By the way: the English word for silicon is “silicon”. The “Silicon Valley” therefore takes its name from rocks rich in silicon. Many people mistakenly translate “silicon” as “silicone”, which can lead to misunderstandings. You know better now.
Unfortunately, the subject of silicon has long received little attention from the scientific community. As a result, many questions have not yet been fully clarified. Although there are a lot of very promising studies, there is still a need for research in many areas. We are therefore keeping a close eye on developments in scientific research and are also actively involved in research ourselves. For example, we have developed the unique SAM technology with a top-class team of chemists, biologists, doctors, alternative practitioners and engineers. SAM stands for Surface-Activated-Minerals, i.e. surface-activated minerals. This breaks down silicon and activates the surface, demonstrably increasing bioavailability considerably.
Silicon has mainly been used in the pharmaceutical industry as an important excipient. It is a component of many tablets, capsules, ointments and gels. It is also used as an anti-caking agent in foods. If you read the designation E551 on a food, you know that silicon is used here. However, these are forms that the body can hardly absorb and utilize.
Did you know, for example,
The right form of silicon is crucial!
Fat-soluble formulations of silicon (e.g. in combination with MCT oil) apparently have advantages over water-soluble formulations. This was shown in a study (ex Bergna 2006 and literature cited there). The same study describes a fixation of bacteria and an affinity to many bacterial strains. Further applications have been derived from this and investigated.
