Horsetail is commonly found in the Netherlands near natural springs, where water leaves the earth it grows in large numbers. It is a prehistoric plant that has endured millennia of evolution and is rich in silicon. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing and sturdiest plants on earth, it too contains a lot of silicon. Promoting cell renewal and cell strength is a good property of this mineral.

Silicon is also commonly sold as a supplement. Unfortunately, its effectiveness is low because silica in undissolved form first passes through the digestive tract before entering the blood. In dissolved form, silicon is only available directly from the earth. The process of mountain decay causes silica from the earth to be mixed with water through natural filtration.

This water contains the special constituent silica(OSA). This form of silica, when it enters our stomach, can directly enter the blood through the stomach wall, thus causing increased levels of silica 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. Silica is thus indispensable in our bodies and to keep our bodies healthy, a daily dose of silica is thus a good support.
