The Studies

Studies show that the particular form of silicon found in this supplement increases levels of hydroxyproline, which is a key amino acid required for the production of collagen and elastin.

This is the stuff that makes the dermis smooth, firm and elastic. This mineral is also important for normal healthy collagen formation. (Studies - Silica. 95 Dec; 57(12):30-1Arch Dermatol Res. 2007 Dec;299(10):499-505.)

A study conducted at the University of Brussels showed that women taking only 10 mg a day of Choline-Stabilized Orthosilicic Acid (the biologically available form only found in Natrol's BioSil™) had an impressive 55% improvement in the elasticity of the dermis.

They also saw an improvement in their hair and nails. Almost half of the test subject also saw a great improvement in depth and size of facial wrinkles.

The Benefits Go Beyond a Great Complexion

Although people think of this as a vitamin, it does so much more....such supporting healthy joints, connective tissues, arteries and cartilage. Basically, it's important for the whole body from head to toe.

Which Brand Is Best?

Don't confuse Biosil with horsetail and/or colloidal gel supplements found in many health food stores....This is not the same!

According to some research - these ingredients are poorly absorbed. In order to have proper absorption and receive optimum benefits from they must first be converted to orthosilic acid – which is the biologically active form found in this vitamin. Click here to read more or to view the studies.

In 2007, the University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy presented the findings of a clinical trial investigating the effects of the exact supplement original developed by Jarrow Formulas and is now sold by Natrol.

Their 9 month randomized, double-blind study on women with fine hair found that the group using the Jarrow Formulas original product experienced a significant improvement in increased diameter of the fibers (making it thicker).

But the group receiving the placebo actually saw a REDUCTION in strength and elasticity. According to Andy Wickett, Ph.D, Professor and Director of the Cosmetic Science Program at the University of Cincinnati. These studies proved that oral intake of this dietary supplement improve hair quality......such as tensile strength and elasticity....

Other studies also showed that this form of choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid increased hair diameter, elasticity and tensile strength.

BioSil is one of the few product with scientific proof of absorbability and effectiveness. Several animal studies suggested an increase in collagen levels in the group fed the Biosil supplement when compared to a placebo.

Another study indicated the importance of taking this biologically active mineral for helping with bone mineralization and that it supports healthy bone, connective tissue, and cartilage.
