Further studies revealed that Silica Hydride has the ability to scavenge the superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical, the most dangerous of oxygen free radicals. They possess a missing single electron, which is an unstable condition. A free radical will travel through the body stealing an electron from vital tissues. Normal, healthy cells to make up for its deficiency, which can damage healthy cells. This can impair normal intracellular functions, cell membranes, and numerous other important molecules in the cellular environment.
Free radicals are unstable toxic substances generated by everyday metabolic processes.
The presence of these compounds is normal. Especially fried foods. Silica Hydride is a compound of silica and hydrogen ions, which contain loosely bound extra electron. This extra electron is freely given to neutralize free radicals, rendering them harmless. Silica Hydride is unique because hydrogen, being the smallest element, can provide trillions of these electrons in each capsule.
