What's Silica Mineral?
Silica (silicon dioxide) is a natural compound composed of silicon and oxygen. The amorphous form of silicon is a trace mineral found in the human body that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin, hair, nails, and bones. It is typically present in the form of orthosilicic acid (H₄SiO₄), which supports the absorption of essential minerals and promotes overall health and wellness.
About UMO® Silica Liquid
UMO® Silica Mineral is a concentrated water-soluble silica extracted from quartz crystal sources. The extraction process involves heating the crystals at 2,000°C and using a special filtration method to collect amorphous silica.
The silica is then mixed with modified hexagonal structured water, forming a unique molecular hexagonal structure that enhances product stability and bioavailability. The result is a highly concentrated silica mineral that can be easily diluted in water for consumption.
