R-Silicium for bones, tendons and skin

Silicon is the second most abundant element on earth and an important nutrient for humans and animals. It plays a role in healthy skin and healthy bones.

Why silicon?

Silicon is needed to produce collagen and has a dual function: it helps maintain the structure of connective tissue fibres and stimulates cell division to produce new connective tissue. This makes it important for bones, tendons, cartilage and ligaments.

Animals are born with a lot of silicon in their bodies, but levels drop with age. That is why older horses more often have joint complaints. R-Silicium helps top up silicon levels again.

The difference

Many supplements use mineral silicon, of which only 0 to 1% is absorbed. R-Silicium contains monomeric silicon that has been made fully stable through a patented process, with an absorption rate of 21 to 47%: one of the highest on the market.
