HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hair - Skin - Nails by BioSil
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
BioSil Hair - Skin - Nails has 2 active ingredients. Choline is a nutrient your body uses for various functions, including nerve and brain health.
Silicon is a mineral found naturally in foods and water that your body uses to support bone and connective tissue health. The capsules also contain microcrystalline cellulose (a binder), purified water, and a capsule shell — the standard inactive ingredients that hold everything together.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold is mixed and incomplete. Silicon is possibly effective for osteoporosis — the one condition where we have some supporting data.
For the other claims — hair loss, bone health, and nail strength — the evidence either isn't established in our records or is too limited to say whether the ingredients work. If you're hoping this will address a specific health concern, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the science actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both choline and silicon are generally well tolerated in normal doses. Choline can cause a fishy body odor at any dose; at high doses (9 grams or more daily) it may also cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sweating.
Silicon from food and supplements is safe in typical amounts, though long-term safety at high doses hasn't been thoroughly studied. For pregnancy and breastfeeding: choline is rated Likely Safe — it's actually important during both periods — but use only prenatal doses or supplement amounts advised by your doctor.
Silicon, however, has insufficient safety data in pregnancy and lactation; the facts advise against supplemental use during these times. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Meds to double-check
Minor interactions only
If you take atropine or other anticholinergic medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — choline may reduce how well these drugs work. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.
BioSil Hair - Skin - Nails is generally well tolerated and contains ingredients with some research behind them — especially silicon for bone health. If you take atropine or any anticholinergic medication (used for eye conditions or urinary issues), check your medications with us first.
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should talk with their doctor or pharmacist before starting, since silicon supplementation isn't recommended during those times.

General Statements
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles Thickens and strengthens hair Strengthens nails Promotes healthy bones and joints
Clinically proven
Made in Belgium
The breakthrough in collagen! Collagen is essential for beautiful skin, hair and nails as well as healthy bones and joints. But starting at age 21, collagen diminishes 1% per year. By age 30, the signs become visible. For years, scientists searched for a method to give the human body the ability to regenerate its own collagen.
Nourish your body's 3 "beauty proteins" - naturally! The condition of your skin, hair, and nails depends on three proteins: Collagen "plumps out" skin, removing wrinkles and preventing them form forming. In addition, collagen is essential for strong, healthy bones and joints. Keratin is the protein that's packed into your hair shaft. It gives your hair thickness, body, strength, and elasticity. Plus, keratin gives your nails strength. Elastin gives your skin its ability to stretch and "bounce back" preventing fine lines and wrinkles. With age, collagen, keratin and elastin decline.
