Benefits of taking BioSil

BioSil’s benefits stem from its patented ch-OSA® (choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid) formula, clinically shown to boost the body’s production of collagen, keratin, and elastin, resulting in thicker hair, stronger nails, smoother skin with fewer wrinkles, improved skin elasticity, and healthier bones and joints by supporting bone collagen and mineral density.

BioSil’s main ingredient is patented ch-OSA (Choline-Stabilized Orthosilicic Acid), which activates your body’s production of collagen, keratin, and elastin for skin, hair, and nails, with other components like microcrystalline cellulose, purified water, and often biotin (in Advanced versions) in the capsule, plus hypromellose for the shell. 
What is the difference between BioSil and collagen?

Because BioSil works through your body’s natural pathways, the collagen it generates has your own DNA fingerprint, therefore making it more effective than simply taking a collagen supplement. BioSil is not made out of collagen, it generates collagen, and there is a big difference between the two.

The active ingredient in BioSil is choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA)
Collagen doesn’t directly burn belly fat but can indirectly support fat loss, especially when combined with exercise, by increasing feelings of fullness (satiety) to reduce calorie intake, supporting muscle mass (which boosts metabolism), and potentially influencing how your body stores fat, leading to less visceral fat

Five signs collagen is working include firmer, more hydrated skin with fewer fine lines, stronger and faster-growing nails, reduced joint stiffness, improved muscle recovery after exercise, and potentially better gut health, all pointing to increased skin elasticity, connective tissue strength, and structural support

Biosil can be beneficial for everyone. Collagen production typically peaks around age 21, and levels decline an average of 1% per year thereafter, though degradation rates vary with genetics and lifestyle factors.

1 month: Faster growing nails are one of the first improvements people say they notice.†

2 months: More voluminous, faster-growing, and lustrous hair is commonly reported in the second month.†

3 months: Glowing, brighter, more luminous skin can happen within three months for some people, according to reviews. Biosil® reduces joint discomfort, increases mobility and range of flexibility, and improves cartilage condition after three months, according to a clinical study.†

Why is there choline in choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid?

Biosil® employs our patented choline-stabilization technology because years of research have proven choline to be the ideal stabilizer of orthosilicic acid (OSA). Not only does choline stabilize OSA, it also has several vital biological benefits:

  1. Choline is a precursor of phospholipids, which are essential in building cell membranes.†
  2. Choline is involved in cell signalling (e.g., neurotransmitters like acetylcholine), liver health, and lipid metabolism.†
  3. Choline protects collagen from homocysteine, which is known to degrade collagen. Choline converts homocysteine into methionine, a beneficial amino acid.†

In the USA, federal regulations require that we state the “elemental” or “theoretically pure” amount of each nutrient and disclose the form of that nutrient. Each recommended dose of Biosil® contains 100 mg of elemental choline in the form of choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid.

In the USA, federal regulations require that we state the “elemental” or “theoretically pure” amount of each mineral in our product, and also disclose the form of that mineral. Thus we say silicon and ch-OSA® on our label. Each recommended dose of Biosil® contains 5 mg of elemental silicon in the form of choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid.

The ch-OSA® complex has significant benefits over other forms of silicon because:

  1. Biosil®’s silicon is the most easily usable form for the body. Silicon in other forms must first be converted to OSA in order to be used. The conversion of other forms of silicon into OSA varies tremendously by person, and generally declines with age.
  2. Biosil®’s orthosilicic acid is stabilized with choline to prevent the OSA molecules from reacting with each other, or with other proteins or minerals in the body.
  3. Biosil®’s choline component helps transport OSA straight to collagen-generating cells. Without a “transport molecule” like choline, OSA must diffuse into collagen-generating cells—a much less efficient way to enter cells.
  4. Biosil®’s choline component neutralizes homocysteine, which degrades collagen and suppresses new collagen production.†

First, ch-OSA® triggers the production of new collagen, keratin, and elastin.†

Many collagen supplements are made of ground livestock (hooves, hide, scales, bones, and other meat byproducts), but even the plant-based or protein peptide supplements rely on the idea that you can increase your collagen levels by eating enough of it. However, when you eat collagen your body treats it like any other protein: it breaks it down and digests it as food. Instead of eating foreign, non-human collagen, taking ch-OSA® activates your own cells to produce fresh collagen, elastin, and keratin.†

Secondly, ch-OSA® also protects your existing collagen, keratin, and elastin from degradation.†

The choline in ch-OSA® is proven to neutralize homocysteine and regulate cortisol, two “anti-collagens” which destroy existing collagen and suppress new production. In this way, ch-OSA® protects existing elasticity and strength in your hair, skin, nails and bones.†

ch-OSA® is a uniquely effective complex that activates the body’s production of collagen, elastin, and keratin. It also has properties that protect existing collagen and elastin from damage. Clinical trials have found that taking ch-OSA® produces noticeable effects all over the body, including skin, hair, nails, joints, and bones.†

ch-OSA® is a combination of two components:

  • orthosilicic acid (OSA): the biologically active form of silicon
  • choline (ch): an essential nutrient that neutralizes collagen-destroying homocysteine and helps regulate cortisol†

When combined together as ch-OSA®, these two components stabilize each other for optimal absorption into collagen-producing cells.

The silicon atoms in Biosil® originate from sand (silicon dioxide). The orthosilicic acid naturally found in mineral water likewise comes from sand. We have methods to derive orthosilicic acid from other sources, such as rice hulls or horsetail, but prefer sand for its purity—it contains fewer potential contaminants than plant sources.

Our production process has three steps. First, we form single orthosilicic acid molecules (identical to those found in mineral water). Then we convert choline chloride free choline. Third, we combine the choline and orthosilicic acid into choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid complex.

The choline stabilizes the orthosilicic acid molecules by preventing them from reacting with each other, or with proteins or other minerals in the body. Equally importantly, choline also helps transport orthosilicic acid straight to the body’ collagen-generating cells, as well as protecting collagen from homocysteine.†
