How it works
Silicon from Tabashir is incorporated into the body's matrix, promoting cross-linking of collagen fibers and enhancing keratin production. This action strengthens hair shafts, improves nail resilience, and supports dermal elasticity for healthier-looking skin.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address dull skin, hair thinning, premature ageing. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
Avoid / careful
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
