ORIGIN
Silicon, the 2nd most abundant element on Earth
Different forms of silicon exist, which dictate its biological properties:
- Mineral form (insoluble): quartz, emerald, etc. (in nature)
- Active form (water soluble): orthosilicic acid and monomethylsilanetriol
that can be assimilated by the body and are biologically active

BIOAVAILABILITY
An optimal and clinically proven bioavailability
A clinical trial performed on 32 volunteers aged 19-40 years showed that the orthosilicic acid (OSA) and monomethylsilanetriol (MMST) forms have the optimal bioavailability1.
The chemistry of these forms explains this result. OSA and MMST are monomeric, while the other forms show varying degrees of polymerization.
