BioSil Capsules Silicon as Stabilized Orthosilicic Acid Beautifies Hair; Skin & Nails; Essential for Collagen; Bones & Joints BioSil's active silicon is an essential partner of calcium for bones; glucosamine for joints; and antioxidants for healthier arteries and cardiovascular function.

The Importance of Silicon - Silicon is a trace mineral required for the formation of healthy connective tissue; bone; skin; hair and nails. Silicon is essential for collagen formation; healthy arteries and regulates calcium deposition in bones. Absorption is Key - Dietary sources of silicon such as those found in food; horsetail and colloidal gel (silica) products are very poorly absorbed because of their insoluble; polymerized forms.

For absorption to occur; dietary silicon must be first converted to Orthosilicic Acid (monomeric silicic acid); the bioavailable form found in BioSil. Why is BioSil Different? BioSil (Si[OH]4) is 20;000 times more soluble than silica (SiO2 - found in horsetail and colloidal gels) and 2.5 times more bioavailable than other forms of silicon!

The superiority of silicon from BioSil has been proven in a peer reviewed scientific study comparing three different forms of silicon. The results of the comparative; cross-over; double-blind clinical trial demonstrated that the stabilized monomeric form of silicon (stabilized orthosilicic acid - as found in BioSil) is far superior to colloidal silica and horsetail extract. In fact; of the three experimental groups; only BioSil offered a bioavailable source of silicon; the other forms of silicon (horsetail and colloidal gel) were no better than placebo.
