What's
Silica Mineral?
Silica (Silicon Dioxide) is a natural compound made of Silicon and Oxygen. The amorphous form of Silicon is a trace mineral found in the human body and plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin, hair, nails, and bones. Humans can only absorb Silicon through Silicic Acid, which is bioactive and beneficial for health and beauty.
About UMO Silica Mineral.
UMO Silica Mineral is a concentrated Silicon Mineral extracted from Quartz Crystal sources. The extraction process involves heating the Crystals to 2,000°C and using a specialised filtration method to collect amorphous Silicon Mineral. The Silicon is then combined with modified hexagonal structured water, forming a unique molecular hexagonal structure (Hexagonal Nano-Oligosilicic Acid SiO₆(OH)₁₂)that enhances both product stability and bioavailability.
Why UMO Silica Mineral?
-
Market Leader in Japan
According to Japan Health Industry News, UMO Silica now holds a 90% market share of the concentrated silica supplement ingredient market in Japan, with an annual production of 500 tons.
-
Highest Silicon Concentration in Food-Grade Products
The FDA and MOH allow Silica to be used in food and health supplements, as long as it is in amorphous form and does not exceed 2% V/V (volume-to-volume). A 5 ml serving of UMO Silica Liquid provides approximately 45 mg of Silicon, which is the amount the human body needs daily.
-
Patented technology and molecular structure:
Hexagonal nano-oligosilicic acid (SiO₆(OH)₁₂)
Based on research by Nakajima, a hexagonal structure is a relatively stable molecular structure in liquid form, as the water molecules bond together through hydrogen bonds. UMO® Silica, produced using a patented process, becomes the only hexagonal nano-oligosilicic acid (SiO₆(OH)₁₂). This structure not only increases product stability but also improves bioavailability and absorption in the human body.
-
Backed by the Japan Silicon Medical Science Society
Around 50 Japanese doctors and professors from various hospitals, clinics, and universities are researching how UMO® Silica impacts human health and beauty.
-
Proven and Trusted
Backed by 30 scientific research papers, UMO® Silica is the most evidence-based silica mineral ingredient in the world, with evidence supporting both its safety and efficacy.
Patented Technology
Hexagonal Nano - Oligosilicic Acid SiO₆(OH)₁₂
UMO Silica Liquid is produced using patented technology that forms a unique molecular hexagonal structure, enhancing both product stability and bioavailability. The image below shows the molecular structure as seen under a microscope. Even after being stored for one year, the molecules of UMO® Silica show no condensation or polymerization.
