Grandma's Silicon Level Guide


Silicon is necessary for the formation of collagen for bones and connective tissue, for healthy nails, skin, and hair, and for calcium absorption in the early stages of bone formation.

This mineral is needed to maintain flexible arteries and plays a major role in preventing cardiovascular disease.

Silicon counteracts the effects of aluminum on the body, and is important in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis. It stimulates the immune system and inhibits the aging process in tissues. Silicon levels decrease with aging, so elderly people need larger amounts.
