WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
"Silicon is an essential trace element required for the normal growth, development, and integrity of hair, skin, nails, mucous membranes, arteries, bones, cartilage and connective tissue. Silicon is also involved in collagen formation, the fibrous protein matrix that provides support for tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bones.
The best-documented function of silicon is its action in facilitating bone mineralization. While silicon is exceptionally well tolerated at high doses, scientists currently estimate the human requirement for silicon to be from 5 to 20 mg per day.
The silicon is BioSil is a patented, stabilized and highly concentrated orthosilicic acid. It is the only form of silicon absorbed by the body and is Biologically Active Silicon. Healthy arteries contain considerably more silicon than distressed arteries. Silicon is essential for the strength and integrity of the arteries.
BioSil is 2.5 times more bioavailable than silicon in horsetail. Other forms of silicon must be converted into orthosilicic acid by stomach acid.
It increases the collagen content of the dermis layer of the skin. Silicon is vital for cartilage development and the integrity of joints and ligaments and increases serum calcium levels. Silicon helps maintain bone density and strength by facilitating the deposit of calcium and other minerals into bone tissue.
Silicon helps hair and nails grow faster, thicker, and harder."
