What is organic silicon?
Organic silicon is a bioavailable form of silicon, the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust after oxygen. Unlike mineral silicon found in rocks and crystals, organic silicon has a molecular structure that allows optimal assimilation by the human body.
Scientific definition
Organic silicon refers to compounds where silicon is bonded to carbon molecules, creating structures that living cells can assimilate. The most bioavailable and studied form is MMST (Monomethylsilanetriol), with a bioavailability of approximately 80%.
MMST chemical formula: CH3-Si(OH)3
Silicon in the human body
The adult body contains approximately 7 grams of silicon, concentrated mainly in:
Connective tissues
Bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments — structure and resistance
Nervous system
Brain, nerves — nerve impulse transmission
Skin and appendages
Epidermis, hair, nails — elasticity and growth
Cardiovascular system
Arterial walls — suppleness and resistance
The natural decline of silicon with age
From the age of 25-30, our body begins to lose its silicon reserves progressively and irreversibly. This decline accelerates with age:
- At 40: 30-40% loss of initial reserves
- At 60: 50-60% loss of initial reserves
- At 80: 70-80% loss of initial reserves
History and discovery of organic silicon MMST
1957: The innovation of Dr. Norbert Duffaut
The history of modern organic silicon begins in 1957 in Bordeaux, in the laboratory of Dr. Norbert Duffaut. A visionary organic chemist, he achieved the first stable synthesis of Monomethylsilanetriol (MMST), thus creating the most bioavailable form of silicon ever developed.
This revolutionary discovery made it possible for the first time to obtain an organic silicon that was stable, water-soluble, and perfectly assimilable by the human body. Duffaut's work laid the scientific foundations for all modern organic silicons.

MMST vs other forms of silicon: the complete comparison
Not all forms of silicon are equal. Bioavailability — the body's ability to absorb them — varies enormously depending on the molecular form.
| Form of silicon | Bioavailability | Stability | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MMST (Monomethylsilanetriol) | 80% | Excellent | Maximum bioavailability, crosses blood-brain barrier | High production cost |
| Stabilized orthosilicic acid | 60% | Good | Good assimilation, moderate cost | Limited stability over time |
| Colloidal silicon | 40% | Medium | Easy to produce | Variable bioavailability |
| Plant silica (horsetail, bamboo) | 5-10% | Very good | Natural, affordable | Very low assimilation |
| Mineral silica | < 1% | Perfect | Very affordable | Virtually unusable by the body |
Why is MMST superior?
Optimal molecular structure
Its small size allows it to cross all biological barriers
Exceptional stability
Does not degrade and retains its properties over time
Maximum bioavailability
80% assimilation vs 5-10% for plant forms
Scientifically proven benefits of organic silicon
After more than 60 years of research, the benefits of organic silicon are now thoroughly documented in the international scientific literature. Here is a comprehensive overview of the demonstrated actions.

Dosages and usage protocols for organic silicon
The effectiveness of organic silicon largely depends on following appropriate dosages and consistency. Here are the protocols validated by clinical experience.
Recommended base protocol
Attack phase (D1-D30)
3 x 25 ml per day
Spread across the day, preferably on an empty stomach (morning, noon, evening). Rapid tissue saturation.
Maintenance phase (for life)
25 ml per day
Daily continuous intake, ideally in the morning on an empty stomach. Maintains optimal levels.
