SILICON RICH WATER—A THERAPY for GUT HEALTH and IMMUNE SYSTEM

Scientists from Taiwan revealed the importance of regularly drinking silicon(silica) rich mineral water as a powerful antioxidant for gut health involving gastrointestinal function, and gut microbiota modulation.

The authors found that administration of silicon(silica) rich water can protect against gastric damage, oxidative stress and inflammation possibly through the antioxidant enzymes, Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) activity.They also verified that drinking silicon (silica) rich water increased some beneficial bacteria and decreased some harmful bacteria, showing potential of silicon(silica) rich water functioning as a prebiotic.

In their conclusion, they said that for the first time, this research evidenced the beneficial effects of silicon(silica) rich water on gastrointestinal function and gut microbiota, which demonstrated the therapeutic potential of silicon (silica) rich water for the prevention or treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

 Nevertheless, further studies are still required to identify the exact underlying mechanism of silicon(silica) rich water consumption against gastrointestinal disorders.

COMMENTS:

This study used different concentrations of silica at 3.7, 7.7, 15.3 and 37.4 mg/litre. The best result was obtained with silica concentration of 37.4 mg/litre. This implies that SPRITZER with a silica content of around 54mg/litre may conferred better outcomes. SPRITZER, therapeutic amount was tested by two universities in UK viz Cambridge and Keele.

So daily drinking of a silicon(silica) rich mineral water may improve your gut health which lead to stronger immune system. Your immune system and gut microbiome share a symbiotic relationship and your immune function is largely dependent on the state of your gut. A healthy gut implies a healthy immune system.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a strong healthy immune system is so crucial to our defence against this virus.

As we need to drink at least 1.5 litre or more of good quality water daily for our hydration needs to keep us at optimal performance, why not include a silicon(silica) rich mineral water like SPRITZER with the added bonus of gut health. Other benefits of drinking silicon(silica) rich mineral water are:
