Silicon Dioxide is most often recognized in the form of quartz. It’s found naturally in water, plants, animals, and the earth. The earth’s crust is 59 percent silica. It makes up more than 95 percent of known rocks on the planet. It’s even found naturally in the tissues of the human body. In fact, our bodies use Silica to support the development of our bones, connective tissues, and more, and it’s thought to be an essential nutrient our bodies need. Silicon dioxide is found naturally in many plants, such as: leafy green vegetables, fruit, beetroot, bell peppers, brown rice, oats, alfalfa, fish, water, to mention just a few. Silicon Dioxide used as an ingredient may be labelled as Silica, Silicon Dioxide, Synthetic Amorphous Silica (SAS), or E551. Our bodies recognize and process naturally occurring silicon dioxide and SAS or E551 in the same way because they are chemically identical. Silicon should not be confused with silicone, a plastic material that contains silicon and other chemicals used to make breast implants, medical tubing and other medical devices. Use & Benefits: Silicon Dioxide is added to many foods and supplements. As a food additive, it serves as an anticaking agent to avoid clumping. In supplements, it’s used to prevent the various powdered ingredients from sticking together. Silicon Dioxide is also commonly found in cosmetics. Many manufacturers add small amounts of anti-caking agents like Silicon Dioxide to products they want to keep free-flowing. These anti-caking agents coat individual particles, thus separating the particles from each other so a crystal bridge does not form and cause clumping. Silicon Dioxide may help ensure a product’s shelf life, protect against the effects of moisture. It also functions as a defoaming agent, carrier, conditioning agent, chill-proofing agent in malt beverages (like beer) and filter aid. It’s also used to manufacture materials such as adhesives and paper for food-packaging materials. As a direct additive, per regulatory standards, levels of Silicon Dioxide cannot exceed 2% by weight of the food, and as an indirect additive, it can only be used in the amount required to produce the intended functional effect. Add 2% or less to prevent caking in the following applications:Spices, brown sugar, cake mixtures, sports supplements and protein powders, ideal for hygroscopic powders that tend to clump up. Some key benefits are:- Highly concentrated- Food Grade additive - Supports anti-caking- Supports free flowing powder- Improves shelf life- Contains no artificial colours or flavours- Pharmaceutical Grade (USP)- Non GMO - Non Genetically Modified- Vegan friendly Specifications:Appearance: White / off-white fine powder, no characteristic odour, no characteristic taste.
