Product Description

JarroSil delivers choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA), better known as BioSil. The liquid is taken with a small dosing cap and provides 10 mg silicon per 10 drops.

What We Like

  • Original BioSil ingredient
  • High serving count: 100 servings per bottle
  • Amber glass protects against light degradation
  • Mixes into water or juice easily

What We’re Missing

  • Slightly mineral-bitter taste
  • Daily drop-counting can be inconvenient
  • No combination with collagen or vitamin C

Usage Recommendation

Stir 10 drops into water or juice and drink once daily before a meal. Shake the bottle before use and store cool after opening, but not in the refrigerator.

Ingredient dossier

Silicon is marketed for skin, hair, nails and connective tissue. Biologically plausible but clinical evidence is limited.
