Silica is an important component of collagen and elastin, two proteins in the body. Collagen holds together the tissues of the body and elastin contributes to a more firm skin!

Silica is also found in the protein keratin, which is the protein that is the main building block of the hair. Silica is transported through the blood to the hair follicles where the hair is formed, increasing the nutrient supply and contributing to a hair that is more shiny and with more volume.

Silica balances the sex hormones. Men and women have both testosterone and estrogen in their bodies, but in varying proportions. When the balance of these hormones does not work and a person has too much of one of the hormones or too little of the other, then hair is one of the things that is affected first, which can lead to hair loss.

Silica is also important for the transport of nutrients to the hair follicles. The mineral has a unique ability to bind with many other nutrients in the body and transport the substances in the bloodstream, and further to the scalp, but also to other parts of the body.

Silica the THE MINERAL OF BEAUTY - (silicon dioxide) - is a common ingredient in beauty products and dietary supplements for skin, hair and nails. The mineral contributes to:
