Our Complete Silicon formula is a special combination of the nutrients zinc, biotin, MSM, organic silicon and vitamin C and has been specifically formulated for the good condition of the skin, hair and nails. This formula provides in each tablet:- Zinc, which contributes to the normal maintenance of hair and nails.- Biotin, for the normal well-being of the skin.- Vitamin C, as it helps the normal formation of collagen.- MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) , a natural component of sulfur, and an essential nutrient required for the production of proteins found in connective tissue.- Silicon, which contributes to the structure and elasticity of connective tissue and plays an important role in bone synthesis and in collagen from cartilage. Skin is predominantly made up of collagen, which is the most abundant protein in the body. This protein forms the connective tissue fibers of the skin, hair, nails, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, and capillaries. Each hair follicle, on the scalp, is surrounded by a sheath of collagen and is found where blood vessels provide nutrients necessary for normal hair growth. We use natural silicon from bamboo gum, which provides 75% organic silicon, which is the most bioavailable form. Although there is no recommended daily intake of silicon, most nutritionists agree that a daily intake in our diet is important. Good dietary sources of silicon are grains such as oats, barley, and rice, but refining processes can remove much of this mineral.
