Liquid Silica

Silica is the common name for the mineral silicon in its oxidized form (as found in nature and food). It's a trace mineral nutrient that your body uses to build and maintain connective tissues. Silica is a critical building block for collagen, the protein that gives structure to skin, hair, nails, bones, and joints. Without enough silica, your body can't make collagen efficiently, which is one reason silica is linked to healthier skin and stronger, more flexible bones. Silica also helps your body manage calcium, ensuring that calcium is deposited into your bones and teeth (where it strengthens them) and not left floating in the bloodstream or soft tissues. Because modern diets tend to be low in silica (due to food processing stripping away natural sources), and because our natural silica levels drop with age, supplementing with silica is an easy way to support your joint health, bone density, and skin/hair/nail vitality over the long term.

Yes - Eidon Liquid Silica is very safe when used as directed. It's simply silica in purified water, with no additives. It's suitable for all ages (adjust the dosage for young children as noted above) and even safe for pets in appropriate small amounts. There are no known common allergens in it (it's gluten-free, vegan, and free of sugars or preservatives). However, as with any supplement, if you have a specific medical condition, are pregnant/nursing, or giving it to an infant, it's wise to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice. The body naturally needs silica, so this supplement just provides a highly absorbable form of an essential mineral in a gentle way.

The concentrate versions (available in 2 oz, 19 oz, and 1 gallon) are a higher potency liquid that you dilute in water when taking. The mineral content is the same per serving as the regular 18 oz bottle; the difference is just the volume of liquid. For example, one serving of silica can be delivered as 30 drops of concentrate (from a 2 oz bottle) or as 1 tablespoon of the regular strength (from the 18 oz bottle) - both give you 375 mg of silica. We created the 2 oz concentrate size for convenience (easy to travel with, and no heavy large bottles to carry). The 18 oz is great if you prefer not to count drops and want a bottle to keep at home. Either way, you're getting the same benefits; just choose the format that fits your lifestyle. (For those using a lot of silica or sharing within a family, the 19 oz and 1 gallon concentrate options offer bulk supply at a cost savings).

It depends on the bottle size and usage. The 2 oz concentrate contains about 30 servings (approximately one month's supply for an adult taking it daily). The 18 oz regular bottle provides slightly more than that - roughly 36 servings of 1 tablespoon each, so just over a month's supply per bottle. Larger sizes like the 19 oz concentrate will last about 9-10 months (it has about 285 servings), and the 1 gallon concentrate is a multi-year supply (best for large families or long-term routine use). If you're sharing the silica in a household, you may go through it faster. Many customers start with the 18 oz or 2 oz to see how they like it, and then upgrade to a bigger size for convenience once they decide to make silica a regular part of their wellness regimen.

Absolutely. Silica is a natural mineral nutrient and doesn't counteract most vitamins or supplements. In fact, it often complements other nutrients. For example, silica and collagen supplements can work hand-in-hand - silica helps your body utilize collagen better by boosting collagen production internally. Silica also complements calcium and vitamin D for bone health (since it improves calcium's effectiveness in bone building). All Eidon minerals are designed to be compatible with each other as well. Just be mindful to follow recommended doses for each supplement. If you're ever unsure about specific combinations or timing, consult a healthcare professional, but generally, silica is easy to incorporate alongside other parts of your wellness routine.

Many people take silica to support long-term structural health, so the benefits can be subtle at first but meaningful over time. You might notice stronger nails or faster hair growth after a couple of months, or improvements in skin texture and hydration as your collagen production gets a boost. Joint comfort and flexibility can also improve with continued use - some users report feeling less stiffness after a few weeks, while for others it may take a few months of regular use. Remember that minerals work by helping your body rebuild and maintain tissues, which is a gradual process. One clinical study, for instance, showed that higher daily silicon intake was associated with 10% greater bone density over time - but changes in bone strength happen over many months. Give it at least 3-6 months to gauge significant effects, as nutrients like silica support your body's natural renewal cycles (it takes time for new collagen to form and old damaged tissues to remodel). The key is consistent daily use. Over the long run, you're likely to notice healthier skin, tougher nails, fuller hair, and an easier time with joint movement as signs that silica is working from within.
