honoring

Loïc Le Ribault

We aim to inspire and encourage every person in need to become healthier and stronger from the inside out with the world´s most researched & effective silica supplement. We are a heritage brand, born in 1994. Our brand was developed by Sc. D. Loïc Le Ribault, a passionate Doctor of Science who overcame the most challenging obstacles to create a unique formula for treating the most vulnerable patients, both poor and rich.

From defending and supporting the studies to expanding the unknown therapeutic uses of dietary silica, LIVING SILICA continues its legacy by shaping a unique proprietary process now distributed worldwide.

At Silicium Laboratories, we honor his name and his legacy formula, aspiring to expand the benefits of silica throughout the world. We take pride in his commitment and constant research to provide the most effective form of silica.

OUR FOUNDER

SC. D. LOÏC LE RIBAULT

(1947 – 2007)

| THE ORIGINS

Our story unfolds in France with Sc. D. Loïc Le Ribault, a nationally recognized figure and France's foremost forensic investigator. Le Ribault pioneered the science and technology enabling the analysis of sand grains found at crime scenes using an electron microscope, thus determining their origin.

His expertise led to collaborations with prestigious agencies like the FBI, CIA, and DEA, aiding in solving high-profile crimes such as the Enrique Camarena case. This case involved the kidnapping of a United States DEA narcotics agent by Mexican cartels during the war on drugs.

| The Research

In 1972, while analyzing samples rich in microorganisms, Sc.D. Loïc Le Ribault accidentally discovered the healing properties of organic silica. While working on the organic silica deposits he had found, he immersed his hands in an organic silica solution and observed the cure of his psoriasis.

This discovery encouraged him to initiate research and analysis on how silica could contribute to health benefits. It led Sc. D. Loïc Le Ribault to partner with another highly acclaimed research chemist, Professor Norbert Duffaut from the University of Bordeaux, to confirm his findings and initiate a race to discover a potent and effective silica-based formula.

|The Discovery

After 12 years of working together with the goal of discovering the wide range of therapeutic uses of silica, and after formulating five different generations of formulas, Sc. D. Loïc Le Ribault continued his research independently until he discovered that silica could also be stabilized in water using carbon atoms.

This discovery led to the development of the breakthrough LIVING SILICA® in 1994. Even the French government agreed and publicly stated that OS5, the first version of LIVING SILICA®, was a completely natural and non-toxic substance to support well-being. 

Today, we sell and distribute a patented and GRAS-approved ingredient, designed and formulated to unleash the power of your own collagen under the brand ORGONO LIVING SILICA®. 

WHY ORGONO®

LIVING SILICA?

ORGONO’s name comes from the concept of metaphysical life energy. Ancient teachings have emphasized the idea of subtle energies that are found everywhere. They are the life force that flows through all living things – the building blocks of all life on Earth

In Ayurveda, it’s called Prana. In Chinese, it’s called Chi. In Japanese, it’s called Ki.

ORGONO® empowers you to lead the transformation of your inner self to achieve optimum health and well-being.

Thus, the brand ORGONO® was born.

HARNESSING THE BENEFITS OF SILICA-ENRICHED SAND

1994

LE RIBAULT CREATES A NEWMOLECULE

Year 1994

A NEW MOLECULE 

After Duffaut's death, his partner, Le Ribault, continued the work alone. Until then, the silica solutions were exclusively formulated for external topical use. To activate them, small quantities of chemical medicines needed to be added. These medicines were carefully selected based on the specific disease being treated. Initially, creating a single solution posed a challenge as they tended to become unstable. In 1994, Le Ribault achieved his dream of creating a pure molecule that had a distinct advantage: it did not require additional drugs to enhance its effect or maintain stability. This molecule proved to be more effective than previous iterations and remained completely stable over time.

Year 1982

THE BENEFITS OF SILICA-ENRICHED SAND 

Le Ribault suffered from psoriasis, a condition deemed incurable, which affected his hands and nails. Upon studying grains of silica-rich sand under an electronic microscope, he was surprised to find that his psoriasis disappeared from his right hand after a few days. This led him to investigate further, applying the same technique to his left hand with similar results. Consequently, Le Ribault delved into analyzing the role of silica in treating skin conditions, collaborating with other doctors, and advancing his investigation.

Year 1975

NEW PROCEDURE TO COLLECT SILICA DEPOSITS 

In 1975, Le Ribault developed a method to collect silica deposits created by the action of microorganisms, aiming to further investigate their role in the biological silica cycle. Through this procedure, he successfully obtained solutions containing a substantial percentage of silica. During these experiments, he also discovered the therapeutic effects of silica on himself.

Since 1994

THE FIFTH GENERATION SILICA

Le Ribault demonstrated that the molecule maintained its stability for years and could be used orally for extended periods without adverse effects. The successful stabilization of such an initially unstable molecule marked a significant achievement for this formula. Le Ribault obtained a 100% pure molecule without any of the contaminations found in previous solutions. This product was termed "fifth generation silica" due to its advancement beyond the four previous generations of silica formulations.

Year 1972

THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS IN QUARTZ CRYSTALS

Loïc le Ribault studied silica in all its scientific facets for more than 30 years. In two articles published in 1972 by the Academy of Sciences, Le Ribault demonstrated that certain quartz crystals contain an amorphous layer of silica on their surface, which is soluble in water. After studying thousands of samples, he established the frequent presence of microorganisms, such as bacteria and diatoms, on the surface of specific sand grains.
