Terranova Silica 150mg Complex

What it is

Terranova Silica 150mg Complex is a once-a-day silica capsule with 150mg per capsule, sat on top of Terranova's MAGNIFOOD botanical base. Available in 50 and 100 capsule sizes.

Silica is one of those nutrients that flies under the radar of most supplement shoppers but turns up consistently in beauty-from-within routines, particularly for people working on hair, skin and nail support.

Why it works

Silica is a trace mineral the body uses in the formation and maintenance of connective tissue. It shows up in hair, skin, nails, bones and the connective structures that hold everything together. As we age, dietary intake tends to drop and tissue silica content drops with it.

Food sources include oats, brown rice, beer (genuinely), some mineral waters and unrefined grains. Plenty of people don't hit a meaningful daily intake from food, which is where a steady-dose capsule earns its place in a beauty-from-within routine.

This isn't a regulated nutrient with a long list of authorised health claims behind it the way calcium or vitamin D have. We talk about silica in terms of its traditional role in connective tissue and as part of a hair-skin-nails routine, sat alongside the nutrients that do have authorised claims (biotin and zinc for normal hair and skin, vitamin C for normal collagen formation).

The MAGNIFOOD base adds concentrated whole-food botanicals chosen to complement the mineral. Horsetail, the traditional silica-rich botanical, often features in this kind of formula.

Who it's for

A solid daily choice for:

• People building a hair, skin and nails routine and looking for a foundational mineral to anchor it
• Adults wanting connective tissue support as part of a wider joint or beauty-from-within stack
• Anyone curious about a trace mineral that's easy to under-supply from modern diets
• Customers already taking biotin or collagen and looking for a sensible add-on

It sits naturally in our Beauty From Within range and pairs well with collagen, biotin or a multivitamin.

What's different about Terranova

150mg per capsule is a sensible everyday dose. Terranova doesn't shotgun the label with 500% NRV of everything to look impressive, they build to functional doses with clean labels and the MAGNIFOOD whole-food base sat underneath.

No artificial colours, no maltodextrin padding, plant-source capsule shell. The brand has earned its place on our shelves over years of consistent quality, which is harder to do than it sounds.

Dosing and usage

One capsule daily with food. Not intended as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, on prescription medication, or have a known medical condition, speak to your GP or pharmacist before adding it in. Adults only.

Pair it with

For a fuller beauty-from-within routine, customers often add a biotin or zinc capsule from the Vitamins & Minerals range and a quality omega from our Omega & Oils range. The full Beauty From Within range lists everything we'd build a hair-skin-nails stack around.
