Silicon (Si) - Did you know about the importance of the essential mineral called Silicon (Si) or Silica (SiO2) for the human health especially for the health of our blood vessels? A Silicon-deficient diet can e.g. easily result in cardiovascular diseases (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arteries sclerosis etc.)) because this essential mineral is found in its highest concentrations in connective tissues such as cartilage, tendons, collagen, bone and skin (epidermis) and in the walls (endothelium) of our blood vessels!
The supplementation with (food grade!) Silica can help to prevent arterial disease by strengthening the blood vessels. Studies confirm that with age, silica disappears from the blood vessel which it critical for the connective tissue and is resulting in greater cardiac risk for that reason.
