1. silicon: use, effect, dosage, foodstuffs
Silicon is an essential trace element. It is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust after oxygen. Silicon is essential for keeping the human body healthy. Naturally, about 20 milligrams per kilogram of body weight are found in the human organism. It is mainly stored in tooth enamel and bones. The trace element gives elastic stability and strength to connective tissue, skin, cartilage and vision. A silicon deficiency can lead to nutrient deficiencies and bring side effects. These include hair loss and a weakening of skin elasticity. You can get large amounts of silicon through a healthy diet. Silicon is present in foods like potatoes and spinach. In case of deficiency, supplementation of silicon in the form of dietary supplements helps.
2. functions of silicon
- Rejuvenation of the skin
- Reducing the brittleness of nails
- Improvement of hair structure
- Formation of connective tissue structures
- Wound healing
- Elasticity of cartilage, tendons and ligaments
3. the daily requirement of silicon
The German Society for Nutrition has not specified an exact daily requirement of silicon. 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.
