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.

People usually observe the effects of collagen loss in their skin, hair and nails, and feel the changes in their bones and joints. Biosil® helps rejuvenate these collagen-dependant tissues at any age.†

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.†

3 months: Biosil® reduces joint discomfort, increases mobility and range of flexibility, and improves cartilage condition after three months, according to a clinical study.†

4-5 months: Biosil® significantly improves wrinkles and fine lines, as well as skin elasticity in this timeframe, according to a clinical study.†

4-6 months: Biosil® reduces nail brittleness after four months, and reduces vertical lines and roughness after six, according to a clinical study.†

9 months: Biosil® strengthens, thickens, and elasticizes hair after nine months, according to a clinical study.†

12 months: Biosil® increases bone collagen production, and improves bone density at the hip, according to a clinical study.†

Meaningful proof of Biosil®’s effects on skin, hair, nails, bones, and joints comes from randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trials published in top peer-reviewed medical journals—the highest standard for clinical testing.

There is a major difference between the phrases "clinically proven" and "clinically tested." Any product can be tested in a clinical setting, but only those products that show statistically significant results may use the phrase "clinically proven." Biosil® is clinically proven in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials.

Biosil® is not made from collagen, it generates collagen. When you ingest collagen your body breaks it down and digests it as food. Your body views collagen supplements like any other protein-rich meal: meat, seafood, poultry. In this way, many collagen supplements aren't very different from drinking a protein shake.

Biosil®, by contrast, turns on your body’s collagen-producing cells. In your skin, these cells are called fibroblasts. In bone, they’re called osteoblasts. When your fibroblasts and osteoblasts begin to slow down with age, collagen production diminishes. Biosil® has been clinically proven to increase collagen formation by supporting these cells, and helping them operate at full capacity. What’s more, Biosil® protects the newly formed collagen, as well as your existing collagen, from damage.†

Biosil® was introduced for sale in the USA in 1994 and meets or exceeds all FDA requirements for dietary supplements. The FDA inspects our manufacturing facility in Belgium, and also inspects and approves Biosil® products for sale upon their arrival in the USA. The FDA reviews all of our claims substantiations, ingredients and safety practices prior to approving our products.

In Europe, the European Food Safety Authority, considered by many to be one of the most stringent review panels in the world, has reviewed and approved ch-OSA®. Their written opinion deeming ch-OSA® safe and bioavailable can be found online here.

In Canada, Health Canada's rigorous new regulatory program has granted Biosil® products Natural Product Numbers after evaluating our scientific support, and confirming safety and claims substantiation (Biosil® Capsules: NPN 80023605; Biosil® Liquid Drops: NPN 800005878.)
