    Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, Silica Complex with Horsetail Extract

    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question

    • What are the benefits of NOW Foods Silica Complex with Horsetail Extract?

      NOW Foods Silica Complex with Horsetail Extract may support the health of hair, skin, nails, and connective tissues. Silica is believed to play a role in collagen synthesis, potentially contributing to improved skin elasticity and stronger hair and nails.

    • Is it safe to take NOW Foods Silica Complex with Horsetail Extract every day?

      Daily use of NOW Foods Silica Complex with Horsetail Extract is generally considered safe when taken as directed. However, it's important to be aware of potential interactions with medications and to monitor for any adverse reactions, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions.

    • What is the best source of silica for hair growth?

      While horsetail extract is a popular natural source of silica, other good sources include bamboo extract, nettle, and certain whole grains. The effectiveness of silica for hair growth can vary among individuals, and a balanced diet rich in various nutrients is typically most beneficial for overall hair health.

    • What does silica remove from the body?

      Silica doesn't typically remove substances from the body in the way that some detoxifying agents might. Instead, it plays a role in various bodily functions, including the formation of collagen and the maintenance of connective tissues. It may also support the body's natural detoxification processes by promoting healthy skin and hair.

    • What organ does silica harm?

      Silica, when used as a dietary supplement in appropriate amounts, is not known to harm specific organs. However, inhalation of crystalline silica dust over long periods, typically in industrial settings, can potentially harm the lungs. This is different from the dietary silica found in supplements like NOW Foods Silica Complex.

    • What are the side effects of NOW Foods Silica Complex with Horsetail Extract?

      Common side effects of silica supplements may include digestive discomfort or mild headaches in some individuals. In rare cases, horsetail extract may cause low potassium levels or interact with certain medications. It's important to use the product as directed and be aware of any changes in your health while taking it.
