Choline-Stabilized Orthosilicic acid is a highly absorbable form of the mineral silicon. Silicon plays a pivotal role in collagen synthesis within joints, bone mineralization, and overall immune health. Even though silicon is one of the most abundant minerals on the planet, most people don’t get enough.  That’s because it doesn’t accumulate in the body. Multiple studies have shown that silicon supplementation improves joint, bone, and skin health.<sup>17</sup>  Studies indicate that combining choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid with collagen peptides may stimulate collagen production and connective tissue repair more than either ingredient would on its own.<sup>18</sup> Because it appears to support tissue remodeling when combined with collagen, we included 10 mg of choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid in every serving of Collagen Synthesis. This is the most bioavailable form of the mineral and the most targeted method of supporting collagen maintenance, rebuilding, and longevity.
