Silica is necessary for the re-building of all connective tissue, including hair, skin and nails. Silica is silicon in the form of Silicon dioxide, or SiO2. Appearing naturally as quartz, it is also the principal component of glass and sand. Silica is also a very common component of our bodies and is contained in all of our connective tissues such as cartilage and tendons, nails, hair, muscle tissue and bone. Complexion and shiny hair depend upon silica which, apart from its other properties, helps our skin and hair to retain moisture and keep looking young. A study carried out by the Clinical Centre in Karlsruhe/Germany has revealed the following result: Participants who had brittle and thin hair were given one capsule containing 340mg silica daily. After six months, the condition of their hair had improved considerably. This was proven by measuring the swelling behaviour and the thickness of the hair, both of which had improved. Also, the participants found that their hair looked more beautiful.
Dermatologists assume that silica increases the contents of a certain amino acid in the scalp, which raises the collagen level in the hairs.
