It is often believed that animal collagen supplements are superior to silica-based supplements when it comes to promoting collagen production in the human body. While animal collagen does have its advantages, it is important to understand that collagen synthesis is a complex process that involves multiple factors. Silica, a mineral abundantly found in nature, plays a crucial role in supporting collagen synthesis by facilitating the cross-linking of collagen fibers. Silica-based supplements can provide the necessary building blocks for collagen production, contributing to the maintenance of healthy bones, joints, skin.

There is a misconception that the higher the concentration of silica in a supplement, the better the results. However, it is important to understand that the effectiveness of silica-based supplements is not solely determined by their concentration. Factors such as the form of silica, its bioavailability, and the overall quality of the supplement play a significant role. A high-quality supplement with a bioavailable form of silica, even at a moderate concentration, can provide better results compared to a supplement with a higher concentration of a less bioavailable form.
