In this video, we’re going to talk about the therapeutic benefits of silica. The form of silica we’re going to cover is called orthosilicic acid. Certain parts of the body have high amounts of silica, especially the aorta, trachea, bones, and skin. As people age, these parts of the body become rough, rigid, and inelastic. But, silica may help slow down this process.
Benefits of silica:
• It can stimulate collagen type 1
• It can stimulate skin fibroblasts
• It can help bone mineralization (bone density)
• It can help decrease blood pressure
• It’s involved in calcification of the bone, and it has similar effects to vitamin D
• It chelates aluminum
• It can prevent the loss of skin elasticity
Two great sources of silica are:
• Mineral water
• Vegetables

I get silica from a bamboo extract supplement, high in silica and very cost effective. My hair and nails grow like weeds when I’m taking this stuff!
awesome! which brand?
@@eddinamorra1781: Swanson
@@jennifervanpanhuis8406 but what about skin are you old enough to have noticed a difference in the skin of your face and or neck ?
@@gardensofthegods I am in my mid forties and have absolutely no wrinkles, which i am thankful for; but I cannot attribute it to this one supplement. I (unfortunately) get almost no sun, eat keto/low carb, and take a pile of different supplements for my health. I also got lucky as far as my genes: my ancestors didn’t wrinkle much…though they did sag heavily in their later years. I guess gravity always wins, if you live long enough! ;) Wish I could be more help. :/
Where do you get this?
It helps to strengthen the connective tissues of the brain, nerve cells, and spinal cord thereby improving memory and helping to prevent memory loss. Silica also helps stabilize the pancreas's release of insulin! If you want your nails, skin, and hair to be healthy, turn to silica👍
I take diatomaceous earth (1 plastic teaspoon in a glass of water, mix it and drink it in the morning, and wait a minimum half an hour before eating). It is a natural source of silica. 😊
It's not recommended to folk with implants. I learned when my Titanium allergy struck again after taking Silica. Only then did I read the warning on the bottle.
I just want to share an update, I had a problem with inflamed hip joint and switched to taking Zeolite, and knock on wood, it works! I can walk pain free again! 🥰
@Taiwo Omotosho my new dishwasher by Bosch uses zeolite to dry dishes
@Taiwo Omotosho its a specific product processed from bentonite clay which is a powerful detoxifies which also gives you minerals for strong bones and teeth
Nice to know the Dr and the team read the comments. I read someones comments on yesterdays video about Silica and was googling it but didn't find anything. Good job :)
Nettles also contain a good amount of silica.
Seriously, I came to this video because I wanted know what happened to all those silica hair as I am digesting a pot full of stinging nettle.
Nettles I believe have side effects I take bamboo supplements to be on the safe side
You are a pro doctor..I love your videos and I love the way you explain it
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching!
When I'm buying a new supplement, I always RUclips it to see if Dr Berg can inform of its benefits and even what type to buy. Never taken silica before and wanted to know if it's worth it, are there any useful benefits and learnt to buy Orthosilicic Acid. Thank you Dr Berg as can count on you when it comes to keeping healthy and up-to-date.
I love your concise, organized, well-informed videos. I'm a person who wants to spend less time on the internet and you are great. You don't waste time and I for one greatly appreciate that!
Much love- I just had to let you know.
ATTENTION: Hers's what I do to assist VD3 absorbtion. Take it with a good-oil like:
100% Virgin Coconut Oil: 1 Tab. Sp..........0r,
100% Virgin Olive Oil: 1 T.spn.
And, w 6 mg. Of Boron. Or a good chelared mineral complel.
Me too
I ck out Berg for his recomdatiins too
Same. I search Dr. Berg and whatever it is that I want to learn about to see if he has weighed in on it or not and he usually has! 😊
Good info. Cheers Doc 👍🏾🤓🤙🏾
Thank You Dr Berg for all the valuable info you share with us!
I use Silica that has some Zinc citrate and a bit of Boron citrate in it...is that a good formula?
I do it on empty stomach....
More healthy information, to help you live to your fullest! Love 4Truth!
