4. silicon in the form of dietary 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.
