Facts and Information
Science-backed insights about silica nutrition, wellness, and our products.
Amorphous vs crystalline silica
Amorphous silica has no repeating crystal structure. A Pure ASP+ sample analysed by Microanalysis Australia recorded 97.1% amorphous silica and 0.05% crystalline silica.
ASP+ vs collagen products
ASP+ is a vegan Algae Siliceous Powder meal. It is not a collagen protein powder; silica plays a separate role in collagen formation in hair, skin and bone.
How ASP+ is tested
A submitted ASP+ sample was analysed by Microanalysis Australia using XRD on 17 June 2024: 97.1% amorphous silica and 0.05% crystalline silica.
Silica dosage and safety
Mix ASP+ with liquid; do not consume it dry. FSANZ states the highest recommended daily dosage of Algae Siliceous Powder is 5 grams. Products are food-grade, not TGA medicines.