Hi , like the way you explain
Cheers
Thanks Dr Berg. I drink bamboo tea for my daily silica but I learnt of other sources by listening to you. God bless you for your wonderful informative videos.
Nettle, Horsetail & Oat Wheat Grasses are some of the highest plant based sources of Silica. Silica (and Magnesium) is used to create Calcium. That's how Cows can make so much milk whilst just eating green grass. High in Silica and Magnesium (from Chlorophyll).
Bamboo extract?
BAMBOO!
Brazil nuts..
Bamboo has the most silica
Great, as usual. Will try to find it as a dietary supplement.

you're such an amazing doctor, god bless you❤🤗❤
Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Berg your videos are focused and to the point.❤
Thank you. That actually meant a lot.
Q-silica liquid worked for me. My ragged peeling nails hardened in 3 days. Now they grow like claws, long and hard. They never split
Or chip. So happy with the result. I’m 72 years old
Did you put it on your nails or internal?
Wow!! In my whole life ive never been able to grow nails!!! They crack. Split both ways, peel, break!!! I just decided the hell with it!!! Never will have strong beautiful nails like my sisters!!! Ugh!😡
Take internally. I have used the capsules, but find the liquid works quicker and better for me.
Don’t give up.. purchase a bottle of Q-silica and take it until it has finished. I’m sure you will be surprised by the results. One day you will be
Complaining that you have to keep clipping your nails 💅 Good luck 💕
I too am 72 years old. Just recently started losing my hair, nails splitting and my skin which is always been soft is getting ruddy and saggy. Started on liquid silica 2 weeks ago. Hoping that this will stop the “old lady uglies” from continuing.
Hi Dr. You are the best for a medical answer..
Is estrogen related to triglycerides, is there a relationship between them ...? What the affect they makes?
I hope to find an answer. my regards to you
tea brewed from bamboo leaf is high in silica and other good things as well, like soluble fiber, antioxidents etc. i get mine from my own bamboo groves.
@Sam Dill, that's useful to know. It is amazing how many leaves make healthy tea. I drink olive leaf tea and bay leaf tea. I will try bamboo leaf tea. Thanks!
So lucky to have your own bamboo groves. We have a lot of bamboo trees here in Florida. Think I need to go 'steal' some bamboo leaves from them. 😁
Great info I need to start taking this
Thank you for watching!
Halo Dr great video! I want to ask something realated to prolong fasting.I want to do water fasting for a week , which supplements we shud take to have smooth n easy fasting n can we take them empty stomach.Dr waiting for ur reply .
Interesting, thank you!
Great content so I supplement with Vitamin D3 and K2 is this considered the same. What vegetables do you suggest green leafy ones?
I supplement Horsetail which has tons of silica. It was a missing link with my hair health. I was doing everything right with vitamins, trace minirals etc. which had restored about 90% of my hair health, but the horsetail was the final piece of the puzzle. Filled in the annoying but noticeable patches that were still left rather quickly.
What brand horsetail? tea or pill?
Christopher Alden I just take the pills. 2 a day for a total of 880 mg with all my other tablets.
I’m using a generic brand called Best Natural. You can find it on Amazon for dirt cheap.
What else helped your hair I would love to hear
GiGi
Nettle Root (inhibits DHT)
Lugol’s Iodine (lowers cortisol and strengthens thyroid. I noticed within minutes of taking the iodine something was different and I FEEL it when I’m not taking it).
Organic Multivitimin - We should ALL be doing this.
Daily Spirulina -this is my primary source of greens but it’s also one of the only plant sources of DHA Omega 3 fatty acids.
Nutritional yeast - Cheat code for b vitimins
Tablespoon of flax - omega 3s
If you have VERY high sensitivity to DHT, maybe nettle is not strong enough. Eventually I got Finasteride 1 mg which inhibits more DHT than nettle. It’s the only synthetic thing I take. It was so sensitive on my mom’s side of the family that I am the ONLY male my age (26) I know of that has not gone bald. Even my brother shaved his head at 19! I have ALL my hair and am braiding it in a few weeks. However even with the finasteride when I slipped up my routine for a couple weeks it didn’t matter. The healthy hormone and nutrition regiment was not to be trifled with and blocking DHT was not nearly enough. I had major shedding within a few weeks and patches rapidly appeared.
