How to take liquid organic silicon with clinical guidance.
Organic silicon has three ways to be used, and combining them multiplies the results. Inside provides the cofactor needed by collagen, elastin, and keratin; outside, it acts locally on the skin, joints, or connective tissue. This guide explains the three routes, the official doses, and when results become noticeable.

How much silicon does the body absorb? Double in liquid form.
Liquid silicon is absorbed directly in the intestine and reaches the blood as orthosilicic acid (Boqué 2021). The standard regimen is 15 ml × 2/day before meals; in G7® Original it is possible to take a single 30 ml dose on an empty stomach.
The standard dosage for Silicium G7® liquid formulas is 15 ml twice a day, preferably before meals. Orthosilicic acid is optimally absorbed on an empty stomach. Each package includes a 15 ml measuring cup; the taste is neutral and the pH slightly acidic, so it can be taken directly or diluted in water.

Silicium G7® Neuro Health
2 capsules/day 10 min before meals, with a glass of water. With biotin.
View product →Liquid form has higher bioavailability than capsules because it does not require the capsule shell to break down first. Capsules are useful when silicon is combined with other micronutrients in a dry matrix (vitamins, minerals, adaptogenic mushrooms).
How to take liquid organic silicon in 4 steps.
The correct protocol multiplies absorption and avoids the most common mistakes that reduce the active ingredient's bioavailability.
-
01
Measure 15 ml with the dosing cup
Each Silicium G7® package includes a transparent dosing cup marked at 15 ml. That is the dose equivalent to 5 mg of bioassimilable silicon (Original) or up to 12 mg (Siliplant).
-
02
Take it 10-15 min before meals
An empty stomach ensures optimal absorption of orthosilicic acid in the intestine. In G7® Original, an alternative is to take 30 ml on an empty stomach as a single morning dose.
-
03
Drink it straight or diluted in water
The taste is neutral and the pH slightly acidic. You can take it on its own, dilute it in a glass of water, or add it to natural juice. Avoid hot drinks (tea, coffee) at that time.
-
04
Repeat in the afternoon before dinner
The standard regimen is 2 doses/day (morning and afternoon-evening) to maintain stable plasma levels. Daily consistency for at least 3 cycles of 30 days before starting to notice changes.
Liquid or capsule: two formats, two goals.
Each format serves a different purpose. The liquid provides the highest amount of bioassimilable silicon per dose; the capsule lets you combine silicon with other nutrients in a single daily intake.

Which one should you choose? It depends on the goal: liquid is the base for those seeking the maximum silicon intake per dose; capsule is the choice when formulated synergy matters (magnesium + vitamin C for bones, biotin for the nervous system, etc.). Many users combine both.
What mistakes reduce silicon's effect? Four common factors.
Silicon absorption depends on timing, consistency, and spacing from other products. These are the most common mistakes.
Taking it with meals
A full stomach reduces absorption. Always take it 10-15 minutes before eating.
Frequently skipping days
Connective tissue renews in slow cycles. Daily consistency matters more than the one-off dose.
Expecting results in 1 week
The first changes appear between weeks 2 and 8. Hair at 4-6 months. Set your expectations in months, not days.
Taking it at the same time as medication
Separate the silicon intake from prescribed medications by at least 1 hour, as a standard precaution.
How long should you take organic silicon for? By months, not days.
The kinetics of connective tissue (cartilage, tendon, collagen fiber, and keratin) are slow but predictable. For clinical timeframes in more detail, see the full guide How to take silicon.
Direct answer: the maintenance regimen is 3 consecutive cycles of 30 days. The intensive regimen, 5 months (150 days, Polonini 2019). In both cases, daily consistency determines the result.
Starting regimen
3 cycles of 30 days in a row to start noticing changes. Most people can continue indefinitely without risk (NOAEL 2,000 mg/kg/day, EFSA Novel Food).
Intensive regimen
5 months (150 days) is the timeframe in which the maximum effects on connective tissue are documented (Polonini 2019). After that, reduce to a maintenance dose.
Daily consistency
Skipping days reduces the continuity of plasma levels. If you forget a dose, do not double it: resume the normal schedule next time.
What people ask us most.
Six common questions about how to take organic silicon.
The standard dose is 15 ml twice a day, preferably before meals. For Silicium G7® Original, it is also possible to take 30 ml in the morning on an empty stomach as a single dose. Each package includes a measuring cup. Dilute in water or take directly, حسب preference.
Liquid formulas are ideally taken before meals (10-15 minutes), because orthosilicic acid is best absorbed on an empty stomach. Capsules with associated vitamins or minerals are also taken 10 minutes before meals; those taken in the morning, with a glass of water.
Connective tissue kinetics are slow. In skin, the first changes are seen between 6 and 8 weeks; in joints from week 2 to 6 of consistent use; in hair the cycle is longer (4-6 months). Polonini 2019 documented the maximum results at 150 days (5 months).
Yes. Documented synergy with hydrolyzed collagen (improves endogenous synthesis), magnesium (muscle and bone function), vitamin C (cofactor for prolyl hydroxylase), and vitamin D (bone mineralization). No known interactions with medications or prescribed therapies, according to accumulated pharmacovigilance.
Yes, and it is the most complete approach. Oral use provides systemic silicon to all tissues; topical application of the gel acts locally on the applied area, offering extra support for skin, specific joints, or overloaded tendons.
Yes. NOAEL 2,000 mg/kg/day in OECD GLP studies, with no relevant adverse effects in more than 23 years of pharmacovigilance. Excess silicon is eliminated in urine as silicic acid without accumulation. EFSA approved the active ingredient as Novel Food in 2016 (EU Regulation 2017/2470). During pregnancy, breastfeeding, or medical treatment, consult your healthcare professional.
The other two routes complement oral use.
Silicon works best when oral use is combined with topical use or cosmetics depending on the goal.
