Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in earth’s crust next to oxygen. Although a neglected element, it has many applications in many diverse fields, from construction industry to the most advanced computer components as well as in human health and diseases. Silicones which are products manufactured when Si is combined with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is the form medically used for many
human health, especially in implants. Silicon also plays significant role
in health and diseases of renal, cardiovascular, bone metabolism and
breast implants.

Research done in the past has identified the implications of silicon in Kidney, Cardiovascular, bone and implants
for humans. This mini review highlights a condensed research findings done during the past two decades on the beneficial/toxic effects of silicon in the above mentioned organs. There are lacunae about silicon in other areas of human health such as diabetes, endocrine, Infertile and reproductions. More research is required in this field to understand the beneficial effects of this important mineral.
