Ifigen Silicon (Si) Trace Elements 150Ml.

Silicon is involved in the synthesis of collagen and elastin (connective tissue) and maintains its strength and optimal mineralisation. Silicon determines the formation and structure of bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. Thus, an adequate supply of silicon ensures good osteoarticular health, strengthens joints and prevents their degeneration, as well as making bones stronger and more flexible by decreasing their porosity and increasing the fixation of minerals in them. It is now known that silicon protects the arteries in various ways (the aorta is the part of the body where the greatest quantities of silicon are concentrated). For example, it gives consistency to the elastic tissue of the artery, increasing its flexibility, makes it impermeable to lipids and calcium deposits, and maintains the enzymatic integrity that protects arterial tissue from fatty deposits. It can therefore be said that this mineral is a vascular protector which also helps to reduce cholesterol levels and combat hypertension.
