Why Silica?
Although Silica is popular in face creams and serums, Silica is not often talked about as a nutrient in food, but here at Wassen we want to put that right. Silica (not to be confused with Silicon!) is found in high quantities in our skin, hair and nails when we are young and many think this is one of the reasons why babies and young children's skin is so smooth. As we age our ability to absorb this mineral is reduced.
Bamboo contains 70% naturally occurring silica, the building block of collagen.
Description

Why?
Wassen, the mineral experts, selects only the highest quality nutrients. Silica OK was developed over 15 years ago and has been popular ever since.

Care should be taken when combining a range of products into a supplement programme to unsure that the upper safety limits of nutrients are not exceeded.
I am taking a number of your products, am I in danger of taking too much of any vitamin or mineral?
It is important to check that you are not taking too much of any one vitamin or mineral if you combine a number of different supplements. Many of the Wassen and Efamol products can be safely combined, however please call our nutrition helpline 0800 0291978 for advice on particular combinations.

It has come to my attention that as the result of taking a combination of different products of yours I am exceeding the NRV ‘Nutrient Reference Value’ (formerly Recommended Daily Allowance) for some vitamins and minerals, am I likely to overdose on any of them as a result?
It is important to note that the NRV for essential nutrients has been established by calculating the daily requirement of large population groups for a particular nutrient in order to avoid deficiency. The NRV represents the minimum intake required with a calculated safety margin. The 'maximum safety level' for certain vitamins and minerals is much higher in some instances. Certain oil soluble vitamins such as vitamin A and D can be stored by the liver and should not be taken in excessive quantities. Likewise the mineral zinc and iron should not be taken in very high doses, without professional supervision. Please call our nutrition helpline on 0800 0291978 if you have any questions.

Silica OK
I have been taking the tablets for years. Amazing for my nails. It has stopped them splitting and flaking. Difficult to tell whether skin has improved and I still would like a better boost for my hair. However I will continue to use this product
