Silica is essential to bone matrix formation and bone mineralization.
Silica acts as a regulating factor for the deposition of calcium and phosphorous in bone tissue
Nutritional deficiencies of silica led to skeletal deformities such as abnormal skull and long bone structures, as well as poorly-formed joints with decreased cartilage content.
Silica deficiency leads to reduced synthesis of collagen which is essential for the flexibility of the bone, tendons and ligaments.
Higher Silica Higher bone mineral density (BMD) Stronger bone
