Taking silicon and fish oil for skin/nails/hair?
I have been breaking out and noticed my skin hasn't seemed as evenly toned lately. I already eat a very healthy diet, drink lots of water and exercise frequently. So it was recommended to me to check my multivitamin for silicon (which it didn't contain), and since it didn't contain silicon to start taking it as a liquid supplement along with cod liver oil for healthier skin. I was just wondering if anyone else who is taking this supplement could tell me how long it will take to notice results? I also found it could help with thinning hair and nails, not to mention the anti-aging properties, which my mom has been complaining about. So should I recommend taking silicon and cod liver oil to her too for her nails and hair (and wrinkles lol)? And also any other health benefits of taking this combination would be appriciated too 
Both the silicon and cod liver oil are liquid supplements. I already take a multivitamin, which is why I am not taking a hair/skin/nails supplement in pill form, it contains vitamins too. I don't want to take extremely high concentrations of vitamins.
Actually, and I feel quite silly, it's silica I'm taking not silicon. I guess I'm just used to hearing silicon not silica.
