Organic Silicon (SILANOL): CHxSi(OH)4-x
the most assimilable form of silicon
The monomethylsilanetriol CH3 (Si OH)3 is the form most widely used in therapeutic applications.
Organic silicon molecules are distinguished from those of mineral silicon by the fact that they contain at least one carbon atom.
In the 1960's Dr JANET were the first to study the therapeutic properties of non toxic, water-soluble silanols that are very easily assimilated by the body.
They highlighted the main chemical properties of silanols: to be assimilated, they had to exist in aqueous solution in the form of soluble oligomers of low molecular weight, and to present many Si-OH functions
Properties of silanols
Silanols play a double role: a contributor of Silicon and a potentiator for other molecules.
They are thus present in the form of assimilable silicon providers as well as being potentiators for other molecules. Silanols are thus not only one of the best silicon carriers, but can also be combined with other molecules traditionally used in therapeutics.
In this case, the role of the silanols is thus to involve other molecules (this role can be compared with that of "locomotive" drawing coaches).
