I knew that silica was important for bone and tooth health because research has shown that tiny particles of silica can be used to repair damaged teeth and reduce sensitivity. But until I did further research, I didn’t realize that it also helps with wound healing, builds connective tissue, supports cardiovascular health, and revitalizes skin, hair, and nails!
In addition to collagen and osteoblasts, silicon is also found in the thymus, liver, blood, heart, muscles and skin.
However, the silica content of these tissues decreases with increasing age or when these tissues become diseased.
For another problem, I think silica is fantastic: Sometimes I get pain in my thumb joint. Especially after several hours of manual work – for example when building a fence or shoveling manure. Some might think it was arthritis, but my gut told me it was because I was deficient in a mineral – that I needed more because of my workload. That’s when I started researching and when I came across silica, my lights went out.
So when I take this QuikPlus Silica, the pain and pain in my thumb joint gets relieved within an hour or so. When I take it before doing heavy work, I feel no muscle soreness, weakness or pain at all. This is groundbreaking because sometimes my thumb joint hurt so much that it was painful to lift a glass of water! And because the absorption of atom-sized minerals occurs so quickly (directly into cell channels, no digestion required), I felt the difference very quickly.
Speaking of thumb pain, check out this similar feedback I recently received from a reader:
“I LOVE this silica. I have a thumb that regularly gets sprained when I overwork it in the garden. When that happens, I wear a thumb brace. I read Jini’s similar experience and tried it and it works almost immediately, it’s amazing. I’ve already reordered. I still take a spritz of it every day and I think it’s steadily getting better with my thumb brace. It’s amazing how quickly it works. -CH”
Note: A good dose of this silica is included in the QuikPlus Bone Matrix mixture. However, if you suffer from joint pain, brittle nails, thin hair, etc., you should also consider additional supplementation. I add it to my herbal tea, shake, Emergen-C, or water bottle.
Can I use QuikPlus Minerals with Absorb Plus?
Yes! Keep in mind that all of the minerals and vitamins in Absorb Plus are formulated so that someone can take a maximum of 12 servings per day. So to get a daily therapeutic dose you would need to consume five shakes per day. Remember that it was designed to be consumed as an elemental, sole source of nutrition.
So although Absorb Plus contains some silica, you can definitely add more to meet your needs.
QuikPlus minerals can be added to any shake or smoothie, juice, tea, soup and water.
QuikPlus Silica atom-sized, ionic liquid mineral has the most ideal size/shape for the absorption of all mineral forms as it does not need to be digested. Like all QuikPlus minerals, QP Silica can be absorbed simply by holding it in the mouth; Absorption through the mucous membrane tissue.
Silica is an important mineral for the health of skin, hair, joints, cartilage and bones.
Dosage: 30 drops per day in 6-8 ounces (or 1 cup) of water, juice, soup, tea, shake or smoothie.
Gentle on the intestines: This atom-sized silica does not need to be digested as its nano size (less than 250 picometers) allows it to be absorbed directly into your cells.
