Someone mentioned taking biotin and biosil together for thinning hair. What is BIOSIL ?? I have been taking just biotin. Please share any information you can. Thanks.

I take both. Biosil is just a supplement. It's a combination of protein ingredients. Here is what is says on their web site. My doctor says it's ok for me to take. He actually kind of scoffed that anything could help my hair or nails as I age, but I think it has helped, especially my nails. I think my skin looks better too.

The condition of skin, hair, nails, and bones depends on three essential structural proteins: Collagen, Keratin and Elastin. They are known as your "Health and Beauty" proteins.
Collagen "plumps" the skin removing wrinkles and preventing them from forming. In addition, collagen helps to continuously hydrate your skin - from the inside out. Keratin is the protein that's packed into your hair shaft providing hair with thickness, strength, and elasticity. Plus, Keratin gives your nails strength and clarity. Elastin gives your skin its ability to "bounce back," preventing fine lines and wrinkles. For bones, collagen provides the "binding sites" for calcium. With age, these three structural proteins decline.
BioSil™ is specifically formulated to help nourish all three health and beauty proteins helping to restore them to more youthful levels.†
