Hi,
Is silica safe for pets? I had a cat with really bad kidney stones and now I wish I had known about silica because she ended up dying of complications with that condition.
I am wondering if I should give it to my current cat, who is healthy but is a Persian and therefore prone to kidney stones?
Anyone know? My vet wouldn’t know, she does not specialize in holistics…that is the answer I got from her anyway.

I am really not to certain if silicon will effect breast implants, you should ask a doctor, the reason I think that it is said not to take silicon with implants is because silicon helps to push toxions & foreign objects out of the body such as like kidney stones, splinters & glass shards & is sometimes perscribed for that purpose. So I think it may possible that silicon could irritate implants if taken a high dose, consult your doctor ask if there are any concerns to taking silicon with implants, silicon is an essential nutrient.

I am not a doctor, but I really don’t understand how silica the mineral can be compared to silicon breast implants. Although they are both from the same classification, they are very different. Silica is harmless and your body already has this mineral, it just depleates with age. I hope this helps.

Hi! I have the same question as Jenny. I was informed that women with silicone implants must stay away from silica? Is this true? Please advise urgently! Thank you!

I have been told that women with implants should not take silica. Is this correct and why?

No, there are no adverse reactions if you don’t take a break from it. Sometimes it is just good for your body to have a little break from supplements……..

I have been taking silica supplements for as long as I can remember. Yes, I find that silica really helps in improving hair, skin & nail condition, making the healthier and more resilient. I can see the results especially my nails which are relatively strong and sturdy. Am 31 years old now and have not had a “break” from silica supplements. Would that be dangerous? What are the side effects/adverse reactions if one doesnt take a break from silica supplements?
