Silicon
Maybe you've heard of silicon or this term is completely new to you. Especially when you dive into the world of healthy skin, shiny hair or strong nails, you'll see silicon passing by. But what is silicon actually? How does it work and what is it good for? The answer to all these questions can be found below.
What is silicon?
Silicon, also known as silicic acid, is a common mineral that occurs naturally in – you guessed it – sand and gravel. It plays an important role in the health of plants, animals, and humans. So, also for you. You can find silicon in whole grains such as brown rice, fruit, vegetables, beans, and water. As you age, the amount of collagen in your body decreases. There's just one problem... your body cannot produce minerals itself. That is why you need to get this through food or supplements, for example with silicon drops.
What do the nutrients in SiWell contribute to?
Silicon is a mineral that occurs naturally in your connective tissue, skin, hair and nails. There is no EU-approved health claim for silicon itself. What there is a recognised role for are the two other minerals in the drops: zinc and selenium.
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal nails
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
- Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair
- Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal nails
You normally get zinc and selenium through your diet. A food supplement is a supplement to a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, and is not a substitute for it.

Frequently asked questions
What is silicon?
Silicon, also called silicic acid or orthosilicic acid, is a mineral that occurs naturally in sand, water and food. Your body does not produce minerals itself.
Where is silicon found naturally?
Silicon is found mainly in plant-based food, such as whole grains (oats, barley), vegetables, legumes and bananas, and in drinking water. How much you take in depends on your diet.
Silicon in drops or tablets?
Both are a form of silicon. SiWell is liquid: silicon as orthosilicic acid (OSA), the form in which your body absorbs silicon. You take 10 to 12 drops a day in a glass of water, easy to dose and tasteless. Tablets and powders also exist; which form suits you is a personal choice.
How much silicon may I take per day?
The recommended dose is 10 to 12 drops a day, preferably at breakfast. Because the drops come in a handy dropper bottle, you can easily mix the silicon drops with a quarter glass of water or fruit juice. Then drink the mixture in one go.
What should I keep in mind when using silicon?
Undiluted, SiWell Triple A Silicon has a fairly sour taste. Taking it undiluted can therefore give a tingling sensation in your mouth.
Does silicon have side effects?
At the recommended dose there are no known side effects. Do not take more than recommended, and keep an eye on your total intake of zinc and selenium if you use several supplements. Are you pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or unsure? Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or midwife.
Does silicon help with weight loss?
No. Silicon is not a weight-loss product and we do not offer it as one. We do not sell a miracle product, and we would rather be honest about what something is not.
Silicon or collagen: what is the difference?
Silicon is a mineral, collagen is a protein. Collagen is usually animal-based. SiWell contains no collagen and is vegan; it contains silicon with zinc and selenium.
Is SiWell vegan?
Yes. SiWell is vegan and tasteless.
How long does a bottle last?
A 30 ml bottle lasts about two months at 10 to 12 drops a day.
