The advantage of silicolgel exists in the large and highly reactive surface of silicic acid. When taken internally, it forms a protective and soothing coating over the lining of the stomach and intestines.
FW Medical Silicolgel contains silicic acid which is a compound of the mineral substance silicon and oxygen in a colloidal (highly dispersable) and hydrated form. Gastrointestinal disorders are usually caused by irritants and by harmful and toxic substances as well as pathogens.
Due to the adaptive or binding properties of colloidal silicic acid, it physically absorbs or binds irritants and harmful and toxic substances as well as pathogens. This renders them harmless so that they can be removed naturally through the intestines and out of the body. Silicic acid can also bind gases and reduce excess acidity.
FW Medical is a British consumer healthcare company with headquarters in Glasgow. The therapeutic focus of the company is gastrointestinal health as well as skincare.
