Silica is a naturally occurring mineral found in the Earth’s crust.
In recent years, silica has garnered attention for its potential health benefits. Some studies have suggested that silica may play a role in supporting bone health and connective tissue, as well as promoting hydration, healthy hair, skin, and nails. Silica is also being investigated for its potential to support cardiovascular health and immune function. Silica can aid the removal of aluminium and mercury (heavy metal toxins) from the body. However, more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind these potential benefits.
You can incorporate silica into your nutrition by consuming foods such as green beans, garbanzo beans, strawberries, cucumbers, and oats. Additionally, drinking mineral water with high silica content can also be a source of silica in your diet.
Low levels can result in skin issues, muscle injury and reduced immunity.
It’s important to note that the oral intake of silica is considered safe, there are some forms of silica that can pose health risks if inhaled. Crystalline silica, which is commonly found in dust generated by industrial cutting (eg kitchen work tops), can cause respiratory issues and other health problems.
