Silica helps aluminum to be excreted via urine but allows essential
metals, such as iron and copper, to stay in the body. Furthermore,
studies have shown that drinking silica-rich mineral water each day for
12 weeks helps to remove aluminum from the body.
Studies have shown that drinking silica-rich mineral water each day for
12 weeks helps to remove aluminum from the body. Preliminary evidence
indicates that drinking silica-rich mineral water decreases body levels
of aluminum in people with Alzheimer’s disease. In some patients, it
simultaneously improves cognitive performance to a significant degree
Supplementing with silica in the form of choline-stabilized ortho-silicic acid, stimulates collagen production and connective tissue function and
repair. Because of this, it has been shown to help to increase bone
mineral density in osteoporosis and improve the appearance and texture
of aging skin, hair, and nails.

Researchers recently discovered that bacopa extract prevents aluminum
toxicity in the cerebral cortex of rats. In one study, rats given bacopa
extract along with aluminum in their drinking water showed
significantly less aluminum-initiated damage to lipids and proteins in
brain cells.[10] The bacopa extract also prevented a decline in the
normal antioxidant activity associated with aluminum. In another study,
aluminum in rats’ drinking water caused significant memory impairment on
two different maze tests.[11] However, rats treated with bacopa extract
were significantly protected against aluminum-induced memory impairment
compared to rats not given bacopa.
