Silica is an important trace mineral that provides strength and flexibility to the connective tissues of your body — cartilage, tendons, skin, bone, teeth, hair, and blood vessels. Silica is essential in the formation of collagen, the most abundant protein found in your body.

A: What are the main differences between the 3 Silica supplements?
Q: OK, I will describe each supplement for you. G5 Siliplant…contains natural organic silica, of mixed mineral and vegetable origin. The formula of Siliplant is based on orthosilicic acid, stabilised by an organic complex to prevent the molecule’s degradation. This boosts its assimilation by our bodies and speeds-up results, as proven by scientific research. The ingredients include: Silicic acid, Purified water, Horsetail extract and Rosemary. Application: joints, bones, hair, skin & nails and the elimination of aluminium.
Silicium G5 Original… is Dr. Loïc Le Ribault’s organic silica. With maximum assimilation according to comparative scientific trials, it delivers silica in a monomeric form, which means that it is possible to maintain the molecule, very unstable in itself, active and without degradation, which multiplies its efficacy. In 1994, Le Ribault managed to stabilise organic silica, applied until then only with topical pads, making its oral intake possible. Its regenerative and depurative properties have been confirmed in recent trials, with a reduction of heavy metals and improvement of the skin as a result. The ingredients include: Monomethylsilanotriol, Purified water and Sodium Benzoate. Application: Joints & bones, Autoimmune Issues, depurative and regenerating.
Sport Recovery…is recommended for sportswomen and men. This supplement is formulated with glycine and organic silica, both known for playing an important role in reinforcing tissue. It is advised to fight joint wear. Glycine plays a crucial role in collagen, which is the structure of joints and bones. The ingredients feature: Silicic acid & Glycine, Purified water, Equisetum Arvense and Rosmarinic acid. Application: Recovery from sports.
Q: Does Silica rebuild cartilage?
A: As a source of Organic Silica, which acts in synergy with magnesium and vitamin C, it helps regenerate and strengthen cartilage and improves joint maintenance.
Q: Can Silica supplements be harmful?
A: Silica is considered safe for healthy people. However, if you decide to get your Silica from horsetail herb supplements, be aware that this is not a herb to be used continuously on a long-term basis as it may cause stomach upsets.
Q: What exactly is Organic Silica?
A: Organic Silica is an essential trace element and, therefore, fundamental to our health and wellbeing. It is a mineral that, among other properties, can naturally generate collagen without the need for additional ingestion. Collagen plays a crucial role in good condition of connective tissue, achieving a regenerative action that helps keep the skin looking youthful and contributing to the proper functioning of bones and joints. Organic Silica is found in the deep structures of the body, where cells form bones and connective tissue, two essential organs for the functioning of our vital functions.
