1. is it possible to overdose on silicon?
Silicon can be supplemented in various ways. There are silicon capsules, silicon tablets and silicon in powder form. An overdose of silicon cannot be caused by diet. If you eat too much silicon rich foods, the excess silicon is excreted through the urinary tract. Increased supplementation of silicon in the form of dietary supplements has not yet been associated with any undesirable side effects. In general, however, one should always adhere to the recommended daily dosage.
2. in which foods is silicon found?
The human body cannot produce silicon itself. Silicon must be taken in daily through the diet. Silicon is organically bound and is mainly found in plant foods and drinking water. Silicon rich foods include potatoes, cauliflower, spinach and peppers. Silicon rich fruits include strawberries and pears. In addition, silicon is a component of water. Consumed in this way, you can get up to 20 milligrams of silicon a day.
3) What is the daily requirement of silicon?
The German Society for Nutrition has not specified an exact daily requirement of silicon. The intake varies according to gender. Scientists recommend men should have a daily intake of about 10 - 25 milligrams. Women, on the other hand, only need a daily ration of 10 - 20 milligrams. One should generally always keep in mind that age, weight and height always play a significant role. Furthermore, factors such as diet and lifestyle should also be taken into account. The daily requirement of silicon can usually be well met with a balanced and healthy diet. Silicon is found in many foods. Potatoes, spinach, peas and strawberries contain large amounts of the trace element.
4. silicon in the form of food supplements
If you want to increase a too low silicon value with a dietary supplement, you should definitely pay attention to the form of the active ingredient and its origin. Silicon capsules are particularly suitable for increasing the silicon value. They are very well tolerated and are utilized by the body to a high degree. Likewise, the preparation should not contain any chemical additives such as microcrystalline cellulose. If you buy a preparation from Germany, you can be sure that the product has also been produced safely and is of high quality.
