What is this page for?

First and foremost: checking IMD against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.

Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of IMD by Quicksilver Scientific

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 6, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: silica extract (a form of silicon). Silica is a mineral found naturally in foods and water, and in supplement form it's been studied for bone health and hair.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Silicon's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Silicon for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Osteoporosis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for silica shows it's possibly effective for osteoporosis — meaning there's some research backing its use, but more solid studies would help confirm it. For male-pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia) and dental implant complications (peri-implantitis), the evidence isn't reliable enough yet to rate how well it works.

We hold no effectiveness data for other claims you might see.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Silicon

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Silica from food and water is generally well tolerated, and the ingredient is rated as likely safe in pregnancy. However, the safety data on long-term or high-dose supplemental silica is limited — we don't have solid long-term safety information.

The serious adverse effects documented are from occupational inhalation of crystalline silica dust in industrial settings (such as silicosis and lung disease), not from oral supplements at normal doses. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this supplement while nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Silicon

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the silica in this product. That said, it's still worth checking your exact medications with the tool on this page, since absence of documented interactions is not a guarantee none exist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're interested in silica for bone health, the evidence is modest but promising. Just know the long-term safety of supplemental doses hasn't been thoroughly studied.

If you're pregnant, it's rated likely safe — but if you're breastfeeding or taking any medications, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

IMD by Quicksilver Scientific: Common Questions

Does IMD by Quicksilver Scientific interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in IMD. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
IMD contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this help my hair grow back?
Silica has been studied for male-pattern baldness, but the evidence isn't strong enough yet to say how well it works. If hair loss is your main goal, talk with your doctor about whether this is worth trying alongside other options.
Is it safe to take while breastfeeding?
Safety data for silica supplements during breastfeeding hasn't been established. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product while nursing — they can help you decide if it's right for you.
Can I take this long-term?
Silica from food and water is generally well tolerated. However, we don't have solid long-term safety data on supplemental doses at high levels, so check with your doctor or pharmacist about your personal situation and how long you plan to use it.
What exactly is silica extract?
Silica is a form of silicon, a mineral found naturally in many foods and in water. In this powder form, it's been extracted and concentrated for supplement use.
Are there any fillers or other ingredients in here?
This product contains only the active silica extract — there are no inactive ingredients or fillers listed in the data we hold.
