Enerex Bamboo Silica - As the second most abundant element on Earth after oxygen, Silica is essential for a variety of human functions, and for optimal growth and development. Bamboo Silica is an excellent source of Silica, which is essential for maintaining strength and elasticity in body tissues such as tendons, cartilage, arteries and skin. Silica is also necessary for bone calcification and strengthening, and a regular supply of silica in the diet has proven effective in slowing the aging process by helping reduce bone loss, lubricating dry and wrinkled skin, strengthening teeth and gums, and slowing hair loss. To increase the effectiveness of Bamboo Silica, Enerex added 200 mg of Calcium citrate to the formula. Calcium absorption in the bones and other areas is enhanced by the presence of Silicon, and like Calcium, Silicon is involved in normal bone development. Like Silicon, a deficiency of Calcium may also speed the skin’s aging.
