Check your sources. I can only say I have pain in my nerve endings cannot handle  this technology.. I reacted to them & wonder what choices are left for supplements??

Monoethylsilianetriol is 
a form


http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/scdocs/doc/ans_ej948_Choline_stabilised_orthosilic_acid_op_Updated_en.pdf?ssbinary=true  Silicon sources include oats, barley, & white wheat, rice, milk
 

silica E551 & dimethlpolysiloxane is added to foods as
anti-caking & anti-foaming agent

 

microcrystalline cellulose is put in some medicines &
vitamins



Has low levels of arsenic, lead, mercury, & cadmium

Most multivitamin or combination supplement products I've
come across use silicon dioxide (or silica, SiO2) as an excipient. Recent
research has shown that silicon dioxide nanoparticles (size 1-1000nm) can be
cytotoxic (i.e. kill mammalian cells) but I'm not sure as to whether
"larger" silica particles have this property. What is unclear to me
is whether the silicon dioxide used as
 excipients in nutritional supplement
products are formulated in larger pieces (which would not be expected to be absorbed
by the GI tract) or if they are indeed being added as nanoparticles instead
(which could potentially be much more harmful).

The content is what I was trying to find out. There never used to be

silica added to supplements. Unless I'm misunderstanding part of the Morgellans research points to silicone. You'd have to check out the co''s ingredient source.

What is put into the nano, is another story.



So to me, its content...not so much the form.
