Silicol Gel & Digestive Disorders: Silicol Gel is a colloidal solution of highly dispersible silicic acid, & is easily absorbed by the body. Silicol Gel has both absorbent & adsorbent properties, meaning it can coat the lining of the digestive tract as well as binding & absorbing toxins, bacteria & irritants from food, which are then safely & naturally removed. Silicol Gel also protects the intestine wall. A single tablespoonful taken three times a day has been shown in clinical trials to normalise the function of the stomach & bowel quickly & without side effects. Silicol Gel & Skin, Hair & Nails: The highest concentrations of silicic acid in the body are found in the connective tissue of the skin, hair & nails. Silicic acid helps to prevent weakness in the connective tissues. These body tissues consist mainly of Glucosaminoglycans & their compounds with protein constituents. These bodily substances give the connective tissue its structure. The glycosaminoglycans can store silicic acid & thereby further strengthen the tissue, giving the skin its suppleness & elasticity. Silicic acid has therefore an important function in the metabolism of the body. It supports the structural growth of the connective tissue, increases the bone mineralisation, stores calcium in the bones & supports & enhances the regeneration of skin, hair & nails. As we age, the amount of silicic acid in the skin depletes & the skin begins to slack & wrinkle. Clinical trials have shown that a tablespoon a day of Silicol Gel could help hold back the premature aging process whilst improving the overall condition of the skin, hair & nails.
