Soluble silica (orthosilicic acid) and Diatomaceous Earth
- Soluble silica (orthosilicic acid). Orthosilicic acid is the bioavailable form of silicon. A lot of silicon in the connective tissues of the body, with smaller concentrations found in the liver, heart, lungs, and muscles.
- Biological and therapeutic effects of ortho-silicic acid and some ortho-silicic acid-releasing compounds: New perspectives for therapy. Moreover, the ortho-silicic acid (H4SiO4), as a major form of bioavailable silicon for both humans and animals, has not been given adequate attention so far.
- Ibid. Silicon has already been associated with bone mineralization, collagen synthesis, skin, hair and nails health atherosclerosis, Alzheimer disease, immune system enhancement, and with some other disorders or pharmacological effects.
- Ibid. Beside the ortho-silicic acid and its stabilized formulations such as choline chloride-stabilized ortho-silicic acid and sodium or potassium silicates (e.g. M2SiO3; M= Na,K), the most important sources that release ortho-silicic acid as a bioavailable form of silicon are: colloidal silicic acid (hydrated silica gel), silica gel (amorphous silicon dioxide), and zeolites. Although all these compounds are characterized by substantial water insolubility, they release small, but significant, equilibrium concentration of ortho-silicic acid (H4SiO4) in contact with water and physiological fluids.
- Ibid. Generally, silicon is abundantly present in foods derived from plants such as: cereals, oats, barley, white wheat flour, and polished rice. ... Indeed, the major sources of silicon in the typical Western hemisphere diet comes from cereals (30%), followed by fruits, beverages and vegetables, which altogether comprise around 75% of total silicon intake [20]. Even though plant food contains high levels of silicon, its bioavailability from these sources is questionable, due to poor solubility of actual silicon forms present in these foods.
- Ibid. Absorption studies indicate that the ortho-silicic acid is a main readily bioavailable source of silicon for humans, whereas its higher polymers are not of significant absorbability.
- Ibid. the highest silicon concentration has been measured in connective tissues, especially in the aorta, tracheas, bone, and skin. Low levels of silicon in the form of ortho-silicic acid [42-44] may be found in liver, heart, muscle, and lung [45]. It is therefore plausible to assume that observed decrease of silicon concentration in the ageing population may be linked to several degenerative disorders, including atherosclerosis. Supplementation of the regular diet with bioavailable forms of silicon may therefore have a therapeutic potential including prevention of degenerative processes. Several experiments have already confirmed this hypothesis.
- (duplicate site from above) Biological and therapeutic effects of ortho-silicic acid and some ortho-silicic acid-releasing compounds: New perspectives for therapy. Published 1/8/2013. Excellent scientific paper. Absorption studies indicate that the ortho-silicic acid is a main readily bioavailable source of silicon for humans, whereas its higher polymers are not of significant absorbability. ... Besides the ortho-silicic acid, water soluble silicates are bioavailable silicon forms as well. For instance, pharmaceutically acceptable alkali metals silicates (M2SiO3; M= Na, K) in adequately diluted aqueous solutions, release ortho-silicic acid (H4SiO4) upon contact with stomach hydrochloric acid (HCl). ... Importantly, highly bioavailable silicon from ch-OSA did not altered calcium, phosphorus and magnesium levels in blood. ... Biological importance of silicon might be analysed in the context of its bio-distribution in the body. For example, the highest silicon concentration has been measured in connective tissues, especially in the aorta, tracheas, bone, and skin.
- Choline-stabilized Orthosilicic acid (on Amazon). Search for a pharmaceutical grade supplement containing orthosilicic acid. However, they tend to only have 5 mg per capsule/tablet. Not much. ... The European Food Safety Authority estimated the typical dietary intake of silicon to be 20-50 mg/day, corresponding to 0.3-0.8 mg silicon/kg bw/day for a 60 kg person, and concluded that these intakes are unlikely to cause adverse effects.
- Hydrated silica. Hydrated silica is a form of silicon dioxide, which has a variable amount of water in the formula. When dissolved in water it is usually known as silicic acid. It is found in nature, as opal (which has been mined as a gemstone for centuries), and in the cell walls of diatoms. ... Diatomaceous earth, originally mined as "tooth powder" is a naturally occurring hydrated silica.

RESTORE supplement (i.e. lignite extract)
- RESTORE supplement is 99%+ Terrahydrite which is stabilized lignite extract. What is lignite extract? Lignite extract comes from decomposed plants, which break down peat into lignite. Supposedly, they get their lignite from somewhere in the southwest United States in some fossilized region, 8 feet under. This lignite is sterilized and hydrolized with purified water (deionized reverse osmosis water). Additionally, it has less than 1% mineral amino acid complexes. You are basically drinking dirt which is rich in carbon. Indeed, carbon is the key factor or ingredient that makes this product work (see next note).
- From their website: Because the trace minerals and amino acids in RESTORE are naturally occurring in the humic substances and other soil-derived ingredients, and because they comprise less than 1% of the total formula, we have eliminated the listing of individual trace minerals. They are neither a significant dietary source of minerals, nor are they present in sufficient quantity to be a factor for individuals sensitive to certain minerals. For any trace mineral in RESTORE, there are common foods containing much higher concentrations. All are present in few parts per million, about the concentration you would find in a sweet potato skin. Mass spectroscopy shows our US source of the primary soil-derived active ingredient to be a very pure source of the carbon-based bacterial metabolites that, combined with our other soil-derived ingredients, constitute the Terrahydrite active ingredient. RESTORE is free of the heavy metals that are of common concern in mineral supplements.

Bentonite Clay
- Bentonite is approximately 20% aluminosilicate (Alumina). I need to find out if this gets absorbed in the gut or not. Also, all bentonite clay will have some lead.
- Bentonite (Wikipedia). Bentonite is an absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite. The different types of bentonite are each named after the respective dominant element, such as potassium (K), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), and aluminium (Al).
- The Difference Between DE and Bentonite Clay. The two most common types of bentonite clay are calcium bentonite and sodium bentonite. The calcium bentonite is the one to use over the sodium bentonite. Mix with water and let stand several hours so the clay can absorb the water. Drink the top half (clearer) water. The FDA has recently warned consumers to not use a certain brand of bentonite clay because of the raised levels of lead it contains. So if you decide to consume bentonite clay, be sure to do your research and find a reputable brand.
