Alta Silica Horsetail herb has been in our line for over 30 years. The founder of our company, Richard Barmakian, ND.went to Paris, France in 192 to sdudy with Professor Louis C. Kervan, The author of the book "Biological Transmutations", and a member of the New Your Academy of Science. Barmakian based Alta Silica Horsetail herb on the aqueous extract of equisetum arvense, because of his studies with Kervan.
Our Alta Silica is not a Silica Extract, it is a Horsetail Extract that containes silica. The silica naturally occurring in horsetail is bound to the natural organic chemicals in the horsetail plant. Please be aware that this has nothing to do with inorganic silica that is basically just powdered rock and is very difficult for the body to absorb.
There are many inferior quality Horsetail Extracts on the market today that have been spiked with powdered silica to artificially raie the silica content. This is easily and cheaply done. The silica added in this way is the same inorganic silica that the body can not absorb.
Alta Silica is made from horsetail by means of a special extraction process done under the guidelines that were provided to Dr. Barmakian by Professor Louis Kervran. The soluble/collodial chelated Silica plus the associated bioflavonoids are separated from the inorganic Quartz form of Silica and concentrated to give the final highest potency Equisetum/Silica product possible. During this aqueous extract process the enzyme that can lead to thiamine deficiency is leached out of the product making it safe and nontoxic.
Silicon has been recognized as an essential trace element for connective tissue in bone and cartilage. An important study conducted at the School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) shows that silicon-supplemented bones have a 100 percent increase in collagen when compared with low-silicon bones. The end result is more and faster bone growth in the presence of silicon.
As we age the levels of Silica decline in the body. In our youth our tissues absorb and maintain higher levels of silica as shown by soft supple skin and our bodies are more resilient and flexible.
Silca is vital to the beauty of a women. As on ages, collagen is lost, thus collagen could be called a youth factor. One of the main components of collagen is Silica. Silica enhances skin by keeping it youthful and soft. It enhances nails by helping them to grow strong and healthy and Silica also nutritionally supports healthy hair.
