R-K9 Silicium
Regular price €40,00R-K9 SILICIUM - Silicium is the second most
common element in the world (making up
27%of the Earths crust). It is an elementary
building block in all rocks and minerals, but it is
also an important nutrient for humans and
animals. The two main benefits of silicium are
skin health and bone health. Focusing on bone
health for a moment, it is important to note that
silicium is needed to synthesize collagen. It
actually has a dual function: it preserves the
structure of connective tissue fibers and
stimulates cell division for the production of
new connective tissues. This means it is very
important for the bones, tendons, cartilage,
ligaments, as well as other connective tissues.
What makes it so important? Animals and humans are born with plenty of silicium in their bodies, but as they get older, the concentration of silicium decreases. That is why older horses suffer more from osteoarthritis. The aim is, therefore, to bring silicium levels back up. This can be done by giving horses R-Silicium. What distinguishes this silicium from others on the market? Many use the mineral silicium of which only 0-1% of it can be absorbed by the body. However, R-Silicium is a bio-activated monomer that has been rendered completely stable in a patented process. It has an absorption rate of 21-47 %which is the highest available on the market.
