How It Works
Recent evidence demonstrates extracts of horsetail support cellular health in bones, which may be attributed to its silica content.
Horsetail contains the highest amount of silica of all known herbs.
Silica is a trace mineral found in connective tissues throughout the body, including the bones and cartilage. It is also found in high amounts in the hair and skin.
Silica is believed to be responsible for horsetail’s benefits for strengthening hair, nails, skin and bones.
Silica is essential for the formation of collagen and elastin, as well as the building and normal repair of healthy connective tissue.
The silica in horsetail helps improve the formation, density and consistency of bone and connective tissue by enhancing collagen synthesis and improving the absorption and use of calcium.
Horsetail has also been researched for its antioxidant properties, as well as its effects on blood sugar and urine flow.
Plus, horsetail is believed to help tone the tissues of the bladder and urinary tract membranes.
Besides silica, horsetail contains a wealth of beneficial nutrients, including vitamins and minerals required by the body for blood sugar regulation and tissue repair, including calcium, copper, selenium and zinc.
Horsetail also contains large amounts of antioxidant flavonoids, including quercetin, which supports respiratory health, promotes immunity, and combats free radical damage.
