Silica Gel beats Biotin for Stronger Hair!


 

Studies prove 13% thicker hair after 6 months.

  • Original silicea Gel derived from quartz crystals (the purest form of silica) is a liquid "colloidal" preparation in which microscopic particles of silica are so finely dispersed in water that a gel is formed.And, since the human body is a colloidal system, Original silicea Gel is absorbed faster and more completely.
  • One of these natural talents is silica. This trace element is found in plants and animals wherever there is a need for elasticity, flexibility, and structural strength. This can also be beneficial to humans. As silicic acid and in microdispersed form it has a wide variety of capabilities that benefit the human body. This is the secret of the World of Silicea!
  • Original silicea Gel products are a dietary supplement designed to compensate a deficiency of a particular vital substance and thus to promote your health. As the silicic acid contained in Original Silicea Gel is already inherently present in the human body, there are no side effects, provided the recommended dosage and application instructions described on the package and the patient package insert of the Original Silicea Gel products are observed. Even children over four years of age, pregnant women, and nursing mothers can safely take the silicic acid gel. To ensure regular digestion, however, it is essential to drink sufficient amounts of fluids with the gel.

What is Biotin?

  • Biotin is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids. It plays a role in the citric acid cycle, which is the process by which biochemical energy is generated during aerobic respiration. Biotin not only assists in various metabolic reactions but also helps to transfer carbon dioxide. Biotin may also be helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. Biotin is often recommended for strengthening hair and nails. As a consequence, it is found in many cosmetics and health products for the hair and skin, though it cannot be absorbed through the hair or skin itself.
  • Biotin deficiency is rare because, in general, intestinal bacteria produce biotin in excess of the body's daily requirements. For that reason, statutory agencies in many countries, for example the USA[3] and Australia,[4] do not prescribe a recommended daily intake of biotin. However, a number of metabolic disorders in which an individual's metabolism of biotin is abnormal exist.

Biotin Uses:

  • Fragile fingernails - Between 5000mcg and 7500mcg of biotin per day will strengthen fingernails that break, chip, or flake easily. Effects will not be noticeable for several months, depending on rate of growth. Toenails will increase in strength too, and hair will be thicker and stronger.
  • Hair problems - The signs and symptoms of biotin deficiency include hair loss that progresses in severity to include loss of eyelashes and eyebrows in severely deficient subjects. Biotin supplements are available in every pharmacy; begin with 5000mcg per day, as with fingernails, and be prepared to wait several months to begin seeing results. (Some shampoos are available that contain biotin, but it is doubtful whether they would have any useful effect, as biotin is not absorbed well through the skin.)
  • Diabetes - Diabetics may also benefit from biotin supplementation. In both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetics, supplementation with biotin can improve blood sugar control and help lower fasting blood glucose levels, in some studies the reduction in fasting glucose exceeded 50 percent. Biotin can also play a role in preventing the neuropathy often associated with diabetes, reducing both the numbness and tingling associated with poor glucose control.
  • Cradle cap (seborrheic dermatitis) - Children with a rare inherited metabolic disorder called phenylketonuria (PKU; in which one is unable to break down the amino acid phenylalanine) often develop skin conditions such as eczema and seborrheic dermatitis in areas of the body other than the scalp. The scaly skin changes that occur in people with PKU may be related to poor ability to use biotin. Increasing dietary biotin has been known to improve seborrheic dermatitis in these cases.

Bottom Line: Biotin can strengthen fingernails, but its biggest impact may be in controlling diabetes.

A Silica Gel Testimonial from an Interested Party

Carlisle, our Business Manager, tried Hubner Original Silica Gel and here is the result.

HUBNER SILICA GEL

“As an employee with Our Favorite Health Products, I was curious if Hubner Original Silica Gel, which is one of our top sellers, was really as good as the claims surrounding it. I have always had fine/thin hair so I knew I would be a good test case for this product which is known for thickening and strengthening hair among other benefits. My sister, coincidentally, started using Silica Gel after loosing hair with her last pregnancy and when I saw her at the holidays, her hair was the thickest I’d ever seen it. Being skeptical by nature, I was all the more surprised when I actually did notice a difference in the thickness of my hair and already within the first three weeks of using the product. My hairdresser concurred. I even noticed that hair bands that I always wound around 3x only needed to be wound around 2x now! For me, that was proof that I couldn’t dispute.”

Who doesn’t want to have strong & healthy hair?


True beauty comes from within – Hair

The hair papillae are the center of hair growth. They are located on the boundary line - invisible to us - between the dermal and subcutaneous skin layers, both rich in connective tissue, on the inside of our scalp. This is where new hair cells are continually produced and pushed outward. A sufficient supply of silicic acid promotes these processes. A deficiency of silicic acid causes the hair to become brittle and dull. This pure mineral nutrient acts at the hair’s root.At the same time, the production of the keratin protein modules, which human hair consists of, is supported.

Hair Health Benefits
• Supports healthy, strong, shiny hair
• Proper supply of nutrients for the hair down to the roots
• Improves the stability, structure, and appearance of the hair









Tip: 6-month treatment for attractive hair
Drink one tablespoon (15 ml) of Original Silicea Balsam Gel diluted with water daily.
