Amorphous silica is a non-crystalline form of silicon dioxide. Unlike crystalline silica, it does not have a repeating crystal structure. Pure Biokeyz ASP+ is Algae Siliceous Powder sourced from a Queensland diatom deposit and independently measured at 97.1% amorphous silica by XRD.
How it forms
Diatoms are microscopic algae that build their cell walls from silica drawn out of the water around them. As generations of diatoms settled on the floor of ancient freshwater lakes, those silica shells accumulated layer on layer into what is now called diatomaceous earth.
The Queensland deposit Pure Biokeyz draws from sits inland, where the material has stayed dry and undisturbed. That stability is part of why the silica has kept its amorphous structure rather than converting to a crystalline form.
What is inside ASP+
Pure ASP+ Collagen Boost contains a single ingredient: Algae Siliceous Powder (ASP+). There are no fillers, flavours, sweeteners or additives. Each box contains 30 individually packed 0.75 g sachets.
The raw material is selectively extracted, dried and milled. There is no chemical extraction and nothing is added — the powder that goes into each sachet is the deposit itself, cleaned and sized.
