Essential silica
Nature's master builder and pioneer for your health
Plants owe their structural stability to this substance, and it is the second most common element in the crust of our earth: Silica, a trace element widely unappreciated. It is found everywhere in nature where there is a need for structural strength, elasticity, and flexibility.For many animals and plants it is an essential module ensuring a stable shape, for example in diatoms, in horsetail stalks and leaves, or in the stems of the bamboo plant. By developing our silicea products, we have harnessed these strengthening qualities for the benefit of humans.
Silica – an essential trace element
When referring to silica, the term trace element does not refer to quantities in which this substance is present in nature, but rather to the level of concentration in human tissue. Although there are no more than 1.4 grams in total in our body, silica is present in almost every single cell. Especially fast-growing cells such as those in skin, hair, and nails contain large amounts of silica.
As we grow older, however, the level of silica in our body decreases. Elasticity and resilience of the connective tissue, too, eventually decline, and the water binding capacity is reduced. Silica promotes the skin’s ability to bind water, and has a positive influence on the skins’s metabolism. At the same time, it helps to build up the connective tissue and promotes growth of hair and fingernails. As the human body needs silica to perform these functions, this trace element has to be supplied continuously through our diet.

Possible fields of application are in the treatment of loss of hair, fragility of nails, a lack of elasticity of the skin, osteoporosis, which are also caused by an insufficient supply of silica.
