PRODUCT INFORMATION
The diuretic effect of horsetail is one of the most sought after properties of this fern in folk medicine.
Maintains bone strength
Studies show that horsetail can help strengthen bones.
Researchers believe that the effect of remodeling horsetail bones is mainly due to the high content of silicon dioxide. In fact, up to 25% of its dry weight is silicon dioxide. No other plant can boast such a high concentration of this mineral.
Silica, which is also present in bone, improves the formation, density and consistency of bone and cartilage tissue by enhancing collagen synthesis and improving the absorption and utilization of calcium.
Accelerates the healing of wounds and nails
Topical application of horsetail cream appears to promote wound healing.
Promotes hair growth
Research shows that horsetail can also benefit your hair, probably due to its silicon and antioxidant content.
First, antioxidants help reduce micro-inflammation and aging of hair fibers caused by free radicals. Second, the higher silicon content in the hair fibers leads to less hair loss, as well as more shine.
