Product Information
Silica is the compound form of silicon an important element that stimulates, rebuilds and repairs collagen fibers, the most abundant protein in connective tissue. It’s essential for collagen production and crosslinking, supporting keratin, elastin, bones and cartilage for structural integrity and movement.
Silica also aids in bone mineralization and enhances skin, hair and nail health by bonding with collagen, elastin and keratin, contributing to the strength, durability and elasticity of connective tissues.
Uses for silica:
- Hair, skin, nails and collagen production
- Brittle nails and hair loss
- Bone health support
- Scars and wound healing
- Healthy ligaments
Daily intakes of silica range from about 20 mg/day to 50 mg/day in Western countries. Higher intakes (104 mg/day – 204 mg/day), have been reported in China and India, where plant-based foods are the major components of the diet.
Foods with higher amounts of silica do not always provide bioavailable silicon in the body.
Foods with higher silica content (e.g. unrefined grains, fibrous vegetables) typically have lower silica bioavailability due to the silica being bound within complex matrices like lignin, cellulose and phytates, which are poorly digested. A significant portion of silica being in polymerized or insoluble forms that the body cannot absorb.
Mesoporosil ® is a mesoporous structure, meaning it has a high surface area with nanoscale pores. These pores allow for controlled dissolution and targeted release of silicon in the form of orthosilicic acid. The mesoporous design prevents premature polymerization and enables a gradual release profile.
