Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t I get silica from food?
Certainly, there are food sources, but very little of that silica is absorbed during digestion. In fact, you’d probably have to eat 50 bananas just to get about 8 mg of absorbed silica. So a supplemental source is a must. In fact, in Europe, silica is more popular than calcium for bone support. Considering that silica does even more than support bone density and strength, it is a sensible supplemental choice for joints, hair, skin, and nails too.*
How does Silica-20 help keep bones healthy?
Silica-20 supports the natural growth processes of bones by helping them retain calcium longer-by an average of 50 percent or more.† Additionally, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 65 women over the span of 12 months revealed that Silica-20 supported bone health and strength.*
Is the use of Silica-20 supported by research?
Yes. A 12 month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 65 women revealed that Silica-20 supported bone health and strength.*
Another Silica-20 study with 150 individuals showed support for healthy bones. Doctors reported that in 80 percent of participants, significant indicators of bone health support were evident after 15 days of use, and further gains were measurable after 6 weeks of use.*
