GLOBAL STUDIES AND FINDINGS ON SILICA
Silica has been the one of the main study and research topics when it comes to nutrients beneficial for our health. You’ll find links and extracts of information backed by years of research conducted by notable professors and researchers.
SILICA BOOSTS COLLAGEN’S ROLE
“Silicon in the form of orthosilicic acid enhances the role of collagen… something that is likely critical to the mechanical performance of bone and other mineralized tissues.”

PREVENTING ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
“However, research has shown a significant protective effect of silicon in drinking water, irrespective of the aluminium content, with higher silicon reducing the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease.”

INCREASING HAIR GROWTH RATE
“Orthosilicic acid (silica) has a beneficial role in the hair, leading to a faster growth rate and an increase in resistance to aggression.”

SILICA AFFECTS OTHER MINERALS POSITIVELY
“Silicon may affect the absorption, retention or action of other mineral elements (e.g., aluminum, copper, magnesium).”

SILICA RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE
“It has been suggested that an adequate intake in order to promote beneficial effects for bone could be considered to be around 25mg silicon/day.”
