POSITIVE POWER NUTRITION: SUPER SILICA

So what is Silica?

Silica is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in soil. As a component of a supplement, it is usually found in soils rich in sandstone and quartz. Silicon, the second most abundant element on the planet, is usually seen in the form of Silica (a compound of silicon and oxygen).

What are the benefits of silica?

A proper silica intake can help restore hair density and color, strengthen nails and reduces wrinkles. Another benefit of silica, is that it can help improve conditions such as psoriasis and eczema form the inside out. It can also help rebuild damaged skin. Silica, in a nutshell, is a natural mineral that supports the repairing of nails, hair, damaged skins, etc. Not unlike a natural aesthetician, it can be your own natural beautician!

What are the risks of maintaining a low level of Silica?

According to an article by ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) Americans spent almost 11 billion dollars on cosmetics procedure in 2012. Of that, $2 billion was spent on injectable procedures; 1.8 billions on skin rejuvenation procedures, and about 42 million in laser treatment for veins conditions. Of course we have to keep in mind the other expenses not included: facility fees, anesthesia, medical tests for clearance, post and pre-surgery follow-ups, prescriptions, time, etc. (ASAPS, 2014)

So the question lie, in this hard economy, why not take a much inexpensive and natural approach for beauty treatments? Instead of so many surgical procedures, we might benefit from natural supplements that can aid our body in its natural repairing process.

There are many benefits to a proper silica intake. For example:

1. Your body naturally uses silica to create lattice (made of collagen) that gives bones their shape, strength and flexibility. Collagen is like a Super glue that holds our body together (in our endless fight against the natural gravity that comes with aging ^.^) and is made up largely of silica. Silica is also important for teeth enamel to form and be maintained, especially as we age.

2. Ligament tendons, muscles and cartilage can shrink, become brittle and/or even lose flexibility if we do not maintain a proper silica intake. Usually a way to detect a low essential nutrients is through pain signals that warn of the lack.

3. Peristaltic action in our bodies (involuntary and automatic expansion and contraction) in the arteries and digestive tract is completely dependent on organ flexibility; they can benefit from a sufficient silica intake can help regain flexibility and restore proper movement.

4. Individuals should always consult with their healthcare professionals for Individual guidance for specific healthcare concerns. Ask your doctor, if taking any other pill for the heart or for questions.

So in a nutshell, what are the main function Silica has in my body?

Silica‘s main functions are: flexibility, Structure, Cleansing, and energizing.

So who should take Silica?

Technically Silica can benefit everyone, but some individuals with higher deficiency or problems may benefit more. Consult your primary healthcare practitioner for any questions.

What is a proper dosage of Silica?

In today’s society, even individuals who follow a healthy balanced diet, may not get as much Silica as they may need. Today’s produce contain a much lower level of Silica compared to what they might have had in the past. This is mainly because (1) new irrigations systems have moved, this causes only a minimum of silt (broken down silica) to be absorbed by the plants we eat. (2) Because of the toxins in the air, water and food, much more silica is needed to remove these toxins from our bodies.

Why is Positive Power Nutrition Super SilicaTM better than other Silica products?

It is not that it is the BEST out there. However Positive Power Super Silica does contain a few superior qualities compared to others. For example:

1. Every bottle is energized with Cell PowerÒ, which eases the opening of the cell’s membrane in your body, and hence is transported faster.

2. Silica uses IONIC silic, which means that the size of the silicon molecule is broken down into smaller pieces before digestion, and hence better absorption.

3. Silica has approximately a 90% absorption, compared to other silica products which can 10-15% absorption and horsetail vegetable silica has about 1.5-5%.

NOT a solution, but instead a Helping Hand

No supplement guarantees a “fix” or a 100% solution. As we age is only normal that deficiency occurs, by providing our body with a proper intake of silica (or any other supplement really), we take an action aiding our body in deficiencies that occur not only normal as we age, but lifestyle and/or environmental changes. The dosage and time of Silica can vary with specific health conditions. There are some precautions to take, as with any other supplement, medicine or treatment.

1. First and always make sure to contact your doctor with any questions and/or health concerns.

2. When deficiencies are present, our body preserves silica amounts for the most vital organs and body functions and can take silica away from less crucial body functions. This means, that a change or benefit will take time to be present depending on the current health condition and current silica amount of the individual.

3. Healing usually occurs top-down and from inside out.

4. Silica intake may require at least 30 days of supplementation at therapeutic dosage of 60 drops of Super Silica in 60 ounces of water per day. (PPN, 2014) Virtually speaking for a deficiency of -6 (refer to chart above) it can take approximately 6 months to see any results.
