Result Equine R-Silicium

Silicon is the second most abundant element worldwide (it makes up 27% of the earth’s crust). It is a fundamental building block of all minerals and rocks, but it is also an important nutrient for both humans and animals. Silicon has two key functions: skin health and bone health. Focusing on bone health, it is important to mention that silicon stimulates collagen production. It has a dual purpose: it helps maintain the structure of connective tissue fibres and also stimulates cell division for the formation of new connective tissue. It is therefore essential for everything related to bones, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, and more.

Why is it so important? Animals (and humans) are born with high levels of silicon in the body, but as they age, these levels decline. This is why older horses, for example, are more prone to arthritis. The goal is therefore to raise these levels again, which can be done by supplementing silicon.

What distinguishes this silicon from others on the market? Many products use mineral silicon, but this form has an absorption rate of only 0–1%. The silicon in this product is a monomer that has been stabilised through a patented process. It has an absorption rate of 21–47%, the highest available on the market.
