MMST is also commonly referred to as Organic Silicon (as agreed with The European Commission during our Novel Food application process) and is the active moiety of ‘G5®’. MMST stands for ‘monomethylsilanetriol’. In fact, the molecule looks very like natural, dietary derived silicon (which is ‘orthosilicic acid’) but with one small but important difference. For MMST, a hydroxide group (that is oxygen plus hydrogen) has been replaced by a methyl group (that is carbon plus three hydrogens). The Carbon (C)-Silicon (Si) linkage is one of very high energy and it also imparts some special characteristics to the molecule. This can be observed when one looks at the ‘electric charge’ or ‘energy’ surrounding the MMST molecule.

One of the unique properties of MMST is its amphiphilic nature, meaning it can interact with both water and lipids. This dual functionality allows MMST to move seamlessly through the body’s different environments—penetrating water-based fluids and lipid membranes alike. This characteristic makes MMST an exceptionally efficient carrier of silicon, ensuring that it reaches cells throughout the body, enhancing its effectiveness in supporting various biological processes.

The effectiveness of MMST has been demonstrated to increase bone density. Indeed, the strengthening of the bones and the formation of cartilage depends on the nutritive supply of silicon combined with calcium. Silicon assists in the proper functioning of joints reducing joint pain.

The infographic results dates to 1979, which showed that 70% of subjects increased their hip bone volume with MMST as opposed to a placebo.

MMST has long been regarded as a vital element for overall wellbeing. Its comprehensive support for the body’s foundational structures underscores its importance in maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

• Cardiovascular Health: MMST supports cardiovascular health by promoting the synthesis of collagen and elastin, essential for maintaining the elasticity and integrity of blood vessels.

• Bone Health: MMST enhances bone health by facilitating the deposition of calcium and supporting the production of collagen, which is crucial for bone strength and density.

• Nail & Skin Health: MMST improves nail and skin health by boosting collagen production, leading to stronger nails and more resilient, hydrated skin with improved elasticity.

• Joints & Cartilage: MMST supports joint and cartilage health by aiding in the regeneration of cartilage and increasing collagen synthesis, reducing joint discomfort and improving mobility.

MMST is highly bioavailable, meaning it is efficiently absorbed by the body, allowing for optimal utilisation of its beneficial properties in supporting overall health.

Prior to undertaking this research the group confirmed the very high purity of G5® MMST manufactured by LLR-G5 Ireland. These findings were presented at the 11th International Symposium on Metal Ions in Biology and Medicine in Cambridge in 2011.

G5® is manufactured to the highest quality standards, ensuring safety, purity and efficacy as its priorities. LLRG5 consistently invests in high calibre research and development of their products. Collaboration with several groups of international scientists has ensured the advancement of its worldwide reputation and expertise in Organic Silicon, making LLR-G5 market leaders in Silicon supplements.

Inspired by the scientifically-proven success of MMST G5® Dietary supplements and topical products, LLR-G5 set about expanding into the skincare field. The result — G5® Haute Cosmétiques — is an innovative new skincare range powered by MMST and its remarkable cellular regeneration capabilities. Together with its proven ability to promote natural connective tissue and collagen, MMST rejuvenates the skin with hydration, tone and improved elasticity.
