Silicon, right behind oxygen, is the second richest element in nature and the third the most abundantly occurring trace element in the organism. Despite such frequent occurrence of silicon in nature, its health properties are very often ignored.
Precise, biochemical or physiological functions of silicon are unfortunately unknown, however, the interest in potential pro-health effects of this element is increasing. It was noted in literature that this element may have influence on the proper structure of nails, hair and skin, the synthesis of collagen, bone mineralization, strengthening of the vascular system and it may be engaged in the efficiency of the immune system.
When it comes to skin, the ability of silicon to activate hydroxyl enzymes and optimize the synthesis of collagen is very important, which consequently positively influences firmness and elasticity of skin and supports would healing. The benefits resulting from the increased content of silicon in hair are i.a. reduction of hair loss and the improvement of its gloss.
