Silicon is a trace element naturally present in the human body, particularly in bones, cartilage, skin, hair and nails. With age, silicon reserves gradually decline, which can contribute to a loss of joint suppleness and tissue slackening. Supplementing with liquid organic silicon like Silicium G7 Original delivers this trace element in a form directly assimilable by the body, with no complex digestive transformation needed.

Silicon is an important structural component of joint cartilage, involved in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and type II collagen, two fundamental elements of the cartilage matrix. By contributing to the maintenance of quality cartilage tissue, organic silicon supports joint comfort. Silicium G7 Original is particularly popular with active people, athletes and anyone wishing to preserve joint suppleness over the years.

Connective tissue forms the supporting framework of the entire body. Silicon plays a role in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, two structural proteins essential to tissue cohesion and elasticity. By supporting the production of these proteins, organic silicon contributes to maintaining the integrity of connective tissue as a whole, including tendons, ligaments and vascular walls. Keratin, the main protein in hair and nails, as well as the collagen and elastin present in skin, all contain silicon in their structure — supplementation may contribute to strong hair, resilient nails and firm, elastic skin.

Recommended dose is 30ml a day, one measuring cap, neat or diluted in a glass of water. It’s best taken in the morning on an empty stomach to optimise assimilation. For those wanting a stronger start, the dose can be increased to 60ml a day for the first two weeks, then reduced to 30ml a day for the rest of the course. A 1-litre bottle covers around a month at 30ml daily. After opening, store in the refrigerator and use within 30 days.

Food supplement. Not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of children. If in doubt about compatibility with ongoing treatment, seek advice from a healthcare professional.

How long does a 1-litre bottle of Silicium G7 Original last?

At the standard dose of 30ml a day, a 1-litre bottle provides around 33 days, a full month. If the dose is increased to 60ml a day at the start of the course, the bottle will last around two and a half weeks. It’s advisable to plan for at least two to three bottles for a complete three-month course.

Does Silicium G7 Original have a particular taste?

It has a neutral to slightly mineral taste. Most users take it neat without difficulty; those who prefer to soften the mineral note can dilute the daily dose in a glass of water or fruit juice, with no change in effectiveness.
