Mesoporosil® & Bloosil®: Connecting Structural Wellness and Beauty

Consumers often think of bone health and beauty as separate categories. What many don't realize is that bones, skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, hair, and nails all rely on a strong connective tissue framework built largely upon collagen.

While collagen receives much of the attention in today's supplement market, collagen synthesis and stabilization depend on key cofactors, one of the most important being silicon.

Silicon helps support:

  • Collagen synthesis and maturation
  • Collagen cross-linking
  • Connective tissue strength and resilience
  • Skin hydration and elasticity
  • Bone matrix formation and mineralization
  • Hair and nail structural integrity

Without adequate amounts of silicon, collagen cannot fully perform its structural role, creating an opportunity for innovative formulations that can outperform today's beauty and joint supplements.



Mesoporosil®

A New Standard in Silicon Bioavailability

Mesoporosil® soluble silicon shown as a fine white powder

One of the challenges associated with traditional silicon ingredients is limited absorption. Many silica sources exhibit poor solubility, reducing the amount of silicon available for utilization by the body.

Mesoporosil® was developed to overcome these limitations. It is a highly advanced, low-dose silicon ingredient developed using proprietary technology to ensure delivery in its soluble and bioavailable form. Unlike conventional silicon dioxide or many powdered orthosilicic acid ingredients, Mesoporosil® is engineered to remain stable and bioavailable throughout the digestive process. Upon reaching the intestines after being broken down in the stomach, it arrives as orthosilicic acid and is designed so it does not polymerize back into the insoluble form. Its unique mesoporous structure also provides an extraordinary amount of surface area that enhances silicon exposure to the intestinal wall, which increases its likelihood of absorption.

Clinical Research Results

A human clinical study evaluated Mesoporosil® supplementation in women with visible signs of aging over 84 days.

Key Findings

  • 72.7% reported firmer, more hydrated skin
  • 68.2% reported improvements in skin elasticity and radiance
  • 50% observed visible wrinkle reduction
  • 77.3% expressed overall satisfaction with the results
  • 72.7% indicated willingness to continue using the product
Key results: 72.7% firmer more hydrated skin, 68.2% improved elasticity and radiance, 50% visible wrinkle reduction, 77.3% overall satisfaction, 72.7% willing to continue

Why Mesoporosil?

Compared to other forms of silicon, Mesoporosil offers superior solubility.

  • 4x greater than orthosilicic acid
  • 9x greater than red algae silicium
  • 20x greater than horsetail

Bloosil®

Plant-Based Silicon with Enhanced Bioavailability

Young bamboo shoots — the plant source of Bloosil® silicon

Bloosil® is a proprietary silicon ingredient derived from bamboo through a specialized extraction process designed to improve solubility and absorption.

While many bamboo-derived silicon ingredients simply supply silica from plant material, Bloosil® is a plant-based silicon ingredient manufactured from carefully selected bamboo shoot sources. This distinction is important because the silica naturally present in the bamboo has a mesoporous structure and high solubility. Through selective sourcing and a controlled manufacturing process, Bloosil® delivers plant-based silicon in a form designed to support improved absorption.

Silicon's Role in Bone Health

Although silicon is frequently discussed in beauty applications, its importance extends far beyond the skin.

Emerging research continues to demonstrate silicon's role in:

  • Osteoblast proliferation and differentiation
  • Type I collagen synthesis
  • Bone matrix formation
  • Bone mineralization
  • Connective tissue support

Data from the Framingham Offspring Cohort demonstrated a positive association between higher silicon levels and greater bone mineral density at the hip and lumbar spine.

By supporting both collagen formation and mineralization, bioavailable silicon represents a valuable complement to traditional bone health ingredients such as calcium and vitamin D.
