When it comes to hydration, most products focus solely on replenishing electrolytes. At KONO, we take a more comprehensive approach by incorporating silica from bamboo and trace minerals from unrefined Utah sea salt and magnesium from pristine Ireland seawater. Silica, a vital yet often overlooked trace element, plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid balance, supporting cellular hydration, nutrient transport, and waste removal.
A key ingredient in our formula is silica from bamboo extract, nature’s richest source. Silica is the third most abundant trace element in the body and is essential for skin regeneration due to its ability to retain water. Consistent supplementation helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin, giving it a natural glow. Since the skin is the body’s largest organ, proper hydration at this level is vital.
Silica also enhances connective tissue and skin hydration by stimulating water-binding molecules called glycosaminoglycans, which can hold nearly 1,000 times their weight in water. This, combined with essential electrolytes and trace minerals, optimizes hydration absorption and retention, making our formula one of the most effective hydration solutions available.
Beyond skin health, silica plays a structural role within collagen, acting as a glue for connective tissues. It also helps balance key minerals like calcium and magnesium, further supporting electrolyte function. Since silica production, like collagen, declines around age 25, supplementation becomes increasingly beneficial.
Silica’s benefits extend to oxygen transport as well, assisting red blood cells in carrying more oxygen—an advantage for both hydration and physical performance.
Interstitial fluid fills the spaces between cells, acting as a conduit for nutrient and waste exchange between blood vessels and tissues. This fluid is essential for maintaining hydration, pressure balance, and overall cellular function. By supporting proper hydration at this level, our formula ensures that every cell in your body receives the nutrients it needs to thrive.
By incorporating silica and essential trace minerals into our hydration formula, we’re not just quenching thirst—we’re nourishing your body at the cellular level for optimal hydration and overall health.
