Safety of orthosilicic acid‐vanillin complex (OSA‐VC) as a novel food ingredient to be used in food supplements as a source of silicon and bioavailability of silicon from the source

Abstract The present scientific opinion deals with the safety of orthosilicic acid‐vanillin complex (OSA‐VC) as a novel food ingredient for use as a source of silicon (Si) in food supplements and with the bioavailability of Si from this source. OSA‐VC is stable in liquid solution at low pH values. O...
