Silica is an essential trace mineral that plays a biological role in the processes by which bone, cartilage, connective tissue and skin are formed and is a component of collagen. 25 million American women suffer from osteoporosis, an increase of eight million during the past six years. That's an epidemic!! Each year there are more than 400,000 hip replacements in America and 80,000 women die each year due to complications from osteoporosis. This preventable disease afflicts three out of every four women over the age of 65 and is not part of the "normal aging process"!

As reported in the Swedish newspaper, Halsoblast, many well known stars use Prof. Kervran's silica: Joan Collins, Goldie Hawn and Barbra Streisand all credit their youthful skin to Prof. Kervran's vegetal silica. ALTA Health Products is the largest manufacturer of Prof. Kervran's vegetal Silica and has been using only his finest process for 30 years. Thirty Years of Integrity come with every bottle of ALTA SILICA and each and every bottle contains that special water soluble extract from European springtime Horsetail. It is this process that makes ALTA SILICA the Star's friend, proving very beneficial for thick hair, strong nails and firm, supple, young looking skin! Organic Silica was originally brought to the United States in 1972 by Dr. Richard Barmakian, founder of Alta Health Products. Under the guidance of biophysicist and Nobel Prize nominee Professor Louis C. Kervran. Prof. Kervran's process chelates, or bonds vegetal silica to a group of water-soluble bioflavonoids. These organic compounds take silica and guide it through the intestinal wall to the bloodstream. Inorganic silica is NOT ABSORBED by the human body! Testimonial evidence abounds that ALTA's Silica improves hair, nails and skin! Dr. Barmakian was so sure of the Kervran difference that he provided it to the Las Vegas Show Girls in 1972. Sales of ALTA SILICA have remained constant, in relation to growth, in the Vegas area for the past 30 years and have taken off all over the country. The Kervran process utilizes the silica-rich European springtime horsetail (Equisetum urvense) with a unique aqueous extraction method that neutralizes the alkaloids in the horsetail. Dr. E. M. Carlisle's studies indicate that vegetal silica helps calcium, and possibly phosphorus, find its way to bones, hair and cartilage (Silicon, in Biochemistry of the Essential Ultratrace Elements, E. Frieden ed., Plenum Press, NY., NY., 1984). Both Kervran and Carlisle present evidence that silica may have what it takes to remineralize calcium into the bone, thus supporting the body's power to prevent osteoporosis! Dr. Barmakian called this Silica the Original Internal Cosmetic. |
