Silica is an elemental that naturally occurs in our body, between birth and adulthood, our reserves on silica regularly decreases.
Our bodies need silica regardless of our age and we become deficient in this essential trace element simply through the aging process.
In our youth, our tissues absorb and maintain high levels of silica - enabling our bodies to remain flexible, resilient, and energetic - but as we age, our silica levels steadily decline until they become almost non-existent.
80% of all our body's silica is used up by the time we become adults, and decline is more pronounced as we approach and pass middle age. A teenager has 400% more silica than a 75 year old.
Silica supplementation is an aid in supporting:
- Healthy bones
- Flexible mechanics
- Connective tissue plasticity
- Cartilage bones
- Flexible mechanics
- Connective tissue plasticity
- Cartilage and blood vessels
- Skin, nails, hair
- Teeth and gums.
Studies have shown that silica consumed through food only has an absorption of 2 to 3%.
Silica from Orgono has the highest absorption available.
