Organic Silicon 70 mg - 1000 ml
Silicon
Silicon (silicic acid) is a unique and essential mineral. It takes its name from the Latin word "silex", which means pebble. In nature, silicon is not found in its pure form, but always in combination with oxygen as silicon dioxide, also known as silicic acid.
Beauty mineral
Silicon is one of the components of connective tissue (bone tissue, cartilage, muscles, blood vessels and tendons), which makes up about 40% of our body. Silicon is also called the beauty mineral, because of the beneficial effects it can have on skin, hair and nails. The body cannot produce silicon itself and therefore we must obtain it through diet or supplementation.
What does silicon contain?
Silicon is a common element in the Earth's crust and is widespread in nature. It occurs in different forms, such as silicon dioxide (silica) and silicates. These are some sources where silicon is found:
· Plants: Silicon is naturally present in many plants. The silicon content is relatively high, especially in grasses such as rice, wheat and oats. Silicon plays a role in the growth and development of plant cells and provides support for the structure and strength of the plant.
· Grains: Grains and grain products are a good source of silicon. In addition to the aforementioned grasses, other grains such as corn, barley and rye are also sources of silicon.
· Fruits and vegetables: Silicon is present in various fruits and vegetables, albeit in smaller amounts. Vegetables such as beans, beets, cucumbers, tomatoes and leafy greens contain some amounts of silicon.
· Water: Drinking water can also contribute to silicon intake, depending on its source. Silicon can occur in water sources that flow through silica-rich rocks.
It is important to note that the amount of silicon in food can vary depending on factors such as growing conditions, soil composition and processing methods. In addition, the bioavailability of silicon in food can vary, meaning that not all silicon present is absorbed equally well by the body.
Easily absorbable form
Mattisson Organic Silicon (monomethylsilanetriol) contains 70 mg elemental silicon per 12.5 ml dose. This involves a carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. Organic Silicon is better absorbed than other, non-organic types of silicon.
We supply this supplement with a handy measuring cup with dosage lines. This way your dosage of silicon is always accurate to the milliliter!
