    Summary

    Soluble silicium salts significantly increase trabecular bone volume (TBV) in both oral and injectable forms. Supplementation also boosted lymphocyte and immunoglobulin levels in patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomineralization and Bone Metabolism
    • Immunology and Cellular Biology

    Context:

    • Osteoporosis and bone density loss are significant health concerns.
    • The role of trace elements in bone health is an area of active research.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the effects of soluble silicium on trabecular bone volume (TBV).
    • To assess the impact of silicium supplementation on immune markers, including lymphocytes and immunoglobulins.

    Summary:

    • Administration of soluble silicium, in both drinkable and injectable forms, led to a significant increase in trabecular bone volume (TBV) compared to controls.
    • Patients treated with silicium exhibited elevated levels of circulating lymphocytes and immunoglobulins (particularly IgG) relative to a control group.

    Impact:

    • Silicium supplementation shows potential as a therapeutic strategy for enhancing bone density.
    • These findings suggest silicium may also positively modulate the immune system, warranting further investigation.
