Hair grows at an average rate of 1/2 inch a month. My hair may grow in at a slower pace, and it's quite fine/thin. I read from many sources that supplemental Silica and Biotin will help with hair, skin and finger nails. And many report improvements within two weeks. Biotin and Silica twice a day. |

I have my hair highlighted so I can see the new growth. If it's more than 1/2" in four weeks I will know the supplements are working. Also I will be watching for stronger and longer finger nails, and healthier skin complexion. |

If it works, I will continue taking these supplements. |

Hoping the supplements won't do any harm. And I can stop at any time if something feels off. |

Matthew Cornell Great experiment. I'm curious to know the results - I wonder if the stuff will help. Good luck!

Lizzy It's been several weeks now, and while I think my hair is getting fuller I also seem to be gaining weight mysteriously. Though I didn't do a pure experiment so I am not sure why. I am going to remove the silica and see if the weight starts to come off. And note any impact on my hair for the next two weeks. Then try removing Biotin if it doesn't work.

Matthew Cornell Sorry about the weight gain - a surprise? I concur - remove a variable and see what happens. Looking forward to hearing your results.

Lizzy Hey Matt, yes the weight gain was a total surprise! Especially since it happened really fast. But also because with hypothyroid, weight gain is a measure of health and medicine. So this is a big warning sign.

Lizzy Incredible! I stopped taking Silica two days ago and have lost 4 lbs already.

Lizzy This experiment has been hard to measure. I have been on Biotin for a month and a half. It does seem like my hair is growing faster and fuller. But I still have the weigh gain issue. Stopping the Silica seemed to help but then the weight came back which could mean its the Biotin or my Thyroid medicine. First I will stop the Biotin for a week and see if that makes a difference. If no difference, then I will shift my thyroid meds again.
