What is Silica?
Silica or Silicon in Nature.
Silica or Silicon is an abundant substance in nature. Silica makes up 26.6% of the earth's crust, so it is not surprising that it is found in many products, materials and plants. Examples of plants high in Silica are the horsetail or horsetail plant and bamboo. Both grow well in wet soil rich in Silica.
Horsetail is commonly found in the Netherlands at natural springs. Where water leaves the earth it grows in large numbers . It is a prehistoric plant that has endured millennia of evolution, rich in Silica.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing and sturdiest plants on earth , also this plant contains a lot of Silica Promoting cell renewal and cell strength is a good property of this mineral.
Silica / Silicon supplements.
Silicon is also sold as a supplement. Unfortunately, the effect of this is very small because the Silica in undissolved form first passes through the digestive tract before entering the blood. Man tries to accomplish here where Mother Nature takes her time.
How does nature make Silica water?
In dissolved form, it is only available directly from the earth! The process of mountain decay causes the Silica of the earth to be mixed with water through natural filtration.
This water has the special ingredient OSA/Silicon (ortho silicic acid) this form of Silica when it enters our stomach can directly enter the blood through the stomach wall and therefore provides increased silica levels in the blood.
Benefits of high silica!
-
Drainage Aluminum via urine and sweat.
-
Stimulate Collagen.
-
Stimulation Fibroblasts (wound healing).
-
Stimulation Osteoblasts (bone formation).
-
Inhibition Osteoclasts.(bone loss).
-
Increase in Glycosaminoglycans(GAGs)(tissue strength).
-
Promotes calcium gain.
In the human body, high concentrations of Silicon are found in connective tissue and its derivatives, including bone, cartilage, tendons, skin, hair, nails, the aorta, major blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, liver, kidneys and lungs.
As you can see, Silica is indispensable in our bodies and so to keep our bodies healthy, a daily dose of liquid easily absorbable Silicon is a good ritual.
There is much we do not yet know about nature:
Strangely, the knowledge here and there lingers a bit and the liquid form is not known to many, that while it can be so beneficial for many.
There are only a few spring waters in the world that contain a silica content above 30 mg/l, our spring water ACILIS by SPRITZER® contains 60 mg/l and is thus ideally suited to activate the above phenomena.
So it is so easy to supply your body with one of the most useful minerals there is. Silica water gives your body just the little bit of earth we could use!
