Found this paper while looking at silica chemistry. LINK It's a silica supplement that promotes collagen production and oral intake of a few mg per day is enough to soften skin, decrease hair and nail brittleness and make skin more elastic. I have no use for this myself but it could be use for older members. Might even make you look younger. although we'd have to try it to find out. Also it's dirt cheap LINK
