Essential for Bone, Joints & Collagen. Strengthens & Beautifies Hair, Skin & Nails. JarroSil is a patent pending Activated Silicon formula, containing stabilized molecular clusters of silicic acid, which provides a biologically active form of silicon upon dissolution into liquids.

Stabilized silicicacid is converted to highly bioavailable ortho- and disilicic acids upon dissolution in liquids and in the stomach. JarroSil Improves:. Hair & Skin - Stimulates collagen production and keratin integrity. Nails - Strengthens nails by formation of crosslinks inside organic matrix (glycosaminoglycans). Bones & Joints - Stimulates collagen synthesis and osteoblast (bone-building) cells. Cardiovascular System - Promotes arterial elasticity.

"This one does not seem to be helping my thin falling hair but it does make the nails grow.

I do not like the fact that it upsets my stomach. I have tried with food, before food and after food and still get upset.

I do however like the way I can drop droplets into the water with no mixing. Simple and easy to use.

I need help for thinning hair after menopause. I will continue use a bit longer to try to see more results.

"I have been taking Jarrowsil for over a month now do not see much improvement in my nails.

When I took the orginal Biosel, I notice a difference in less than a week.

I am disappointed with Jarrowsil.
