Summary

In this Mighty Minerals episode, Jared takes a deep dive into silica's role in collagen production, connective tissue health, bone strength, cardiovascular wellness, and healthy aging. He explains why modern diets may provide less silica than previous generations, how aging can affect silica status, and why form matters when it comes to bioavailability. Jared also discusses common food sources, the impact of soil depletion and food processing, the relationship between silica and aluminum exposure, and the differences between bamboo silica, horsetail, and orthosilicic acid. If you're interested in supporting healthy skin, hair, nails, bones, arteries, and connective tissues as you age, this episode offers practical insights into one of nature's most underappreciated minerals.
