For those who take silica or horsetail (?????), do you think it's worth it? I read somewhere that silica is supposed to make the hair stronger. I guess it's supposed to make the new growth shiny also, but is it working for anyone?

I used to take as much as 30,000mg of msm. Being that msm has the tendency to make your hair texture come in straighter and shiny(msm also adds shine to the hair), the addition of the silica only added to this gloss effect. As I said, since your hair comes in straighter, light reflects to a higher degree on a straight or straighter, smooth surface than on any other surface. Again msm not only straightens hair, but adds shine to it. The silica also strengthens the hair and adds shine, so the compound effect of the msm and silica in my case did a wonderful job.
