Silicon and osteoarthritis.
What is osteoarthritis?
Silicon can also have a positive effect on arthrosis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the cartilage in the joints is broken down. Silicon plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of cartilage tissue.
Silicon is a component of proteoglycans, which are responsible for the elasticity and strength of cartilage. It promotes the production of collagen, which plays an important role in the structure of cartilage. Silicon can also support the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, which is important for joint lubrication.
Studies have shown that an adequate intake of silicon may be associated with improved cartilage quality and a reduction in cartilage wear in osteoarthritis. It may also have anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.
Just like bones, joints are also key components of our musculoskeletal system. The structural protein collagen plays an important role. Collagen fibers form the important cartilage and connective tissue of our joints. But collagen also plays an important structural role in the composition and elasticity of bones. In areas where collagen is formed for bones and cartilage, there are high concentrations of silicon and other minerals, which promote the formation of collagen.
Our nutritional supplement Osvalin, a solution rich in bioavailable silicon (dioxide), can have a positive impact on bone and cartilage metabolism. Taking Osvalin to supplement your silicon and magnesium intake is also advantageous as a preventive measure.
What silicon does for osteoarthritis.
Silicon is essential for activating the enzymes required for the formation and maintenance of cartilage, and for keeping the ligaments healthy. A diet-related silicon deficiency causes the development of small, poorly formed joints, and leads to reduced joint cartilage mass.
It is important to note that silicon alone is not sufficient to cure or prevent osteoarthritis. Holistic treatment, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, weight control and other therapeutic approaches as appropriate, is usually required. It is recommended to always consult a doctor or nutritionist before taking supplements or changing dietary habits.
