Silica is a compound made up of 2 of the most abundant elements in the Earth’s crust, Silicon and Oxygen. It is a necessary element in the health of our connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and blood vessels and is also essential to the development of healthy nails , hair and skin.

Collagen and elastin are both found in our connective tissues and are made up largely of Silica. As we age our skin lacks the elasticity that collage and elastin provide and research has shown that supplementing with Silica will help to normalize skins suppleness and tone, helping you regain that youthful glow.  It also helps to relieve such symptoms as rashes, acne, abscesses, warts, eczema, insect bites, burns and frost bite.

But beautiful skin is not the only healthy outcome of Silica supplementation. A full head of shiny, lustrous hair is another desirable quality we are all looking to achieve and studies are showing Silica’s influence in preventing hair loss and improving hairs elasticity and strength.

A good indication of Silica depletion can be seen in your hands. Your nails are complex protein structures that grow an average of 4-5 millimetres per month. If they are slow to grow, brittle or have a dark abnormal surface chances are you’re low on Silica. De-calcification of the bones is a serious disease and fragile nails are usually a precursor to such problems. Our bones are made up mainly of Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorus, and also Silica. One of Silica’s main responsibilities is the absorption of minerals into our bones. Silica also increases the collagen in our bones creating a stronger, more flexible skeletal system. 

Silica is also key to tooth and gum health. By aiding the absorption of Calcium, Silica is assisting in the hardening of tooth enamel helping to prevent cavities, gum bleeding, atrophy and recession of the gum and also fights caries.

Silica is providing to be an essential nutrient that provides us with an added boost to our daily lives in a stronger, healthier body from the inside out.
