Silica hydride has been shown to have a reducing potential 6rH units greater than that of vitamin C, ubiquinone (CoQ10 ), or b-carotene.
It is t is a hydride-based compound with H− ions interstitially embedded in a matrix of caged silica. This compound exhibits profoundly different characteristics than other known compounds in hydride family
We can quote Bryan_S :
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Silica Hydride?"There is no meaningful evidence to indicate that silica hydride products offer any health benefits."
"From the point of view of standard chemistry, however, the notion of enhancing health through hydride ions is highly problematic. A hydride is a hydrogen ion that carries two extra electrons, making it negatively charged. In its natural state, a hydrogen ion possesses no electrons and, therefore, carries a positive charge. When a hydrogen ion is forced to carry extra electrons, it becomes highly unstable and highly reactive. Hydrides are, in fact, so reactive that as soon as they contact a molecule of water they rip the water molecule to pieces. The result: the hydride disappears, leaving behind hydrogen gas (a substance that, within the body, is relatively inert) and hydroxide ions (the essence of alkalinity, and the active ingredient in Draino). Thus, if “silica hydride” supplements really did provide hydride ions, the ions would instantly disappear the moment they contacted anything moist, such as the mouth, the stomach, or the intestines. During its short existence, the hydride would have no time to act as an antioxidant or perform any other functions. It would simply leave behind a residue of alkalinity, a goal that could be accomplished more easily by, for example, consuming baking soda." http://therapy.epnet...chunkiid=214756
But Im not sure the quote from Bryan is correct :
Still, it was shown to exerce vivo effect: a double blind Placebo Study validating the hydration ability of Silica Hydride :
A double-blind controlled study against placebo was performed on 8 patients who received 4 capsules daily Megahydrin ™ for four weeks and then received four weeks for two capsules of placebo. The results showed that supplementation increases the intra- and extracellular moisture. During supplementation, all of the water contained in the body has increased by 2.7%. Other parameters of hydration of the organism are also high: the cell body mass increased by 2%, the extra-cellular tissue by 1.5% and the intra-cellular water of 3%.
The body cell mass (BDC) and intracellular water are respectively assessments intracellular volume and water within the cells. Extracellular water is the fluid that bathes the cells. It is an indicator of the cellular integrity and represents approximately 60% of the total body water of a healthy individual. The intracellular water is higher in babies and lessens in adulthood or the loss of cell mass. Of healthy tissues contain water in their cells.
