This section is an early WIP. 

When complete, the intention is to provide information on sources and methods to produce cheap daily DIY micronutrients, where there is a desire and capacity to do so.

Silica

Silica is a highly essential nutrient and a little more complicated than others, as it plays different roles depending on the form. 


Oligomeric silica very poorly absorbs, only slightly converts into a monomeric form that does absorb, however is useful for removing aluminium, acetaldehyde and various toxins from the gut.

Monomeric silica
absorbs well and helps systemic repletion - which is sacrificed for aluminium and acetaldehyde, etc. removal, but these forms of silica tend to be unusually expensive to source.

.. much more coming soon.
