“ Did you know that silica exists naturally? ”
“ Tahukah anda bahawa silika wujud secara semula jadi? ”
We are all born with high silica level in our body. But as time passes, its concentration decreases
as we age(1). It is essential for us to replenish it from time to time, especially when it is
concerning our skin benefits.
Kita semua dilahirkan dengan tahap silika yang tinggi dalam badan kita. Tetapi kepekatannya berkurangan apabila usia kita meningkat(1). Adalah penting bagi kita untuk menambahnya dari semasa ke semasa, terutamanya apabila ia berkaitan dengan manfaat kulit kita.
Silica Decreases As We Age
Silika Berkurangan Apabila Kita Meningkat Usia
“ Silica – An essential component for collagen production ”
“ Silika – Komponen penting untuk penghasilan kolagen ”
The lack of silica slows down the natural production of collagen in our body as we age. This
leads to a reduction of about 1% in the amount of collagen in our skin after 21 years of age.
This would also result in thickness reduction and elasticity loss, which is directly related to
the wrinkles depth(2)(3).
Kekurangan silika melambatkan penghasilan kolagen semula jadi dalam badan kita seiring dengan peningkatan usia. Ini menyebabkan pengurangan kira-kira 1% dalam jumlah kolagen dalam kulit kita selepas 21 tahun. Ia juga akan mengakibatkan pengurangan ketebalan dan kehilangan keanjalan, yang secara langsung berkaitan dengan kedalaman kedutan(2)(3).
