User questions & answers

Question:	Is it organic(silica
Answer:	Solgar, Inc. 500 Willow Tree Rd., Leonia, NJ 07605
Question:	What type of calcium is used
Answer:	Hi... First, Solgar's Oceanic Silica (from Red Algae) only has 200 mg of calcium, which is only 15% of the RDA. The bottle does not state what type or source of that calcium, but does state on the front of the bottle 'Dairy Free'. You could get in touch with Solgar, Inc. 500 Willow Tree Rd., Leonia, NJ 07605 or phone 877-SOL-GAR4 (877-765-4274). Hope this helps you...
Question:	does this cause acne or oily skin
Answer:	Hi Kekoa, this product contains silica & a small amount of calcium (from red algae), which are minerals, not an oil at all. If you are unsure, maybe check with your Doctor.
Question:	How many milligrams does each capsule have
Answer:	2 vegetable capsules have 108 milligrams of Silica, 200 milligrams of Calcium. for the first week that I have used Silica I had noticed that I broke out with a few at acne. After a week the acne cleared and it has not occurred again.

Living Silica helps our bodies produce this essential collagen without having to consume it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a difference between the Living Silica liquid and the capsules
Answer:	Liquid absorption in the body is faster than pills
Question:	Is there a difference between Orgono living Silica and collagen powders on the market coming from beef or fish
Answer:	As far as i understand, & i looked into this for my own use ..... Silica is a component needed to create Collagen, a boost is how it is often described. Whereas you could take readily available Collagen. The Orgono product says their silica is sourced from a trace element found in quartz, so completely different from an animal sourced Collagen. I would say you have to experiment & find what works for you. Maybe if you are younger a 'boost' from silica might be all you need. If older with dwindling collagen or medical issues like osteoporosis etc. you may get better results with straight collagen from bone broth or powders.
Question:	What is the difference between the current and 'original' product
Answer:	I’m not sure what one means by current and original but they offer two types of silica. One is made from horsetail and the other from quartz. I’ve tried them both and see a noticeable difference with the quartz.
Question:	Did anybody else receive a white bottle cap instead of a black
Answer:	I received a bottle with a black cap both times i ordered.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it chelated silica complex??? Thanks
Answer:	The silica in this product is a form produced in plants, in this case horsetail (shavegrass), and has not been manipulated to chelate (bind) it to an acid; that chelating process is primarily used for inorganic forms of minerals from rock powders, such as carbonates and the like, to predigest them. But that processing is not necessary for organic (referring to its chemistry, not the agricultural production method) sources such as this one to increase bioavailability, as the silica is already in a pre-existing natural complex as found in the plant.
Question:	How many mg of silica per tab
Answer:	40 mg. Way more than Bio Sil's meager 5 mg. This is a good product with good results.
Question:	Does Silica Complex have zinc & copper in it as well? If so, how much mg
Answer:	Zinc - 5mg, no mention of copper on bottle.
Question:	I need to take 250mg of Silica. I cannot figure out on this bottle how much "silica" there is. Help

Question:	Does this have to be refrigerated once open
Answer:	No refrigeration required! Simply store at room temperature once opened.

User questions & answers

Question:	How is the Ortho Silic Acid stabilized without choline
Answer:	Correct, we do not use choline in this process. Our Silica (alongside all other Zemvelo liquid minerals) is stabilized through a proprietary process. All of our liquid minerals are ionic in nature, the individual molecule is then stabilized by being complexed with Fulvic Acid.  You can read more about our delivery process here: https://mymineralife.com/delivery/
Question:	Is this tested for heavy metals
Answer:	Yes - all Zemvelo products are tested for heavy metals and we can provide specific results once you can provide the lot # of the bottle in question. For reference, our specifications for heavy metals for our Zemvelo products are listed below: Pb NMT 10 mcg/day Hg NMT 2 mcg/day Cd NMT 5 mcg/day As NMT 15 mcg/day
Question:	Does it need refridgeration
Answer:	Yes, once you open the product we recommend you store the product in the refrigerator.
Question:	Does this need to be refridgerated? Two of the same questions asked one says yes, other says no. I am hoping the manufacturer can answer this
Answer:	We provide instructions for all of our liquid minerals on the label. For Silica specifically it is important that the bottle is refrigerated after opening. Prior to opening you may store at room temperature. Please let us know if you have any further questions, we are happy to help!

Why Take Zemvelo Liquid Silica?

Compelling research data suggests that silica is essential for health (although no recommended daily intake has been established). Benefits of Silica include:

• manage calcium usage and storage within the body.
• helps balance magnesium-calcium ratio to aid in stabilizing hormone production.
• important in the formation of collagen in bones, cartilage, tendons, connective tissue and blood vessels.
• boosts collagen production to naturally strengthen hair, skin and nails.
• aids in replenishing missing Silica in the body to help boost the body processes needed for promoting structural health.

Beautiful Hair, Skin and Nails Support

1. Silica improves the strength and elasticity of skin by stimulating collagen production in the dermal and epidermal layers. Stronger collagen means healthier, more elastic skin, and fewer and shallower wrinkles.
2. Silica helps hair grow thicker and stronger.
3. Silica can also strengthens weak, brittle nails.

Strengthen Bones & Joints

Silica plays an important role in bone calcification, including the growth of new bone. Bone building cells (osteoblasts) start by constructing a connective tissue matrix, after which the osteoblasts switch their function and begin to fill in this matrix with minerals – a process which requires silicon. Not only is Silica an essential partner of Calcium for healthy bone structure development, but Silica also works with glucosamine for joint suppleness.

Support Cardiovascular Health

Silica stimulates collagen formation and elasticity for strong blood vessels and arteries.

