@claros wrote:SilleeMee, how long did you take the silica before you saw a difference in bone density? I've been taking it about a year now and will be doing a scan soon. I'm hoping for an improvement in my #s.
It was at least a year between my scans so I can safely say at least a year. I hope the silica will prove to be beneficial for you and that your BD scan comes back good.

@SilleeMee I take the silica daily as well, I just add it to my coffee in the morning.

I took the silica for about 9 months I think before my scan. I previously had been told I was osteopenia. Dr. wanted me to get that expensive shot, but insurance won't cover it. I did take calcium citrate powder mixed with Magnesium glycinate that I mixed in with my yogurt. I just can't take the calcium pills and the chewable types are the wrong type of calcium. I stopped the calcium/Magnesium when I started with the silica. My scan came back good with no osteopenia. I did stop taking it after my scan. There's a warning that maybe you shouldn't take it if you have thyroid disease, which I do; but, I could find absolutely nothing about that except a study using mice.

Silica is an ingredient in a couple of my supplements. 👍

Really? I have Hashimoto's and never heard that. I have been taking the silica from either NOW brand or Solaray for 6 months or more now and love it. I notice my nails are better also. Along with the collagen I supplement and cal/mag I am hoping my osteopenia either gets better or I simply hold here forever LOL! That is encouraging that your scan improved to the normal range with only 9 months of use...amazing.
