Biosil
Each capsule of patented BioSil™ contains 5 mg of silicon as stabilized orthosilicic acid. BioSil's active silicon is an essential partner of calcium for bones, glucosamine for joints, and antioxidants for healthier arteries and cardiovascular function.
The Importance of Silicon
Silicon is a trace mineral required for the formation of healthy connective tissue, bone, skin, hair and nails. Silicon is essential for collagen formation, healthy arteries and regulates calcium deposition in bones.
Absorption is Key
Dietary sources of silicon such as those found in food, horsetail and colloidal gel (silica) products are very poorly absorbed because of their insoluble, polymerized forms. For absorption to occur, dietary silicon must be first converted to Orthosilicic Acid (monomeric silicic acid), the bioavailable form found in BioSil™.
Why is BioSil™ Different?
BioSil™ (Si[OH]4) is 20,000 times more soluble than silica (SiO2 - found in horsetail and colloidal gels) and 2.5 times more bioavailable than other forms of silicon!
The superiority of silicon as concentrated, choline-stabilized orthosilic acid from BioSil™ has been proven in a peer reviewed scientific study comparing three different forms of silicon. The results of the comparative, cross-over, double-blind clinical trial demonstrated that the stabilized monomeric form of silicon (stabilized orthosilicic acid – as found in BioSil™) is far superior to colloidal silica and horsetail extract. In fact, of the three experimental groups, only BioSil™ offered a bioavailable source of silicon; the other forms of silicon (horsetail and colloidal gel) were no better than placebo.

| Mineral amounts are elemental. Suggested Usage: As a dietary supplement, take 1 to 6 capsules per day with meals, preferably dividing the number of capsules equally with each meal to facilitate maximum absorption, or as directed by your qualified health consultant. HEALTH CLAIM: Regular, weight-bearing exercise and a healthy diet with adequate calcium, including from BONE UP™ helps teen and young adult women build bone mass and maintain bone health and may reduce their risk of osteoporosis later in life. Daily calcium intake above 2,000 mg. is not likely to provide additional benefit. Adequate calcium intake is also linked to reduced osteoporosis by slowing bone loss in older men and women.
