What is Silica?
Silica, also known as silicon dioxide, is a common ingredient found in many dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. It is a naturally occurring compound found in nature. It is commonly used as an excipient or inactive ingredient in various products.
Why Do We Use Silica?
Production Process Enhancement: Silica acts as a flow agent in the manufacturing process. It helps ensure that powders and other ingredients mix evenly and don't clump together, leading to consistent product quality and a better user experience.
No Caloric Value: Silica does not provide any nutritional benefits or contribute to the caloric content of a product. Its role is purely functional in the production process.
Is Silica Safe?
Non-Metabolizable: Our bodies do not metabolize silica, meaning it passes through the digestive system unchanged. This property makes it safe for consumption as it is not absorbed or utilized by the body.
Regulatory Approval: Silica is recognized as safe by major regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)
The Short of it:
Silica is an essential component in our products, playing a crucial role in ensuring quality and consistency. It is safe for consumption, as it is not metabolized by the body and is approved by regulatory authorities. Rest assured, the inclusion of silica in our products is to enhance manufacturing processes and improve user satisfaction without any health risks.
