Osteosil

Osteosil is a food supplement made with horsetail extract and calcium.

The bone tissue is subjected to a continuous remodelling process, which is the result of a complex series of events that involve the action of numerous cell types: osteoclasts and osteoblasts, respectively active in bone resorption and bone formation, osteocytes, endothelial cells, hematopoietic and stromal cells of the bone matrix.
This turnover never stops completely, and its speed could vary depending on bones.

The bone tissue has an organic matrix, ​​made up of collagen fibres (produced by osteoblasts in fibrils) and proteoglycans.
Calcium and Silicon supplement helps to maintain the integrity of bones, hair, nails, and skin.

Osteosil is a specific remedy for the bones. Calcium and Silicon help to improve or restore bone’s health. The bone tissue undergoes to a continuous process of remodelling that never stops completely. After the age of 30, there is a negative balance with a loss of calcium around -2% per year.

Take Osteosil for lack of calcium intake, malabsorption, fractures, surgery, replacement of teeth (implants), menopause, osteoporosis, etc. cases in which it may be necessary to take food supplements that help bone remodelling.

The progressive quantitative and qualitative reduction of bone mass, without changes in the ratio between organic and mineral components, is called osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is mainly related to the lengthening of the average life span of the population but recognizes other factors:

-reduction of gonadal function (menopause)
-a diet low in calcium and silicon or excessive sodium intake and a sedentary lifestyle
-high and prolonged alcohol intake
-high and prolonged intake of coffee

Osteosil helps to activate the physiological processes of new bone formation and is recommended in case of reduction in bone mass:

-Osteomalacia
-Osteoporosis
-Arthritic or post-traumatic bone degeneration
-Immobilization from bone fractures
-orthopaedic surgery
-dental surgery, and guided bone regeneration

The benefits of Calcium and Silicon

Calcium: it is the quantitatively most present element in the human body. Calcium has an important role in the formation of the bone tissue in which it is mainly present, as well as in skeletal structures. Calcium is localized in teeth and inorganic liquids where it carries out important actions in blood coagulation, in the regulation of heart rhythm, muscles, nerves and other functions in the permeability of membranes. The deposition of calcium in bone tissue is influenced and regulated by enzymes, Vitamin D, the activity of the thyroid gland, and body's metabolism. The food with the highest calcium intake is Parmesan cheese. Other foods are milk, eggs, beans, turnips, hazelnuts, almonds, etc. while meat, flour, potatoes, bananas, butter are low in calcium.

Silicon: contributes to the constitution of bones and cartilages, favouring the process of bone formation and mineralization thanks to the absorption of calcium in a way that is free from Vitamin D. Fundamental in the phases of growth, it supports mineralization and the reconstruction of bone tissue even in case of a fracture. It is useful in the presence of osteoporosis and arthritis, but also arthrosis and rheumatic diseases, in old age and in menopause together with Vitamin B.

Foods rich in silicon are whole grains and green leafy vegetables such as chard and spinach, as well as fresh legumes and soy. A natural source is Horsetail, extraordinarily rich in silicon, used in herbal medicine.
