Ingredients explained
Elemental silicon (from silica, red algae Lithothamnion corallioides)
Silicon participates in connective tissue and mineral matrix formation by interacting with collagen and glycosaminoglycan pathways, which may support structural integrity of bones and skin.
Caution: Start with the suggested amount and take with food to minimise stomach discomfort; those with kidney concerns or on restricted mineral diets should consult a professional due to mineral balance considerations.
Calcium
Calcium contributes to bone mineral structure and cellular signalling by providing ions necessary for bone matrix formation and muscle and nerve function.
Caution: Avoid combining high doses with iron or certain medications at the same time as it may reduce absorption; those prone to kidney stones should monitor total calcium intake.
How they work together
Elemental silicon is studied for roles in collagen and matrix formation, while calcium provides the mineral building blocks for bone. Together they address both the organic framework and mineral density components of skeletal tissue.