Lastly I eat a high protein low net carb diet. I’m not sure if this has a major effect as I saw most of the hair improvements before changing my diet but it was worth mentioning.
The only thing I can stress is do not get lazy with the routine. You do this every day and you’ll have healthy hair every day. You miss 1 or 2 things for a day here and there and it doesn’t matter. But getting lax is a fatal mistake. Good luck :)
Thanks, Mai!! I make a tea with mine (added to hibiscus, lemongrass, and mint), but I don't drink it daily. I'll definitely incorporate the pills on a daily basis.
My family appreciates & thanks you from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you Dr Berg
LOL, Doc, I think you need another marker. Great information 👍😊
Hi Dr Eric Berg! I'm your huge fan n benefitted most by doing Intermittent Fasting! I kept fairly in control my insulin n glucose levels! But yesterday I was shocked to see my morning glucose levels as 171!!!! Earlier they were in range of 90 to 100 !!!! My Pp came 121! Why morning glucose value soooo high??? I am from INDIA n also in your success story! Please help me n give advise! I hugely rely on you!! Thanks!
If you want iron bones like on the movie Avatar what you want is organic silica which the body transmutes into calcium. (And don't weaken your bones by consuming carbonated drinks). Organic silica is found in young tender plants before the stalks get strong. Horsetail picked in spring when it looks like Asparagus is the top source and alfalfa sprouts is the most readily available. I eliminated 10 years of back pain within weeks and it helps reduce joint pains. The lining in chicken and duck eggs is almost pure organic silca which the embryo converts into calcium in the chick. This explains how chicks have 4x the calcium as can be found in the egg. The lining from duck eggs is more easily removed and consumed. Dr. William Jackson covers this in his 2015 book Life More Abundant..
Fascinating. Thanks! Going to go look for this book.
Just tried and it is nowhere on Amazon..
the best source of silica is Quartz stone. Its a transparent or white stone we can find in the river or mountains. crush and eat before breakfast
Great! You have made a video about silica that I yesterday mentioned about it on your previous video about osteoporosis. So I noticed that people have been asking about diatomaceous earth food grade (DE). The simple method is add a fullspoon of DE in a container gallon fill it up with water, let it settle down to the bottom that takes 3 to 5 days. After that, you drink the water but be careful not to disturb the DE at the bottom, that water contains trace amount of orthosilicic acid. The reason why this method is important is because DE contains 80 to 90% of silicon dioxide, when it gets in contact with water, it becomes an organic silica form called orthosilicic acid. Same thing how stomach acid forms organic silica when ingesting silicon dioxide but it is poorly absorbed. So there you have it. And if you want to look for herbs that has high source silica, look for bamboo stalks silica extract or butcher's broom.
@FarMur is that one tablespoon of DE?
@@hazbaby92 2 to 3 tablespoons.
@@allatomas1743 You just drink the water throughout the whole day, I would say around 1 liter or so but then slowly and throughout the whole day.
Thank you!
I saw your comment to the previous video and today I thought Dr.Berg must have seen it too and uploaded the video about silica. Thank you for sharing that information 👍
Thank you very much
Thanks Dr. Berg.
💐🍁🌻💙Hi dr berg. Thank you alot 🌷💜🍂💃🌿🌻
Thanks Dr. Eric for giving us a clearer picture of Silica and the therapeutic benefits.
I have recently joined 'Hi Life Wellness' a nascent company. We have SILICA DROPS, I was curious and had done a research on the product, and I was amazed by how underrated Silica drop is.
Thanks to doctors like you for giving us comprehensible benefits of Silica
No problem. Glad to share the information I found out about silica. Hope this will help your team.
Why didn’t you mention diatomaceous earth as a supplement? It has over 80% Silica in it.
He made a video about it a while back
I asked him the same thing
But I read somewhere that diatomaceous earth actually has much less silica per weight than does bamboo silica .
