OK supplement, but didn't worked that well for me
4 Stars
OK supplement, but didn't worked that well for me
While I do think the Now Foods Silica Complex is a good quality supplement, for me silica doesn't offer the same beneficial effects Biotin and Astaxanthin offer to my hair, skin and nails. Usually when I take hair and nail supplements, I notice at least in nails growth and skin moisture. While taking this silica supplement I noticed that my nails weren't as brittle and grew faster, but my skin was as dry as usual; my hair fall at the same rate as usual and I didn't noticed more new hair growing. I felt silica somewhat helped me with my joints, but a joint special supplement (like MSM) works better for me.I didn't care about the extra Calcium (very low dosage), Zinc and Manganese; if you take a multi vitamin supplements, you might end of overdosing on Zinc and Manganese.In the end the effectiveness of silica depends on the cause of your hair loss or nail issue. I don't regret trying Silica, but most probably I won't buy Silica supplements again and focus on others I have seen better results with.I tried experimenting with dosage, starting with 1 pill and increasing to 3 pills, as I didn't noticed any improvements in nail strengthThe pills are on the medium to large size, but I find them easy to take. I didn't noticed any scent, nor the pills caused me any stomach issues, bad breath or reflux.
