How are we different?
The diatom soil for our silica capsules comes from the original sediment of a freshwater reservoir that dried up millions of years ago and extended over 25km² in northern Hungary. Due to the disappearance of this lake, countless unicellular diatoms died and their silica shells enriched the sediment.
Over millions of years, a 10m-thick diatom layer has developed, from which mining has been occurring since the 1950s. The deposit is the only one of its kind in Central Europe. The diatom soil extracted there, enriched with silicic acid, serves as a valuable raw material for our silica capsules.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass jars.
Our commitment to uncompromising quality & purity:
- Premium active ingredients as pure isolates & directly sourced from leading global producers
- All formulations crafted exclusively from selected individual raw materials
- Our commitment: zero unnecessary additives, technical excipients or chemical extraction agents
- Voluntary declaration of all non-mandatory ingredients
- Where additives are necessary, preference is given to valuable natural ingredients
- Capsule shells entirely free from carrageenan & PEG
- Systematic quality testing conducted by independent laboratories
- Packaged in amber glass or premium aroma-protective zipper bags designed to protect against oxidation & contaminants
- All products entirely free from magnesium stearate, nanoparticles (without legal exceptions), GMOs, artificial colours & flavours, titanium dioxide
- Added sugar & sweeteners: used only where required for functional or product-specific reasons
Effects
Diatomaceous earth consists of the fossilised remains of diatoms – microscopic unicellular microalgae – whose shells contain particularly high amounts of silica. They live in freshwater and marine environments and have the ability to absorb silicic acid from seawater and convert it into silica for their own shells. For this reason, diatomite deposits are often found in areas close to volcanoes. There, the microalgae have access to easily soluble silicic acid from the volcanic rock.
During their life, they lose their shells and thus enrich the soil with their silicic acid-containing cell envelopes. If their biotope changes due to the drying out of a lake or other environmental influences, they can even die off en masse. The diatom soil that then develops is deposited and sometimes forms metre-high layers that contain particularly high amounts of silica.
Silica
This mineral's name comes from the Latin word "silex", meaning hard stone. Silicon, at 28%, is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust. For every kilogram of body weight in the human body, approximately 20mg is silicon, although this value seems to decrease with age. It is found in connective tissue, blood vessels, tendons and ligaments as well as bones, cartilage, hair and nails. Whole grains (brown millet and oats, in particular), as well as horsetail, bamboo shoots and diatoms, are good sources of silicon.
Organic Silica
Silica is present in plants and other organisms in the form of orthosilicic acid, a compound which is not fully bioavailable in the presence of certain fibres.
General Silica Requirements
Silica is a component of connective tissue and bone-forming osteoplasts. Silica has not yet been given an official daily recommendation for consumption. Experts suspect that silica requirements are increased in cases of aluminium poisoning, osteoporosis and old age.
The average amount excreted in urine is between 10–40mg per day.
