The respiratory systems bring life to our bodies. Silica supplements can help us take care of these systems. Lung damage, particularly in smokers is a very serious condition. The use of silica supplements can help alleviate this problem by helping in the repair of lung tissues. Other benefits of silica include restoring elasticity to lung tissue and the upper respiratory tract.
The walls of arteries, skin and ligaments are very rich in elastin. The reticular fibers: these fibers are also made up of collagen fibrils that make up the collagen fibers. But in the reticular fibers said collagen fibers make up a loose and delicate net and do not make thick. Reticular fibers are abundant in loose connective tissues especially in the reticular tissue (see below).Silicon acts on all structure because of its importance for the conformation of the collagen and elastin fibers and for the connective tissue integrity. Silicon is indicated for treating asthma, skin conditions, tendon, bone, and cartilage problems.
Nose and Throat; Repeat rhinopharyngitis, chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, recurrent tonsillitis. Bronchi and lungs; Chronic bronchitis, chronic asthma (with pulmonary sputum), abscesses of the lungs, tuberculosis.
According to some authors the effects of silicon deficiency states can also generate: Growth retardation - Fragile bones - Dehydrated skin - Acne - Tendency to abscesses and fistulas - Furunculosis - Tonsillitis - Intellectual deficiency - Conjunctivitis - Dental caries - Fragility and / or fall of the Hair - Fragile and opaque nails - Tendinitis - Fibrosis - Joint problems - Coronary pathologies - In tuberculosis and cancer the lack of silicon has been confirmed - Osteoarticular and supportive tissue alterations in general - Lowering of the defenses - Bronchopulmonary problems.
It has been shown that a decrease in the rate of silicon in tissues is accompanied by a decrease in its rate of elastin (sclerosis). The silicon therefore determines the elasticity of the tissues, therefore, plays a strategic role in arterial health. The mechanism of action is multiple:
Another role of silicon related to connective tissue, affects the elasticity and resistance of lung tissue, with a protective action against necrosis, such as emphysema, to aggressive agents such as tobacco.
