Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to Sodium orthosilicate (CAS RN 13472-30-5). Orthosilicic acid (OSA), also known as “silicic acid (H4SiO4)”, is the natural form of silicon (Si) formed by the hydration of silicon dioxide (SiO2). Dietary silicon deficiency can be overcome by the consumption of high-bioavailability Si-rich foods and the use of Si supplements. A good form of supplementation is OSA, usually stabilized by the introduction of a methyl group such as choline (ch-OSA) or vanillin (vc-OSA). Orthosilicic acid (OSA) is naturally found in diatomaceous earth in the form of amorphous silica and extracts from Si-rich plants, such as horsetail (Eguiseti herba Linnée) and nettles (Urtica dioica L.). Silicon (Si) is a microelement that performs a number of important functions in the human body, being involved in the formation and maintenance of normal osteocartilaginous connective tissue, such as skin, hair, and nails, and having beneficial effects in the prevention of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
