The Ultimate Silicon for Bones and Joints. 
Connective
tissue is composed of cells which produce the fibrous protein matrixes
of collagen and elastin, as well as the hydrated network of amino-sugars
called glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) of mucopolysaccarides (MPSs). Silicon
is known to act as a cross-linking agent which stabilizes the glycosamino-glycan
networks. A major function of GAGS is to attract and hold water in
the joints. Why is this important? Because articular cartilage in
the joints has no blood supply of its own. Healthy cartilage therefore
derives all its nutrition as well as its cushioning effect, from the
supply of water in the joints.
Glucosamine, an amino sugar need for the production of GAGS, is quite well known as an effective alternative support for joints. Given silicon's physiological association with GAGS, combining silicon with glucosamine will increase the effectiveness of the latter for promoting joint and connective tissue health.
An
important aspect of silicon is its essentiality for the formation
and maintenance of healthy joint cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate
requires silicon to construct the chondrocytes, the sponge-like
material in the joints that nourishes articular cartilage. In fact,
silicon, in the form of silanolates, actually reconnect together
the chondroitin sulfate molecules in joints. Increased hydration
promotes connective tissue elasticity and cushioning. So vital is
silicon to healthy joint function that in "Maximizing
the Arthritis Cure", the follow-up book to "The
Arthritis Cure", mention is made to the addition of silicon
to everyone's diet, because of the important role silicon has been
found to have in bone and cartilage formation.
Silicon is nature's anti-weakness compound. Studies at UCLA and other research institutions have that silicon as an essential element required for the normal growth, development, and integrity of bones, joints and connective tissue; as well as for hair, skin, mails, arteries and cartilage. Literally every part of the body that requires strength and elasticity requires silicon.
Specifically, silicon is associated with collagen formation, the fibrous protein matrix which provides support for body structures such as cartilage and bones. This is why optimal bone health depends upon silicon as well as calcium. Inadequate silicon intake has been associated with weak, brittle nails and weakened capillaries and arteries; because the essential protein matrix is deficient.
Our bodies process silicon inefficiently, and our ability to do even that diminishes as we age. Scientists currently estimate our daily requirement for silicon to be between 5 to 20 mg. per day. This is clearly why Biosil supplementation is necessary to ensure healthy bones, joints, hair, nails and connective tissue.
Suggested
Usage: Take 6 drops per day, or as directed by your qualified health
consultant. Mix drops in 1/4 cup of fluid, preferably juice, and
drink immediately or put drops into an empty hardshell capsule and
swallow immediately with liquid.
BioSil is a stabilized, concentrated Orthosilicic Acid.
The body absorbs silicon only in the form of Orthosilicic Acid: a dissolved form of silicon that consists of a single molecule or monomer. Orthosolicic Acid is produced in small amounts in the stomach from dietary silicon. Only biosil contains a highly potent 2% solution of stabilized, biologically active stabilized, concentrated Orthosilicic Acid. Horsetail, algae and polymerized silicic acid have a relatively poor rate of conversion to stabilized, concentrated Orthosilicic Acid and, thus, are not well absorbed. Human studies indicate that while silicon from horsetail absorbs slightly better than the colloidal form, BioSil absorbs 2.5 times better than horsetail or colloidal gel.
Silicon
is an essential mineral required for the strength and elasticity
of bones, joints, connective tissue, hair, skin, nails, mucous membranes
and arteries.
BioSil is a 30 ml solution of stabilized, concentrated orthosilicic acid, choline chloride and glycerine. Each drop contains 1 mg of silicon as stabilized, concentrated orthosilicic acid. There are 600 drops in each bottle.
Solution composition: 2% elemental silicon (Si) as stabilized, concentrated orthosilicic acid [Si(OH)4] in a solution of 47% choline chloride, 33% glycerine and 18% water.
High Potency - As Biosil is 20,000 times more concentrated than mineral water, one drop of Biosil (1 mg) is equal to an entire bottle of mineral water!
Maximum Absorption - Biosil contains stabilized orthosilicic acid, the only form of silicon absorbed directly through the stomach wall and the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream.
Contains
the only bioavailable form of silicon.
Important role in bone calcification.
Silicon deficiency may predispose
someone for certain heart disease.
