In this second chapter, we are going to address the controversial topic of osteoarticular diseases of an inflammatory and degenerative nature that has a high incidence and a frequent feedback in advanced age and high social and health costs. We will focus our attention on the description of the pathogenic processes responsible for osteoarticular diseases, highlighting the fundamental role that collagen degenerations play in these. We are going to examine various options proposed for the prevention and treatment of diseases indicated with medications and food supplements. We are going to present a special description on the effects of Silicon, in particular, Organic Silicon G5, on these pathologies, until now poorly considered, and we will propose our own formulation composed of Silicon G5 plus trace elements. Finally, we are going to show the results obtained with this formulation on a consistent patient case history.

Thanks to the results obtained, we propose to adopt our supplement, as an alternative or as an adjuvant treatment, to the drugs most used drugs in these diseases with the double advantage of reducing the dosage and the side effects of the latter, and improving its anti-inflammatory effectiveness with the synergistic activity obtainable with the two principals.
