Beer is
a rich source of silicon and may help prevent osteoporosis - Science Daily,
2/8/10 - "Silicon is present in beer in the soluble form
of orthosilicic acid (OSA), which yields 50% bioavailability, making beer a
major contributor to silicon intake in the Western diet. According to the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), dietary silicon (Si), as soluble OSA, may
be important for the growth and development of bone and connective tissue, and
beer appears to be a major contributor to Si intake. Based on these findings,
some studies suggest moderate beer consumption may help fight
osteoporosis, a
disease of the skeletal system characterized by low bone mass and deterioration
of bone tissue" - See
Jarrow BioSil at iHerb
(it says "Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles by 19%").
I put ten drops of it in my coffee every morning.

Moderate beer intake may cut Alzheimer's risk: study - Nutra USA,
12/17/07 - "After three months the researchers
report that animals receiving the supplementary silicon, whether from beer
or the silicic acid, had significantly lower
blood aluminium levels, and higher faecal excretion of aluminium ... The
lower blood levels resulted in slower accumulation of aluminium in the
tissue, including the brain, which could have benefits for the prevention of
Alzheimer's"

groups receiving six and 12mg of silicon, the improvements were
“significant""

Silicon May Play Important Role in Bone Health - Doctor's Guide, 9/27/05
- "Silicon, taken as
choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA) supplementation, might help
improve bone health and type I collagen synthesis ... the benefits were
especially apparent when evaluating changes in PINP, the most sensitive bone
formation marker, and resulted in significant improvements after 12 months
amongst the subjects in the six and 12 mg silicon groups"
