Introducing Our Dynamic Three-Step Process for Crafting Living Silica®

Written by siliciumlabs | Jan 15, 2025 3:44:11 PM

Developing a high-performance silicon ingredient requires more than raw material sourcing, it depends on precise molecular design, controlled manufacturing, and rigorous quality systems.

At Silicium Laboratories, LIVING SILICA® is produced through a structured three-step process designed to ensure bioavailability, stability, and consistency across applications.

| STEP 1. Molecular Design and Formulation

The development of LIVING SILICA® is based on the original work of Dr. Loïc Le Ribault, further refined through proprietary formulation processes.

This stage focuses on:

  • Controlled synthesis of bioavailable silicon forms (MMST)
  • Optimization of molecular stability to prevent polymerization
  • Reproducibility and batch-to-batch consistency

 

Our proprietary approach is designed to replicate key aspects of silicon’s natural transformation into soluble forms, while ensuring suitability for nutraceutical applications.

| STEP 2. Controlled Manufacturing Environment

LIVING SILICA® is manufactured in a dedicated facility under controlled conditions, ensuring product integrity throughout the process.

Key manufacturing features include:

  • Single-purpose production environment to avoid cross-contamination
  • Controlled processing parameters to maintain molecular stability
  • Use of high-pressure processing (HPP) as a non-thermal method to support microbiological safety

 

This approach allows us to preserve ingredient functionality while meeting modern expectations for clean-label and minimally processed products.

| STEP 3. Quality Control and Regulatory Compliance

Quality assurance is integrated at every stage of production, from raw material verification to final product release.

Each batch undergoes:

  • Identity and purity testing
  • Microbiological analysis
  • Heavy metals and contaminant screening
  • Verification against predefined specifications

 

All processes are conducted in accordance with FDA cGMP requirements for dietary supplements.

LIVING SILICA® ingredients are also self-affirmed GRAS for use in food and beverage applications, supporting their integration into a wide range of product categories.

A Process Designed for Consistency and Performance

This three-step framework ensures that LIVING SILICA® delivers:

  • High and reproducible bioavailability
  • Stability across shelf life and formulation conditions
  • Compatibility with multiple delivery formats

 

For brands and manufacturers, this translates into reliable ingredient performance and reduced formulation risk.

Supporting Next-Generation Product Development

Silicium Laboratories develops silicon-based ingredients designed for use in:

  • Nutraceutical supplements
  • Functional foods and beverages
  • Beauty-from-within formulations
  • Active and healthy aging products

 

Our focus is on providing science-backed, formulation-ready ingredients that support differentiation in competitive markets.
