NaturopathyThis section has been translated automatically.
Silica is traditionally used to improve "skin, nails and hair". Furthermore, a long-term cosmetic effect is postulated. There are several studies available on the effect of silica, including a randomized double-blind study and a monocentric open clinical study (3 times/day 350 mg silica p.o. for 6 months) in which the hair quality such as hair strength and hair structure were improved under study conditions.
