★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
Biosilica Capsules give you silicon in the form your body can absorb, for your hair, skin, nails and bones. You take one capsule a day, so each pot of 90 capsules is a 90 day supply.
Benefits of taking silica
Silica is the name most supplements use for silicon, a trace element found in your hair, skin, nails and bones. Most silica in food and supplements passes through unused, so the form you take matters.
- Hair gets the silicon it needs to grow strong.
- Skin stays healthy from the inside.
- Nails stay in good condition.
- Bones get a daily top up of a mineral they contain.
Who benefits
Biosilica Capsules are most useful for:
- People who want to look after their hair, skin and nails.
- Anyone looking after their bones as they get older.
- Those already taking collagen, biotin or zinc for their hair, skin and nails.
- Buyers who found horsetail or silica gel did little for them.
What is in it
Each capsule provides 25mg of silicon as choline stabilised orthosilicic acid. The other ingredients are cellulose, choline and the vegetable capsule shell. Ch-OSA and silicic acid are other names for this form of silicon.
How to take it
Take one capsule a day with food.
Diet and allergens
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
Quality
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Common questions
What form of silica is this?
It is choline stabilised orthosilicic acid, a form of silicon your body can absorb. Standard silica supplements use silicon dioxide, which is largely insoluble.
How much silica should I take a day?
Take one capsule a day, which gives you 25mg of silicon. A pot of 90 capsules lasts three months.
When is the best time to take Biosilica?
You can take it at any time of day, as long as you have it with food.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. Many people take it with biotin and zinc for their hair, skin and nails, or with collagen and vitamin C.
Is it safe to take silica every day?
One capsule gives you 25mg of silicon, which is far below the upper level of 700mg a day set in UK safety guidance.
How long does Biosilica take to work?
Give it 12 weeks of daily use before you judge the results, because hair, skin and nails renew slowly.

Frequently asked questions
What is Biosilica good for?
Biosilica provides nutrients that support hair, skin, and nail health.
How long until I see results?
Nails (4-6 weeks), skin (6-8 weeks), hair (3-6 months).
Why support beauty from within?
Internal nutrients support production of new, healthier cells.
What form of silicon is it, and how much is in each capsule?
Each capsule provides 25mg of silicon as choline stabilised orthosilicic acid, the form the body absorbs from food and water. Standard silica supplements use silicon dioxide, which is largely insoluble. One capsule a day, so a pot of 90 lasts three months.
Can I take this alongside skincare products?
Yes. Taking a supplement does not change how you use products on the skin.
Is this vegan, and is it free from gluten, dairy and nuts?
Yes, it is vegan. It is free from gluten, dairy and nuts. The full ingredient list and allergen information are on the label image and in the Information and Allergens tab above.
Why capsules rather than tablets?
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
