Silica is crucial for healthy bones, thick lustrous hair, and strong, flexible joints. But when it comes to supplemental silica, the form you take makes all the difference. Silica-20 provides 20 mg of silica (per serving) gently extracted from horsetail plant (Equisetum arvense) that is harvested at exactly the right time for optimum silica content. This source is one that your body easily and readily utilizes for noticeable benefits.*
The Silica-20 difference:
- Silica is a must for healthy bone density—and much more
- Boosts bone absorption of calcium up to 50%†
- Helps optimize collagen—a critical factor for healthy skin, hair, and joints
- Easily utilized, plant-based silica combined with vitamin D3 for even greater benefits*

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t I get silica from food?
There are food sources of silica, but very little of it is absorbed during digestion. In fact, you’d probably have to eat 50 bananas just to get about 8 mg of absorbed silica. So a supplemental source is a must. In fact, in Europe, silica is more popular than calcium for bone support. Considering that silica does even more than support bone density and strength, it is a sensible supplemental choice for joints, hair, skin, and nails, too.*
Is the use of Silica-20 supported by research?
Yes. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 65 women over 12 months revealed that Silica-20 supported bone health and strength, and that Silica-20 supported a healthy balance of minerals in bone. Another Silica-20 study with 150 individuals showed support for healthy bone-building activity. Doctors reported that in 80 percent of participants, significant indicators of bone health support were evident after 15 days of use, and further gains were measurable after 6 weeks of use.*
