Why you'll love it
Horsetail is a perennial plant descended from enormous tree-like plants that thrived over 400 million years ago. The abundance of silica that gives strength to their large hollow stems have been recognized and harnessed for centuries for their medicinal value.
Silica is among the most critical trace elements responsible for healthy bones, skin, hair, nails, and connective tissue. Silica-rich horsetail promotes the synthesis of structural proteins that include keratin and collagen, which lend strength and hardness to skin, hair, and nails. Horsetail also has a history of traditional use as a diuretic and can prove useful for treatment of uric-acid kidney stones.
Why this formula?
This formula provides a superior source of organic silica from the aqueous extract of Spring Horsetail (Equisetum arvense). The silica has been water (aqueous) extracted for 100% absorbability as well as to retain all the naturally occurring nutrients that help the body use silica. It facilitates the absorption of calcium within the body, nourishes hair, skin, nails and the entire connective tissue system including cartilage and ligaments. Specially processed to provide a readily assimilated and abundant source of trace minerals, strengthens and beautifies hair, skin, nails and, most importantly, bones!
