biotin + silicon

Biotin + silicon, specifically in the form of the Lustriva™ complex, is a patented dietary supplement ingredient that combines inositol-stabilized arginine silicate (ASI) and magnesium biotinate. Developed by Nutrition21, this combination is engineered to enhance the bioavailability of both silicon and biotin compared to standard forms. Silicon plays a crucial role in the cross-linking of collagen and elastin fibers, contributing to the structural integrity of the skin and hair. Biotin is a vital cofactor for enzymes involved in the synthesis of keratin, the primary protein in hair and nails. Clinical research has shown that the complex can significantly increase hair thickness and improve skin health, particularly in women experiencing age-related thinning.
