Silicon 78
This product stands out in the silicon collection due to its emphasis on a proprietary, highly bioavailable 'Living Silica' form, which is intended to maximize the benefits of silicon absorption over generic forms.
Goals
With a focus on absorbability, this product is well-positioned to support strong, healthy hair by providing the necessary building blocks for keratin and collagen more efficiently.
The advanced silica form promotes stronger, less brittle nails by aiding in the structural integrity and growth of nail cells more effectively, leading to improved appearance.
Superior silica bioavailability directly translates to improved collagen and elastin synthesis, contributing to firmer, more youthful, and hydrated skin with potentially visible benefits.
