Silicon is crucial for activating the hydroxylation enzymes for cross-linking collagen, which improves the strength and elasticity of this fibrous protein. Silicon helps hair grow thicker and stronger. Hair with higher silicon content can stay in better, fall out less, and has more shine and luster. Silicon supplementation inhibits the increase in concentration of aluminum in the brain by lowering the bioavailability of aluminum in food and beverages. As we age, our ability to metabolize dietary silicon into Orthosilicic Acid declines.
Older people eat less, as well as softer, processed foods which contain less silicon.
Food processing often removes minerals, including silicon, from our food. As BioSil is 20,000 times more concentrated than mineral water, one bottle of BioSil is equal to 600 bottles of mineral water. Each drops contains 1 mg of silicon.
