Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Naturally Silicon-Rich Water on Bone Metabolism in Women (NCT NCT01067508)

NCT ID: NCT01067508

Last Updated: 2019-07-23

Results Overview

Change from baseline in silicon absorption in response to silicon-rich water (Fiji) supplementation for 12 weeks was determined by measuring urinary solicon concentration (mg/mg) normalized to creatinine.
