Has anyone tried taking Silica to grow their hair? I am thinking of getting some and wanted to know what kind to get and where. Does it really work? Is it water-soluable? (in other words, can you overdose?) How much should you take for best and safe results? I have just read a lot on this board re: Silica and was curious about the specifics?Thanks, Jenn H.

I have been there done that with natural remedies for my hair. Silica and it does not do much but have a funky texture in your mouth. I believe that it just made it a little more stronger but I did not see any signifigant hair growth. There is a liquid formula that will take a chunk out of your pocket at the health food store, but I was not really impressed. I think that this is just another miracle remedy that is not really true. I heard that the GNC has a hair vitamen that is really good. I looked at the ingredients and they are all good for ya. Try to stay away from products that have a lot of vit.A as this can actually make your hair fall out. There is a product that is really expencive but great for growing hair. It is just a shampoo cond, treatment package it is called Nioxin, I have been using it for about a year and I have noticed a dramatic change in the thickness of my hair.

There is> a product that is really expencive but great for Christina, Thanks so much for warning me about Silica before I bought some. I'm starting to think that all these "Hair Vitamins" and remedies really don't work. I think we maybe just looking for answers and hoping they will. I've tried a lot of things as well and have really not found anything to work this far. I do think that some of these things may help your hair to grow stronger but not faster. However, there are a couple of other things I am going to try and then I'm just gonna let nature takes it course. I've been wondering about Nioxin. I have tried the Murad shampoo, conditioner,and hair treatment but didn't see a difference. It dried my hair out. I think the Murad maybe just for people who are losing thier hair. Is this the purpose in Nioxin too? I might try some soon. Where I shop, they have a huge display of it and I've always been curious. Is it expensive? Thanks again, Jenn H.> growing hair.

> I have heard that Nioxin has had mixed results. For the most part, I have never heard of any dramatic results for people with thin or thinning hair.
