Bamboo silica (silicon)
Silicon participates in collagen synthesis and glycosaminoglycan cross-linking, the structural bonds that determine fascia and cartilage tensile strength. Human trials show hair and skin improvements with bioavailable OSA forms.
Targeted structural layer for extracellular matrix support. Slow-acting, assess over weeks to months.
- Silicon in collagen synthesis and GAG biology
- Human evidence strongest for bioavailable OSA forms
- Take with food; evaluate over weeks; caution with kidney disease
