Silicon: strength for health and well-being

Remarkable benefits of silicon for your health and well-being

Chronic silicon deficiencies lead to serious illnesses. The biological and medical importance of silicon has long been researched. The key to combating the loss of essential silicon in the body lies in uninterrupted support, which should begin as early as possible.

Silicon supplementation should be seen like planning ahead for retirement income: there, too, we start saving at the age of 20 so that we have built up enough savings by the time we reach 65. Continuous supplementation promises the best prevention of deficiency symptoms. Even without noticeable signs of silicon deficiency, such as dry, wrinkled skin, dull, lifeless hair and brittle nails, preventive health care should be practised.

Strengthening the immune system with silicon is scientifically confirmed. Even if we needed silicon for no other reason, we would still need it to activate the body’s defences, to invite silicon as the conductor of mineral metabolism, to transport oxygen to the cells, to buffer over-acidification and to make up electron deficits. While silicon predominates in a finely dispersed colloidal form in the bodies of young people and contributes greatly to their greater firmness and flexibility, the inactive form is deposited mainly in the hair and nails in the bodies of older people. From this it can be concluded that there is a constant silicon metabolism in the body, which needs support especially in older people. The important tissue functions of silicon can be helped as soon as the increasing loss of silicon in the body becomes apparent.
