What Are The Side Effects Of Silica?

My question is what is the side effect of silica. I take a quite a few supplements and they all say other and the ingredient is usually less than 2% silica even in my whole food vitamins. I am curious to know if I am taking too much silica when I take probably take 14 to 15 minerals and vitamins a day. My email is YYYY@YYYY

hi, in general Silicon supplements usually get their ingredients from organic sources. These supplements are easiest for your body to absorb when you consume them in tablet. using silica supplements for a prolonged period of time may cause severe kidney trouble. silica supplements can cause the loss of some of the other essential vitamins that our body needs.using too much of multivitamins is also not advised unless prescribed by physician. Good foods to increase your consumption include root vegetables, whole grains and water,also a well balanced diet.hope this is helpful.
