Super Silica Complex is a vegetarian complex of silica from Horsetail leaf extract, minerals and select nutrients that nutritionally supports healthy bones, hair & nails. Silica (silicon) is required for proper integrity of the skin, ligaments, tendons and bone.
The highest concentrations of silicon in the body are found in skin and hair. As we age, skin levels of silicon decline. Research has shown that supplemental silicon can help support beautiful skin and healthier hair. In addition research shows that silicon deficient diets lead to depressed collagen synthesis and abnormal ligament, tendon and bone integrity.
Specifically silicon is required by the enzyme, prolyhydroxylase which is involved in collagen synthesis in bone, cartilage and other connective tissues. Silicon is also believed to play a role in bone calcification as high concentrations of silicon have been found at the calcification sites of growing bones. Super Silica Complex provides 20 mg of natural silica from Horsetail leaf extract.
