Organic Silica - Organic Sillicium

Sillicium is a structural element of the connective tissue. It regulates and normalizes cellular metabolism and cellular division. Studies performed using fibroblast cultures have demonstrated that silanols (groups of hydrogen and sillicium compounds, similar to the hydrocarbides) provoke the formation of bridges between the hydroxylated amino acids of the elastic fibres and
collagen fibres protecting them from non-enzymatic glycolysation and decreasing their degradation rate. Sillicum acts as a coenzyme during interstitial matrix macromolecule synthesis
and reorganizes structural glycoproteins, as well as proteoglycans of the ground substance, by stimulating polar amino acid grouping and normalizing hydrophilic capacity. In the microcirculation, it modifies venous capillary and lymphatic permeability and, in the fatty tissue it stimulates cAMP synthesis as well as triglyceride hydrolysis, probably by activating
adenyl cyclase in the cellular membrane.
