Silicon Iodine Boron

Made for your daily routine.

Iodine has well-established physiological roles. It supports normal thyroid hormone production, thyroid function, nervous system function, cognition, and energy metabolism, and helps maintain healthy skin. The daily serving provides 100% NRV of iodine in a clearly stated amount from algae extracts.

Silicon comes from two plant sources: bamboo and horsetail. We state the silica and silicon content alongside the extract amounts. The formula also provides 3 mg of boron, an amount examined in mineral metabolism research.

The formula uses a pullulan capsule. Its packaging states GMP production, protective-atmosphere packaging using Oxygen-Free MAP Technology, and carefully selected ingredients. It brings several clearly specified ingredients into one daily product.

Silicon Iodine Boron

Why include silicon, iodine, and boron?

Iodine supports thyroid hormone production, energy metabolism, nervous system function, and cognition. Silicon occurs naturally in foods and connective tissues; its availability depends partly on its source and form. Boron is a trace element studied in mineral metabolism. This formula combines all three in one product.

Silicon Iodine Boron

What does research say about Silicon, Iodine & Boron?

EFSA recognizes iodine’s roles in thyroid function, energy metabolism, nervous system function, and cognition. Human horsetail research has detected silicon in blood and urine after ingestion, supporting absorption from this plant source. Reviews of boron research discuss 3 mg daily as an amount studied in mineral metabolism. These findings concern the individual ingredients, not the finished combination.

Do not exceed the recommended daily serving. Food supplements should not replace a varied diet. A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are recommended. Not intended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Store at room temperature, at or below 25°C, out of reach of young children.

Science & sources

Understand the formula.

Silicon, iodine, and boron are studied in different areas of physiology. Iodine has the strongest basis in authorized health claims. Research also examines the bioavailability of silicon from horsetail and a daily boron intake of 3 mg, the amount provided by this product.

These publications concern the studied ingredients or formulas. They do not all evaluate the finished Doctor Life product, and research results do not guarantee individual outcomes.

01Scientific Opinion on the substantiation of health claims related to iodine and contribution to normal cognitive and neurological function (ID 273), contribution to normal energy-yielding metabolism (ID 402), and contribution to normal thyroid function and production of thyroid hormones (ID 1237) pursuant to Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006

EFSA Journal (2010), 8(10), 1800. DOI: 10.2903/j.efsa.2010.1800.

EFSA confirmed the relationship between iodine intake and normal cognitive function, nervous system function, energy metabolism, thyroid hormone production, and thyroid function. This provides the basis for the formula's central purpose: each daily serving supplies 150 µg of iodine, or 100% of the NRV.

02Silicon Resorption from Equisetum arvense Tea - A Randomized, Three-Armed Pilot Study

Aljoscha Waterstradt, Moritz Winker, Amy Marisa Zimmermann-Klemd, Seema Devi, Ann-Kathrin Lederer, Roman Huber, Carsten Gründemann

Planta Medica (2022), 88(14), 1360-1368. DOI: 10.1055/a-1643-5493; PMID: 34706374.

In a randomized pilot study, healthy volunteers who drank horsetail tea showed a clear increase in serum silicon levels and urinary silicon excretion. The findings suggest that silicon from horsetail can be absorbed through the digestive tract, making it an interesting plant source of silicon.

03Pivotal role of boron supplementation on bone health: A narrative review

Mariangela Rondanelli, Milena Anna Faliva, Vittoria Peroni, Gabriella Gasparri, Anna Perna, Maurizio Naso, Simone Riva, Giovanna Petrangolini, Alice Tartara et al.

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology (2020), 62, 126577. DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2020.126577; PMID: 32540741.

This review covered 11 studies involving a total of 594 participants and examined boron alone or with other ingredients. The authors highlighted 3 mg per day as an amount repeatedly studied in relation to mineral metabolism and bone health. A daily serving of Silicon Iodine Boron provides the same amount.

FAQ / Silicon Iodine Boron

Good questions. Clear answers.

Talk to us ↗

Is 150 µg of iodine too much for daily use?

The daily serving provides 150 µg of iodine, equal to 100% of the EU adult nutrient reference value. This is a reference amount, not a guarantee of suitability for everyone. Follow the product warnings and seek medical advice if you have a thyroid condition or need to limit iodine.

Iodine levels in algae vary. How much does this product contain?

Natural algae can vary in iodine content, which makes the stated amount per serving important. Silicon, Iodine & Boron provides 75 µg from knotted wrack extract and 75 µg from bladderwrack extract, totaling 150 µg. You do not need to estimate iodine from the algae’s weight alone.

Is algae-derived iodine better than potassium iodide?

We do not claim that one iodine source is inherently better. The amount in the daily serving is the key comparison. This formula combines two algae sources of iodine with plant-derived silicon and boron, with the amounts clearly stated.

Why use both bamboo and horsetail as silicon sources?

Both are established plant sources of silicon, and the formula states each source’s contribution. Horsetail has also been studied in humans for silicon absorption. Together, they provide two distinct plant sources in one product.

Why include 3 mg of boron when it has no established NRV?

An EU nutrient reference value has not been established for boron. It is nevertheless studied in areas including mineral metabolism, with 3 mg daily appearing in research and reviews. The formula states this amount clearly; research interest alone does not establish a clinical benefit.

Is Silicon, Iodine & Boron a thyroid product?

Iodine supports normal thyroid hormone production and thyroid function. The supplement does not replace diagnosis or treatment. If you have a diagnosed thyroid condition, have been advised to limit iodine, or take thyroid medication, discuss supplementation with your doctor or endocrinologist.

Is it suitable for vegans?

Yes. The ingredient list contains plant and algae extracts, boric acid, and a pullulan capsule, with no declared animal-derived ingredients. The product is therefore listed as vegan and vegetarian.
