Ingredients explained
Elemental silicon (from silica, red algae Lithothamnion corallioides)
Silicon participates in connective tissue and mineral matrix formation by supporting collagen cross-linking and helping the normal deposition of minerals in bone.
Caution: Take with food to reduce stomach discomfort; consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
Calcium
Calcium is a structural mineral that contributes to the mineral density of bones and supports normal muscle and nerve function.
Caution: Separate from high‑iron supplements if possible because calcium can reduce iron absorption.
How they work together
Elemental silicon supports the organic matrix of bone and connective tissues, while calcium provides the mineral component that hardens bone. Together they address both the collagen framework and mineral deposition steps involved in bone strength.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare practitioner before use. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare practitioner if any adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People sensitive to calcium or advised to limit calcium intake may want to review this with a healthcare provider, as each serving provides 200 mg of calcium.
Storage: Store at room temperature.
