ESSENTIAL SILICA! SILICA IS the combination of the two most common elements on Earth: oxygen and silicon. It plays a vital role in collagen formation. Collagen is the tough fibrous material that holds us together, and is a major component of everything from our bones to our skin. One physical definition of aging is the inability to reproduce collagen the way our bodies could in our youth. As we age, our levels of collagen-forming silica decline. But with high quality silica supplementation, we can help maintain our youthful connective tissues, bones, gums, nails, skin, hair, and much more. Don’t wait.
