The best documented function of silicon is its actions in facilitating bone calcification and mineralization. Inadequate silicon intake has been associated with skeletal abnormalities including developmental deformity; weak, brittle nails and hair; thinning capillaries and arteries. Weak, bones, joints and connective tissue are major contributing factors to chronic musculoskeletal pain and disease. Supplemental silicon may be able to retard these age-related degenerative changes. Jarrow Formulas' BioSil is a 2% silicon solution in the form of stabilized Orthosilicic Acid. Jarrow's patented technology has triumphed over silicon's absorption problems. Because BioSil is a high silicon concentrate, introducing BioSil into the stomach increases the Orthosilicic Acid concentration by a factor of 20,000. When calves had their dietary silicon intake increased by 5% with BioSil, their silicon blood levels increased 70% compared to control animals. The study also showed a 12% higher collagen concentration in the skin of the BioSil-supplemented animals compared to the control animals. This increase in collagen formation has important implications for bones and joints since collagen is the major fibrous protein in these tissue. BioSil is the only silicon product with scientific proof of absorbability and effectiveness.
