ever rece
I bought this Solgar Oceanic Silica to see if I saw an improvement in inflammation throughout my body. I was so happy that it works! I was taking a to
...tally different product for about 4 years. It never really helped so silica was recommended by one of my physician team members. I'm a believer! I have been taking the Solgar Oceanic Silica for 2 months and I can tell a marked improvement. This will be one item I'll be buying more.

I've been taking this regularly for several months now. Since using this, my baby hairs have grown long enough to shape my face, like bangs almos

This has really helped my nail growth. I've taken biotin and other silicas, keratin,bamboo extract; but no real improvement. This must be more ab
...sorbable, because my nails remind me of my youth. Much stronger. I take only one per day. I will definitely reorder. It's so nice to have prettier nails without resorting to artificials.

I got this mainly for hair loss. I had tried saw palmetto and black currant oil, but my hair just kept falling out. I read about silica and decided to
... try it. I chose this brand due to the positive reviews. After three weeks, I noticed so much less shedding. I took it daily for another three weeks, and switched my dosage to only three times a week after that. It still works. I need to make it clear that this did not thicken my hair, but since it stopped the crazy shedding, it allowed the sparse parts of my head to recover.

Wow, this stuff works like nothing else. I try really hard to get all my vitamins from whole foods and on top of that, supplement with stuff for an ad
...ditional hair/skin/nail boost like biotin, collagen, hyaluronic acid, etc. This Solgar oceanic silica is the only thing that has made a significant difference for me (supplement-wise). My nails grow really fast and strong after taking 2 capsules, 2x daily with meals for what seems like only a week, and somehow my nail beds look healthier too. I stopped for a while when I ran out to see how another hair/skin/nails supplement fared for me, and after coming back to this, have realized how effective/awesome it is. Highly recommend!
