Horsetail Extract
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is an ancient plant with major origins and cultivation sources in China. This extract is produced from the aerial parts of the plant through an extraction process that yields a higher concentration of active compounds compared to consuming the fresh plant. It is rich in minerals and various phytochemicals, especially Silicic Acid at not less than 7%, which is efficiently absorbed by the body and utilized in the synthesis of collagen and keratin. Therefore, horsetail extract is highly popular as an ingredient in dietary supplements designed to support overall health from within.

Key Benefits of Horsetail Extract
- Hair and scalp nourishment : Silicic Acid (7%) is an essential component in keratin synthesis, the primary structural protein of hair. This mechanism strengthens hair roots, reduces hair breakage and hair loss, and improves blood circulation in the scalp, allowing better nutrient delivery to hair follicles. The result is stronger, shinier, more elastic hair with reduced brittleness.
- Nail strengthening : Natural silica acts as a connective tissue binder, increasing nail density and strength. It helps prevent brittle, splitting, or peeling nails and supports the recovery of nails damaged by chemical exposure, restoring healthy, smooth, and strong nail growth.
- Collagen support and skin nourishment : Supports enzyme activity involved in collagen and elastin synthesis within the skin, which is essential for maintaining elasticity, firmness, and reducing the appearance of fine lines. It also helps improve skin moisture retention, leaving the skin soft, radiant, and healthy-looking.
- Bone and joint support : Silica is a fundamental mineral required for bone mineralization, helping the body deposit calcium into
bones more effectively. Horsetail extract supports increased bone density, helps prevent osteoporosis, and strengthens tendons and connective tissues around joints. - Diuretic support and reduction of water retention : Naturally stimulates kidney function to promote gentle diuresis, helping reduce excess water retention that causes swelling in hands and feet. It also assists in flushing toxins and bacteria from the urinary
tract without disrupting mineral balance. - Antioxidant activity and tissue repair : Rich in polyphenols and flavonoids with strong antioxidant properties, helping protect cells from environmental damage. It also supports wound healing and accelerates tissue repair and recovery.
