Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Selenium and Zinc may assist in protecting the body against free radical damage.

Biotin may help strengthen nails that are brittle and prone to splitting or breaking.

The Qsilica range is recommended by Janey Lee Grace; natural, eco and organic products guru "A friend of mine has been taking the Qsilica Colloidal Silica Gel and Capsules and she is so thrilled that her eyebrows have grown and people keep commenting that she must be wearing false eyelashes! It's all down to this amazing range - Qsilica."

Philip Weeks, an expert on natural medicine and author of 'Make Yourself Better' states "Qsilica is a unique product, offering silica in a highly bio-available and absorbable form. I can usually detect whether women have enough silica in their body as they will have thick, healthy and shiny hair."
