Humans use silica as a food additive and a filler in drugs and vitamins. It has a low bioavailability, meaning your body will only absorb a tiny amount of silica and excrete the rest in urine. Most of the silica in your body is in a form called orthosilicic acid. It exists in your bones, tendons, aorta, liver, and kidneys. It is extremely important to monitor silica levels because there is no organ, tissue or system in which it does not take part. It helps skin appearance (for fine lines and wrinkles), hydration, complexion and skin elasticity; hair and nail strength. Promotes collagen formation, integrity and natural appearance and function of connective tissue of skin, nails, bones and joints. Vegan.
