@MsCatLuver

I was going to mention that if you prefer to take the bamboo silica supplement in a capsule form rather than the lose powder, then I would recommend the pipingrock brand, item number 10140 . Their's is pure and the price is reasonable. That's the product I started with until I switched to the lose powder which I find more economical.

I take it for my hair, skin and bone health. @barefootwillow

Bamboo silica extract, aka silicon...interesting scientific and somewhat technical dot gov publications here:

Cut to the chase and just scroll down to "Conclusion" in each of these pubs. That will give you shorter explanations.

@SilleeMee- in the capsule form (300 mg ea) how many would you take a day. I think the bottle said 1 a day.

I take 600mg of the loose powder daily (dose recommended on the bag of loose powder). So that would equate to two 300mg caps. I know the bottle says to take one daily. There really isn't an established standard dose for this so the doses can vary from one brand to another. I've seen brands fall between 250mg to 800mg for daily dosages. @2penny

eta - The amount is not real critical. Your body only uses what it needs then the excess goes in the toilet.

Thanks @SilleeMee, I'm going to try it. I've had a tiny vertical split at the end of my thumbnail for a few years now. Tried biotin & gelatin with no change.

You're welcome @2penny. I have a question...that split in your thumbnail, did you, in the past, smash your thumb really bad? I also have a split thumbnail that started after I smashed my thumb in a car door. It turned black and I lost the nail. But when it grew back it was split and never was normal again.

I've heard that smashing a nail could cause it to split but I didn't have that happen, at least it wasn't bad enough to lose the nail. So I guess that bamboo silica is not a fix for that? I had high hopes. There was a time shortly after I got the split that it grew out normal but I hit the nail on something & it split again never to be the same again. I just have to keep it short now, well moisturized & can't use nail polish because it is so drying.
