Product of the Month: BioSil
When people talk about youthful healthy supple skin, the buzzword often heard is collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is often called the “glue” that holds the body together.
Don’t stop there! Collagen fibers are major building materials in many more body parts from bone to blood vessels.
Check this out and consider these percentages:
- Skin – 75% collagen
- Ligaments – up to 90% collagen
- Cartilage – 70% collagen
- Bone – 30% collagen
- Tendons – 80% collagen
- Blood vessels – 40% collagen
Fibroblasts are the cells in our bodies that are responsible for producing collagen, but when you ingest collagen, the body breaks it down and uses it as food. BioSil’s patented ch-OSA complex formula helps your body “turn on” its own ability to produce collagen. This creation of collagen starts by linking together amino acids in a specific sequence, and our DNA has that job. One of the first stages is called hydroxylation. BioSil works by activating enzymes forming this hydroxylation process. Vitamin C is also very important in this process, and a C-deficiency will keep this reaction from happening.
The ch-OSA (choline-stabilized OrthoSilicic acid) in the BioSil formula is a highly bioavailable nutrient complex clinically proven to activalte the production of collagen.
BioSil does exactly what the label says it does. I’ve used it for about three years and it only took a few weeks to see new hair growth, improved condition and shine. My skin has better texture and elasticity. BioSil is the supplement I make sure I always take.
