General well-being Silicon is a very important mineral, and although it makes up about 90% of our planet Earth in the form of granite, quartz, sand, and other compounds, in the human body it is present as a trace element (about 15 micrograms/100 ml of our fluids), more in children, less as age advances. In fact, silicon in humans unfortunately begins to decrease starting at the age of ten. Benefits of colloidal silicon: ■ Promotes the activity of lymph nodes, spleen, and lungs. ■ Plays a central role in improving the regeneration and elasticity of blood vessels. ■ Effective against cerebral atony, helps protect against Alzheimer's disease.
