The "4:1" ratio indicates that four parts of the raw herb are used to produce one part of this potent extract, offering a convenient way to incorporate silica into your daily routine. Silica is a trace mineral that contributes to the structure of connective tissues, bones, and skin. This powder is a pure, single-ingredient product with no additional substances.
