Bio-active SiliconVitaminstore

The Bio-active Silicon is intended for adults and not typically suitable for children aged 10. For thin or brittle hair at a young age, it's better to first consider diet and possibly a children's multivitamin with biotin and zinc.

If you are accustomed to drinking 1 or 2 glasses of warm water upon waking, it's best to do this first, and then take the silicon supplement. You should then wait approximately 15–30 minutes before eating or drinking anything else. So, there is no need to wait 15-30 minutes between the intake of water and silicon.

Yes, you can safely continue with Bio-active Silicon after the first 3 months. For maintenance, you halve the daily dosage after the initial 3 months. You might also choose to take a break after 3 months. Both options are fine; it depends on your needs and symptoms.

Once opened, it is best to store the product in a cool, dry place, preferably in the refrigerator. The shelf life after opening is approximately 2 months, provided it is well-sealed and kept refrigerated.

Good question — and it’s great that you’re checking this first!

For yourself

Unfortunately, due to claims regulations, we’re limited in what we can say about the effects of Bio-active silicon. However, in principle you can safely try this if you’re healthy.

For your sister (diabetes)

In general, silicon can be used with diabetes. It has no direct effect on blood sugar levels and there are no known negative interactions with diabetes medication. That said, if someone is taking medication, it’s always sensible to check with a doctor or pharmacist to be on the safe side.

For your mother (Waldenström’s disease)

Extra caution is needed here. Waldenström’s disease is a serious condition affecting the immune system/blood. In this situation, there is insufficient research into the use of silicon for this disease, so we can’t say with certainty that it’s safe in her case. Advice: your mother should only use this in consultation with her treating doctor or specialist.
