Silica may strengthen hair and nails by supporting keratin production, leading to thicker hair and stronger nails. It potentially reduces brittleness by improving the structural integrity of these tissues.
Silica is believed to contribute to hair and nail health by supporting keratin production, a key structural protein for these tissues. Enhanced keratin production can lead to increased hair thickness, strength, and reduced brittleness in both hair and nails. While the exact mechanism is still being researched, silica's role in collagen synthesis may indirectly support keratin formation.
