For many years it has been realized that you and your pet absorb not only the silica from calcium montmorillinite but also the silica from organic micronutrients that are contained in plants and certain specific micro organisms.
Silica happens to be the second most available element on our planet.
It is believed that people have a problem transforming mineral silica into organic silica so the body can assimilate it.
It has also been said that mammals can absorb mineral silica definitely from plants and micro organisms that have been transformed from mineral silica to organic silica.
I have not found this to be true in animals or their owners.
I have found that the chelated silica in the special calcium montmorillinite will be absorbed only as the bodies needs dictate.
It has been shown that silica is excreted daily from the body and ingestion replacement will always be necessary.
Silica was discovered by Berzellus in 1810.
Silica happens to make up 25% of the earth’s crust and is the principle ingredient used in making glass.
Silica has been used medically to correct and avoid many health problems in people and in animals.
Its primary use is to help correct and avoid an elasticity of blood vessels that helps stop the development of aneurisms.
It also is highly important in helping stop osteoporosis including not only increased bone density but also in helping bone strength.
It also has been shown to transfer calcium and other essential micronutrients into proper bone formation.
It has also enhanced the strength of other anatomical structures that contain calcium like skin, connective tissue, nails, hair, teeth and gums.
With my own personal veterinary studies, I have used the special calcium montmorillinite with silica with great success without being concerned that the silica was in an organic form.
I found that by using this special calcium montmorillinite I saw the creation of increased hair growth and color, an increased rigidity and thickness of the egg shell of all birds that received this natural substance and also a reduction of arthritis and loss of bone density.
The calcium montmorillinite also contains one of the most significant negative ions of all the different types of clays.
What does this mean? It means that this special clay will actually help transport other supplements like vitamins, nutraceuticals and micronutrients actually through the cell membrane and make these other nutritional products more available to the cellular factories called mitochondria for improved energy and oxygen.
Silica does not remain in the body and can enhance its loss from the body due to ingestion of large amounts of white bread, refined sugar, and peeled fruits and vegetables.
It is my own personal opinion, that with the use of calcium montmorillinite, I have seen enhanced health for all my patients.
Obviously more research needs to be done, however I am more than satisfied to know that all of my veterinary patients have enjoyed better health due to the use of calcium montmorillinite.
The comments and opinion are only mine and are based upon successful clinical results.
