Are there any negative side effects to taking MSM and Silica in high doses?!
Question: MSM: i usually take one 1000 mg capsule in the morning with breakfast.
Silica: this is made up of 5000 mg of horsetail herb. im not sure how much silica that would be equivalent to. i take one capsule daily.
i also take a multivitamin to balance everything out.
thanks in advance =)

Actually, 1,000 mg of MSM is a pretty normal dose for MSM... in fact, the doses even go up to 3-5,000 mg daily (taken in multiple doses throughout the day).
With the Horsetail herb, it may vary depending on what part of the plant they are using. If it doesn't specify, it's probably about 1% Silica (which is normal), so that would be about 50 mg of elemental Silica. I've seen doses as high as 60 mg being listed as perfectly safe for the general population.
If you've been taking those two in addition to a multivitamin, there should be no problem with that if you haven't had any problems yet (meaning you're not allergic to either one)... those really aren't too high of doses.
