There are many technologies today to improve the recovery and healing of athletes. One can for example fix tendons, reduce a patellar load thanks to splints. The food supplements to improve recovery and performance are also increasingly widespread among athletes.

Stéphane Penso comes back to this famous organic silicon: marketing stunt, miracle cure? 

Today we are going to talk about organic silicon, the objective of which is to activate and accelerate the process of internal regeneration, and thereby consolidate the rehabilitation.

Organic silicon, what is it?

It is a trace element present in the body and in certain plants. It is one of the most present elements in the earth's crust after oxygen. It is important for the immune system as well as the maintenance of good bone health. Its action helps to fix calcium and fight against bone demineralization. It relieves various bone, joint and skin conditions. Our body would normally contain 7 grams of organic silicon, but our current diet in modern culture is low in nutrients and this directly impacts our health.

Le organic silicon has been proven in correcting deficiencies or excess in nutrients that trigger many chronic problems, which will subsequently be disabling and above all very long to heal.

What is its real use?

Athletes have always been confronted with problems related to injuries, it is not new! There are, as we said earlier, suitable healing methods for every injury. However, in certain specific cases the pains, whether real (or phantom), persist, and create a form of frustration among athletes who can no longer see the end of the tunnel.

Health professionals therefore face athletes with a total loss of confidence, and who, out of a state of despair, do not hesitate to continue their training without taking into account the pain that follows.

However, the The basic principle of any therapist is to find and reverse the ORIGIN of the problem. 

Since our body requires a certain supply of nutrients when producing the slightest activity, imagine what it needs after a sustained effort. This is where silicon comes in, which is more complete than conventional proteins and which will stimulate the production of collagen. Since collagen is one of the essential fibrous proteins of the connective tissue components that form strong fiber bundles, it helps strengthen all joints, bones, etc.

Silicon is an active ingredient that helps maintain overall good shape, making it a great ally for athletes who want to perform at their best. If we manage to maintain sufficient levels of this element in our body, we will achieve greater elasticity of our tissues. et of our joints. Silicon acts very positively on cell membranes, making them less vulnerable and thus delaying their aging.

When and how to take it?

Organic silicon (ideally liquid) is a solution that is taken about 10 minutes before a meal and helps produce up to 20% more collagen, resulting in more elasticity, flexibility, relief fatigue, improve oxygenation and help to relax. There is not really a recommended dose of silicon in the form of a supplement, but it is commonly accepted to take 2 x 15ml per day in the form of a cure (when the bottle is finished wait at least 3 weeks before making another one other).

It has been proven that Organic Silicon strengthens the immune system (silicon triggers the production of antigens and antibodies of the immune system and prevents cell aging. But it also benefits from a painkiller and anti-inflammatory function (its analgesic action allows to relieve certain pains such as cramps and contractures, muscle tears, bruises and hematomas). decadent to see this supplement spread on a wider scale in the years to come.
