Flora - Vegetal Silica - 180 Capsules

Flora - Vegetal Silica - 180 Capsules Flora's premium Vegetal Silica is prepared using a unique aqueous extraction method developed and patented by Dr. Louis Kervran. This method ensures the vegetal silica is bonded or "chelated" to a group of water-soluble bioflavonoids. Only this method offers a safe and highly bioavailable form of silica that is easily assimilated by the body. Vegetal Silica helps maintain strong, healthy hair and nails plus promotes soft, supple skin.Nature's Beauty NutrientSilica is a trace mineral required for the formation of healthy connective tissues, skin, bones, hair, and nails. Silica is essential for collagen formation and regulates calcium depostition into bones. Unfortunately, many of the foods rich in silica lose their valuable silica content due to over-refining and processing. Supplementing with Flora's Vegetal Silica helps provide your body with the building blocks it needs to restore natural beauty and promote long-term health.The Science Behind Flora's Vegetal SilicaFlora's Vegetal Silica is a water soluble horestail extract in the form of highly bioavailable orthosilicic acid. Dr. Louis Kervran, Professor Emeritus at the University of Paris, devised an aqueous extraction process, whereby the organic vegetal silica is extracted from organic Spring Horsetail using water instead of chemical solvents. This gentle extraction process not only preserves the bioflavonoids necessary for the absorption of silica, but it also ensures the retention of naturally occurring minerals necessary for optimal health including boron, calcium, and manganese. Are You Getting Enough Silica?For too many people the answer is no, and the reason is the over-refining and processing of our grains and cereals. With the removal of their outer casing, valuable silica is lost. Without silica the skin loses elasticity and hair and nails become brittle. Can this be prevented? Yes, the best way is to change the diet, but it takes time to honor that commitment.
