Product Detail

Silica Oxy-Bone Silicon contains the only bioavailable form of silicon –orthosilicic acid. Studies at UCLA and a recent review in the Journal of Nutritional Health and Aging have proven that silicon is an essential element to support the integrity of bones. Silicon is a trace mineral associated with collagen formation, the fibrous protein matrix which provides support for body structures such as cartilage and bones. Silicon also helps maintain calcium deposition in the bones for optimal bone health. Only Silica Oxy-Bone Silicon contains a highly potent solution of stabilized, biologically active concentrated orthosilicic acid combined with boron, calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, sulfur and zinc which is rapidly absorbed directly through the stomach wall into the blood stream.

Silica Oxy-Bone Silicon and Bone Health

Silicon provides important support for bone calcification, especially in the growth of new bone. Osteoblasts use silicon to help begin laying down a connective tissue matrix. They require zinc, copper and manganese as essential cofactors for enzymes involved in the synthesis of this bony matrix. Once the structure of the bony matrix has been completed, the osteoblasts switch their function, and begin to fill in this matrix with minerals such as boron, zinc, calcium, sulfur, and magnesium.

Absorption is Critical

Dietary sources of silicon depend upon the soil or the ocean to obtain adequate levels, but many contain only the insoluble, polymerized forms of silicon. For absorption to occur, dietary silicon must be oxygenated to form Orthosilicic Acid (Si{OH}4), the bioavailable form found in Silica Oxy-Bone Silicon. Our mineral combination of silica and boron, calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese, sulfur and zinc has been broken down to a post metabolized size to achieve maximum absorbability

Why is Silica Oxy-Bone Silicon Different?

Silica Oxy-Bone Silicon (Si{OH}4) is 20,000 times more soluble than silica (SIO2-found in horsetail and colloidal gels) and many times more bioavailable than other forms of silicon!
