CONCLUSION Spherical silicate derivatives have unique properties on mineral, ion and electrolyte transport. The ability of these particles (50-100 Angstroms or less) to further provide the unique characteristics of reduced water that generate reduced hydrogen may be important in the process of reducing oxygen free radicals produced in the digestive system or throughout the body. Research has indicated that the role of water in the diet is as diverse as it is fundamental. Water supports all biochemical reactions in tissues and cells, is the transport fluid in living systems, and is the medium where life begins. Water soluble silicate crystals can hydrogen bond up to three layers of water molecules [12]. A secondary conductivity layer is established by the orderly arrangement of hydrogen atoms surrounding the silicate crystal and pass electrons from one hydrogen atom to the next [12]. This electronic charge attracts ions such as H+, Fe3+, Ca2+, Na+ and others, especially in the outer layers [1,12]. The structure established is conducive to holding electrons or reduced hydrogen, providing electrons thought to be available to reduce free radicals in the digestive tract and possibly internally.