Not to be consumed & wearing a mask & gloves when handling it for the Garden is recommended as can do damage to the Lungs if inhaled!
Your body can not dissolve it , and its very sharp under the microscope, never take it.
Also not zeolite and NANO silver. everything Nano is a disaster for the body!!!!
Checkout Tony Pantalleresco on herbsplusbeadworks.
🌈🌻🦋ThankYou! What about the silica that is in vitamins?
hi, thank u for this vedio.... u make us learn to live healthy.. i heared that the diatomaceous earth can damage kidneys as i saw one reviewer saying he got kidney damage. i am trying to heal my stomach lining from mild gastritis and scared to harm other parts.
Cabbage juice to heal guts and ulcers
Thank you Doctor for the nice video. I was always told growing up that silica was like the analogy used with the chick in the egg. That the chick gets his skeleton from the silica in the white part of the egg. I’ve been told taking calcium from pills is actually harmful but then taking silica allows your body to convert the silica into calcium in your body. Your thoughts would be very much appreciated on this analogy thank you!
I am going to research all scources of silica starting with egg shells.
Hi
It’s better to take silica or biotin or if can I take both together with low t3 thyroid levels
Thank you
Thank you so much
You are very welcome.
Juicing 1-2 Cucumbers every few days is great for silica
ive been taking homeopathic silica for a long time.. it really helps my hair and nails and skin..very interesting video.. thanks for that.
Is it just a silica supplement?
@@napaea9460 its a homeopathic remedy that I use.. it gets rid of abcesses every single time.
@@europanzz bro I'm talking silicea for my scar and..... I think the healing process started but.... Can u tell me silicea really good for like scars and other skin healing process???
Horsetail herb is rich in silica too.
amazing. i've noticed that at 58, my skin is getting tougher in some places (especially the bottom of my feet), and i'm not happy about it. i've thought about going to the dr, but i think he'd just say put some cream on it of some sort. my nails are also quite a bit more fragile. my beard is now epic though, so i have that going for me... i just got some k2, so i'm gonna give this a go as well.
Try boron. It drives calcium and magnesium in your bones, keeping them strong. A side benefit? It makes your hair grow like crazy!
@@KL-xs7kq really?? how would i get boron into me? looks like i could chip a tooth on it, lol!
Thanks!!!!!
Amazing video
Thanks for watching!
Is silicon dioxide bad for you to take in Magnesium?
Thanks so much for the Information.
Since I have been doing Low carb / keto, I noticed my nails were getting really brittle.
Others have Problems with hair loss. Believe it is a silica deficiency, die to the diet (everything you crossed out 😅).
Will be taking a supplement.
Why not just incorporate some whole grains into you diet? Your body is telling you that you are missing something.
@@AtEboli
You might be right about that 😂
Good video 👍🏻
Happy to be of help!
Dr. Eric Berg, I have a question,can metasilicic acid remove aluminum from human body as effectively as orthosilicic acid you recommend? Most mineral water in my country available for me to buy contains only metasilicic acid
I decided to start taking silica for my hair. Not sure if it will help but nothing else has.
silica is also known as Silicone Dioxide correct? I found this as the last ingredient in my Thorne vitamins.
So where can I get this supplement that Dr. Eric recommends ?
Please do a video on your apoe4 Diet recommendations
I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

I am recently very interested in herbs, and especially in weeds! So I took a deep dive and first up was a weed called Cleavers, a perennial favorite of human and canine herbalists. Also called stickyweed because it's like velco and grows everywhere. Side note: UK uses it a lot in their holistic canine blends but you cannot find anything here is the states. I harvested about 6 handfuls this weekend in a secluded area and rinsed it well. Then I juiced it and got about 8 oz of rich dark green juice. I take it 4xd, just a tsp in water. My dogs get it 2xd. It is known for increasing lymphatic circulation, which is why I was interested. BUT it is also rich in Silica and VIt C! It's nice to know that there is something organic and free out there that is so beneficial. Thank you Dr. Berg for giving all the benefits of this amazing mineral. Good to know K2 pairs well with it.
