Silicon is the second most abundant element on Earth, after oxygen. It is found in nature as silicon dioxide and in the hydrated or aqueous form as silicic acid.

Gastrointestinal disorders are usually caused by irritants and by harmful and toxic substances and pathogens. When the gastrointestinal tract is disturbed by such toxic substances and pathogens, it cannot function normally, which may lead to physical discomfort.

The advantage of Silicolgel exists in silicic acid's large and highly reactive surface. When taken internally, it forms a protective and soothing coating over the lining of the stomach and intestines.

How to take Silicol Gel

Take Silicolgel at least 1 hour before or after the intake of medicines.

Take one tablespoonful (15 ml) of Silicolgel thrice daily, preferably before meals.

Silicolgel can be taken either undiluted or diluted with water. After acute symptoms ease, treatment with Silicolgel can continue for another few days.

If the symptoms have not reduced after three days, consult a medical doctor.

With diarrhoea, it is necessary to replace lost fluids.

What does Silicol Gel contain

3.5 g Silicon Dioxide in 100 ml Silicic Acid gel.

Preservatives: Sorbic Acid (E 200), Sodium Benzoate (E 211).
