In nature, silicon is found in compounds with oxygen such as silicon dioxide; it is abundant in, for example, bamboo and the plant horsetail. Silicon is one of the elements that protect our plants from disease attacks, primarily from fungi, by being stored and preventing the fungi's thin cell threads from penetrating.
Natural Silicon
Siliplant G7 is a liquid, plant-based supplement containing natural silicon from a mixed plant-based and mineral origin. Silicon is the third most abundant trace element in the body after iron and zinc.
Silicic Acid
In compounds with water, it is called silicic acid. This G5 formula is based on orthosilicic acid, stabilized by an organic complex. The active ingredient in Silica G5 is silicon gel (silicic acid gel). It is a substance formed from the mineral silicon, oxygen, and water.

Silicium Laboratories, Spain
Once opened, the bottle should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 months.
What is the difference between Silicium and Orgono?
Silicium Laboratories in Spain is the founder of all these products – it is a formula from Dr. Loïc Le Ribault. In the USA, the products are called Orgono. In the EU, they are called Silicium. In the USA, there is no FDA regulation on the amount of silicon or concentration that can be sold in a product. In the EU, there is a regulation regarding MMST. First, it must be in liquid form and at a concentration between 100-150 ml/l, and the recommended daily dose must not exceed 10 mg/day. That is why within the EU we have G5 Original, which complies with EU regulations on MMST, and G5 Siliplant with silicic acid. The Siliplant product also includes horsetail and rosemary; horsetail is a plant rich in silicon.
You have two different versions of silicon from Silicium Laboratories in a bottle . What is the difference between these?
Silicium G7 Original contains water, monomethylsilanetriol (silicon of mineral origin), potassium phosphate.
Silicium G7 Siliplant contains water (osmosis), silicon gel (silicic acid), horsetail (Equisetum Arvense) & rosemary.
Which silicium product is best for hair loss?
The molecules in G5 Siliplant and G5 Original are different, that’s correct. It’s not about size but about bioavailability and uses.
Siliplant contains a silicon dioxide molecule called silicic acid, which has been shown to be more effective for joints, skin, hair problems, and heavy metal detoxification. Let’s say it helps by naturally increasing collagen.
G5 Original contains monomethylsilanetriol (MMST). This is the most bioavailable silicon dioxide. It is used for, let’s say, more intricate cases such as chronic illnesses. MMST is also very good for joint problems, but new studies have found that silicic acid is a bit more effective.
