Silicon plays a major physiological role in the body; it is an essential element of living matter along with carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Omnipresent in our tissues, it is concentrated in bones, joint cartilage, muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, hair, nails, and arterial walls. So we need silicon to live, but as we age the concentration of silicon in our body decreases. This is why our skin wrinkles, we lose our hair, our arteries become blocked, our muscles lose their tone and above all our bones become fragile (osteoporosis), our cartilage crumbles and disintegrates (osteoarthritis). There are many reasons for us to regularly take a course of plant-based and energized colloidal organic silicon, preferably four times a year, at each change of season, because silicon is ubiquitous, present in all the cells of the human body, of which it is a major structuring element.Colloidal Silicon, a Natural Alternative to Anti-Inflammatories Author: Jean-Patrick Bonnardel Published by Dangles Number of Pages: 208
