Why is there choline in choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid?

Biosil® employs our patented choline-stabilization technology because years of research have proven choline to be the ideal stabilizer of orthosilicic acid (OSA). Not only does choline stabilize OSA, it also has several vital biological benefits:

  1. Choline is a precursor of phospholipids, which are essential in building cell membranes.†
  2. Choline is involved in cell signalling (e.g., neurotransmitters like acetylcholine), liver health, and lipid metabolism.†
  3. Choline protects collagen from homocysteine, which is known to degrade collagen. Choline converts homocysteine into methionine, a beneficial amino acid.†

In the USA, federal regulations require that we state the “elemental” or “theoretically pure” amount of each nutrient and disclose the form of that nutrient. Each recommended dose of Biosil® contains 100 mg of elemental choline in the form of choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid.
