Living Silica™ – Silica for collagen
Living Silica™ Acacia Gum-OSA from Greatlife is the best form of silica we’ve found. It’s a high-quality, well-researched silica in the form of orthosilicic acid (OSA), the biologically active form that the body can naturally absorb. Silica plays a central role in connective tissue and is linked to the structure of skin, hair, nails, bones, and joints. Living Silica™ has traditionally been used to support connective tissue, collagen-related processes, and overall tissue health. Unlike simpler silica supplements, Living Silica™ Acacia Gum-OSA stands out for its high purity and carefully selected raw material. This supplement is clean, free from additives, toxins, and GMOs.
For best results, we recommend taking Living Silica™ Acacia Gum-OSA on an empty stomach, for example in the morning or between meals, for optimal absorption. If you have a sensitive stomach, it can also be taken with a light meal. The product can be used daily and is suitable both for long-term connective tissue support and as a supplement when your body has increased needs.
Biologically, Living Silica™ works by providing silica in its monomeric form, which allows for effective absorption in the digestive tract. Silica is involved in the body’s collagen and connective tissue metabolism as well as structural stability in skin, bones, and joints. Orthosilicic acid is the form of silica naturally found in the body and can be used directly at the cellular level.
Why Living Silica™?
Living Silica™ Acacia Gum-OSA has several unique properties compared to many other silica supplements:
Support for connective tissue and collagen-related processes
- Silica plays a role in the body’s collagen and connective tissue metabolism.
- It’s linked to the structure of skin, nails, hair, and joints.
High absorption and good bioavailability
- Orthosilicic acid is the monomeric form of silica that the body can absorb directly.
- Living Silica™ has significantly higher bioavailability than plant-based silica forms.
Stabilized for function and longevity
- Acacia gum stabilizes the orthosilicic acid, preserving its active form.
- This ensures consistent absorption and good tolerance.

What is Living Silica™ – Silica for collagen?
Living Silica™ Acacia Gum-OSA is a dietary supplement that contains silica in the form of orthosilicic acid (OSA), a biologically active form that the body can absorb effectively. Silica is a trace element associated with the body's connective tissue and structural tissues, including skin, hair, nails, joints, and bones. Living Silica™ is often used as support for collagen-related processes and tissue health.
What is silicon and why is it important for the body?
Silicon is a natural trace element found in the body's connective tissue and plays a role in the structure of skin, bones, cartilage, and blood vessels. Research suggests that silicon is involved in processes related to collagen formation and connective tissue metabolism. Collagen is one of the body's most important structural proteins and contributes to the strength and elasticity of skin, joints, and connective tissue.
What is orthosilicic acid (OSA)?
Orthosilicic acid is the biologically active form of silicon that occurs naturally in the body and in certain foods. This monomeric form of silicon can be absorbed directly in the gastrointestinal tract and utilized in the body's tissues. Many simpler silicon supplements contain silicon in forms that have significantly lower bioavailability.
What makes Living Silica™ Acacia Gum-OSA particularly bioavailable?
Living Silica™ contains orthosilicic acid stabilized with acacia gum. Stabilization is important because orthosilicic acid can otherwise polymerize and become harder for the body to absorb. The acacia gum helps keep the silica in its monomeric and biologically active form, which contributes to better absorption and stability.
How does Living Silica™ differ from other silica supplements?
Many silica supplements on the market are based on plant extracts such as horsetail or silica-rich minerals, where absorption is very limited. Living Silica™ instead contains orthosilicic acid, the form of silica that the body can naturally utilize. The stabilized form provides significantly higher bioavailability and better absorption.
What role does silica play for collagen?
Silica is linked to processes involving collagen and connective tissue. Collagen is an important structural protein found in skin, joints, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Adequate levels of silica are therefore relevant for tissue structure and the body's natural repair processes.
Can silica contribute to skin, hair, and nails?
Since silica is linked to connective tissue and collagen, silica supplements are used to support the structure of the skin as well as for hair and nails. Collagen and connective tissue play an important role in the elasticity of the skin and the strength of hair and nails.
Is silicon important for joints and bones?
Silicon is naturally found in bone tissue and cartilage and is linked to the body's structural tissues. Therefore, it is a substance that is often included in supplements used to support bones, joints, and connective tissue.
How should Living Silica™ be taken for optimal absorption?
For optimal absorption, it is recommended that Living Silica™ be taken with or without food. If you have a sensitive stomach, the capsule can also be taken with a light meal.
What does Living Silica™ from Greatlife contain?
Each capsule contains 10 mg of silica in the form of Living Silica™ Acacia Gum-OSA. The product contains no unnecessary additives and the capsule is made of vegetable Vcaps® Plus.
Is Living Silica™ free from additives and allergens?
Yes, the product is free from dairy, soy, sugar, gluten, and GMOs. It also does not contain artificial colors, preservatives, sweeteners, hydrogenated oils, or magnesium stearate.
Is the product suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, Living Silica™ from Greatlife is completely plant-based and the capsule is made from Vcaps® Plus, making the product suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
How is Living Silica™ packaged?
The product is delivered in a dark glass jar that protects the contents from light and oxidation. The glass is free from BPA, phthalates, and other endocrine disruptors.
