Research Backs It Up

Organic vegetal silica has received recognition in Canada for its mild diuretic properties. However, research from other parts of the world shows that the scope of effectiveness of organic vegetal silica goes much further. It must be added that this research has yet to be officially accepted in Canada. Here is what has been found:

• Researchers Sullivan and Volcani (USA) at Columbia University (1973) concluded that silica is an essential nutrient.
  
• Dr. C. L. Kervran (France) found silica to have a direct relationship with the absorption of all minerals, especially calcium.
  
• Holt and Osborne (USA) demonstrated in their research the essential role silica has in maintaining supple skin.
  
• Drs. Kervran and Monceaux (France) found that with silica supplementation fragile nails became normal in a relatively short time period.