Thank you!
Most welcome!
I love Silica!!! This one really helped my nails, that would break.
We're looking at preserving our own organic eggs in Sodium Silicate using the traditional water glassing method. In your opinion, is it safe or even beneficial to eat eggs that have been sitting in a solution of water and Sodium Silicate for 8-12 months?
how did this experiment go??
I thought waterclassing was done with calcium hydroxide.
Diatomaceous Earth may have those properties
It does.
It is very high in silica.
thomas gellos How do you take it? In liquids?
DE earth must be labeled FOOD GRADE.When consuming I’ve been taught by Far Mur that you put a 2-3 tablespoonful in a gallon of water&let it sit for 3-5 days, this process will make DE converts to othosilica acid. Then you drink the water not the powder that’s been settled on the bottom
@@lynnmacro3044 you must get food grade diatomaceous earth. I teaspoon in 8oz water mixed. I add a bit of stevia. Also it will kill intestinal parasites. You can give to animals too. Important to take on empty stomach and dont ingest or take meds for an hour and a half. But you can research for yourself. Info on web. Good luck🍀
I am not able to use herbal supplementation because I have prosthetic heart valves but I can take a silica supplement which I started two weeks ago. Hoping to preserve my skin, bones and hair which have recently become problematic at 72 years of age.
WD-40 should help
Is silica same as silicon dioxide and why they're in food supplements?
i got this 100 Grams Choline-Stabilized Orthosilicic Acid Powder (Organic Silicon) from amazon. how much do i take per day? it says that 1.3 - 1.7 % is silicon
Pretty cheap and is amazing. Diatomaceous earth food grade. First thing I noticed was my finger nails, they stopped splitting.
Next was my skin, age spots fading.
Thanks for the vid Dr Berg. I just sent my 84 year old mom some. To add elasticity to her arteries for high blood pressure. We are getting her off all pharmaceutical un natural crap. She is down to just blood pressure pill now. Told her to take her BP everyday and watch it closely. Hopefully we can get it down naturally..
She was not eating either, now we have her eating eggs every day. Told hungry or not, she needs to eat eggs. She is working hard to remain healthy. She is taking her D3 and K2, Nac and Glycine and magnesium, the good kind. We depending on eggs for the rest of her nutrients. Just added silica source. I know eggs have it but felt she needed more. She had to live till a day after I die, lol.
There is a whole movement of people who take this form of silica, Diatomaceous Earth.
They take this in powder form. For gut health and detox and many other reasons. Can I get your opinion on this type of silica intake?
Diatomaceous Earth is the first thing I think of when it comes to silica, so I'd like to know the answer from Dr. Berg as well.
I have questions, ı got orthosilicic acid ch-OSA as you advised this video. Can ı use it with my collagen powder together at the same time?
How much silica gel should i take a day? A table spoon daily??
Thank you!!!
Not a problem!
Is silicon dioxide ok in products? Is it harmful to the body?

He's right. I've had silica or silicone dioxide and have used it for my skin and hair for quite some time in conjunction with other properties that I normally tend to use. It is extremely viscous in higher amounts and tends to absorb very quickly. I have felt the tightening effects of it almost as if it repaired aging cells throughout my body. It is indeed a trace mineral but it's quite essential and many people overlook what minerals are able to accomplish for you. Vitamins outweigh the absorption of minerals which we tend to lack so much of.

Could you tell me what’s the best time of the day to take it?and has it to taken empty stomach?

yea sillica in the form of silicon dioxide is in those small packets that absorb water in food packaging.
i just buy a bulk of those packets from amazon for 7 bucks then pour them all into a blender into fine powder. then i add some sillicon dioxide powder to my multivitimin protein shake.
7 dollars worth of sillicon packets will last me a couple years!
been working great for me so far. 👍
It’s good for the hair too.
Get it from bamboo tea or diatomaceous earth. Both are plant sources so that the silica is in the right form.

Hi there! Yes it will.
is food with silicon dioxide safe?
Does silica have any side effects? Because I read a few things online that are a bit worrying