Strengthen Connective Tissue

Silica boosts healthy collagen formation to build strong, healthy cartilage, ligaments, tendons and connective tissue.

Zemvelo Silica Features:

Zemvelo Silica formula contains stabilized molecular clusters of Ortho Silicic Acid, which provide a biologically active form of silica in a meaningful concentration. Our Silica is manufactured in the USA. Professional grade CHD-Fulvic Acid has been added to further increase absorption and enhance overall well-being.

• QUICK ABSORPTION: An advanced aqueous form of Silica in clear solution for quicker absorption than tablets or capsules which must first dissolve in the digestive system before being absorbed.
• CONCENTRATED: 12,500 PPM or mg/L
• EXCELLENT VALUE: 8 oz bottle provides 48 day supply

The CHD-FA Fulvic Acid Difference

Zemvelo liquid ionic Silica supplement is formulated with CHD-Fulvic Acid - a natural, organic mineral substance with over 20 different worldwide patents, significant scientific studies and clinical trials. CHD-FA Fulvic Acid has been proven to increase the uptake and retention of minerals, vitamins and other nutrients by bonding with nutrient molecules to increase the permeability at a cellular level.

MET Water (Magnetic Enhancement Technology)

Zemvelo liquid ionic Silica supplement follows nature's own design for optimal nutrient uptake - liquid form. Our ionic minerals are prepared by combining elemental mineral source with a pure, energy enhanced structured water to improve the digestibility of nutrients in all Zemvelo supplements.

Angstrom Sized Ionic Silica Elements

Zemvelo liquid ionic Silica supplement uses a complex proprietary process liquefying minerals to a state where if dehydrated will grow crystals yielding a highly bio-available form of Silica that is non-metallic and is in simple, angstrom sized ionic form. The ionic charge is opposite of the charge of the intestinal walls, which allows the minerals to be automatically drawn to the walls of the intestines.

Question:	My first bottlecamewith black cap, second 2bottles came with white cap with different taste &taste like has tobacco in it.Did anybody experience same
Answer:	Never received a white cap bottle but we did receive one with an off taste. Subsequently we received a new bottle in the mail and an email explaining they had sent the new bottle because they were not satisfied with the quality of the one we received. It was up to us to keep or discard the first bottle. I would contact the company directly. They are very accommodating.
Question:	What is the difference between this formula and the mineral liquid Silica
Answer:	HI Eileen, in my research depending on which liquid silica you refer to, that usually is derived from a "rock" version where as The orgono is from a concentrated version of horsetail grass. The plant derivative is much more highly absorbable by the human body than the "rock or hard mineral" version.
Question:	Does this need to be refrigerated
Answer:	TRUE FACTEvery liquid herbal or vitamins should be refrigerated after opining including fish oil...Orogno can have great benefits on the body FOR cleansing includes many other health benefits, But must be carful from taken too much Because Oregano herb can also block Vitamin B absorption (Which is essential for heart health) and that's Why, Companies like Lookingvibrant.com formulate their products with PhD Pharmacognosy specialist that understand the negative and positive synergetic effects for each ingredient when formulating each formula like YOUR DAILY FOUNDATION (Multi Liquid vitamins), The PhD Pharamacognosy examines the effective of each ingredient without causing any negative synergetic effects...As a biochemist, we tests many supplements but we find that the top 2 companies consistency in quality and positive synergetic effects are: GAYAHERBS and Lookingvibrant.com that always use top quality ingredients, Not only made in the U.S. But also ingredients that are sourced from U.S. / Western Europe.. Unlike 99% of the supplement companies uses mostly Chinese or cheap synthetic ingredients...TRUE-FACT
Question:	Which is the difference between "ORGONO G5 SILIPLANT" and "ORGONO MINERAL SILICA LIQUID"? Which is better
Answer:	There are important differences in the product. Orgono Silica(nee G5) is derived from sea sand which has been acted up by bacteria and seawater. Siliplant is from fermented horsetail hence the name Siliplant....Silica from PlantsBoth have their uses and focus.The Siliplant has more Silica than the Orgono. The Orgono has better anti-viral properties than the Siliplant due to the type of silica source. Answered by Felix C of Orgono Silica

Now their a form of this in a liquid too but I have not seem the form in cream to put on the body. These pills can not be used topically and these pills are not gel like either.
Question:	What are the ingredients? What is the source of the ingredients - plant or mineral
Answer:	This is the ingredient list by serving size (2 capsules): Vitamin D2 (as Ergocalciferol) 133 IU Calcium (as Calcium carbonate) 266 mg Silica 224 mg Other ingredients: Plant-derived capsule, Vegetable modified cellulose, Magnesium stearate.

Just Calcium Alone Cannot Build Bones

It is a common assumption that calcium supplement is the answer for restoring bone density. In the USA, 43% of Americans take calcium supplements daily, of which 70% is older women.

Weak bones are due to collagen deficiency, NOT calcium!

Research has shown that calcium has little or no effect on supporting healthy bone density. In fact, consuming excessive calcium supplements can result in constipation and heart damage.

The bone structure consists of more than just calcium, it is made up of collagen, calcium phosphate and bone cells. Calcium is hard like chalk whereas collagen is bendable.. Without collagen, even the hardest bones can crack, shatter or break. Running, jumping and other activities could be painful. Collagen is likened to the ‘steel frame’ on which calcium and other bone minerals are attached to, to form mineralized collagen fibrils.

Although collagen only makes up 30% of bones, it is believed that collagen contributes to as much as 80% of the bone’s total strength.

Bioactive Organic Silica is a revolutionary collagen boosting compound that improves collagen levels at the root and effectively supports healthy bone density.
