Key Features
Supplementation with a bioavailable form of silicon may be beneficial in individuals with a variety of connective tissue disorders. In joints, silicon is a critical component of articular cartilage and provides structural integrity by binding to glycosaminoglycans within the matrix of joints.
Silicon is an important initiator of bone mineralisation and facilitates the deposition of calcium and other minerals into bone tissue. It also inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and bone loss. Increased intake of bioavailable silicon has been associated with increased bone mineral density and supplementation in animals and humans has been shown to increase bone mineral density and improve bone strength.
In the skin, silicon is required for synthesis and cross-linking of collagen fibres, which is important for improving skin strength and elasticity and cross-linking of glycosaminoglycans, which attracts and maintains water in the skin. Silicon helps to slow skin aging, and also brings strength and resistance to hair and nails.
