Silicon is important for the health of skin, hair, and nails. MEDICOM offers high-quality silicon products to support your beauty and health.
Silicon is an ultra-trace element that plays a major role in many essential processes in the human organism. For example, silicon mobilizes cell metabolism and is considered an important building block for hair, nails, and connective tissue.A particularly rich and high-quality source of silicon is bamboo, or more precisely, bamboo shoots.
The plant-based silicon from bamboo shoots is particularly well absorbed by the body and supports the natural structure of skin, hair, and nails from within. In the body, silicon is mainly found in the connective tissue, in the skinandin the bones and is involved in the formation of cartilage and bone. The trace element provides both firmness and flexibility, as it stimulates the formation of the connective tissue fiberscollagen and elastin. If there is a deficiency of silicon, the elasticity and tensionof the connective tissue decrease. The consequences can be brittle nails, skin irritation, dry hair, or hair loss.
Silicon is primarily found in plant-based foods such as oats, barley, millet, spinach, dates, bananas, and beans. Silicon is found in a particularly concentrated form in bamboo shoots– one of the richest natural sources of silicon worldwide.
The human organism cannot produce silicon itself. For this reason, the trace elementmust be consumedthrough food. If you want to actively do something for your beauty and vital, natural appearance, you should use special
