Horsetail Extract

What Is Horsetail Extract?

Horsetail Extract is derived from Equisetum arvense, a perennial fern-like plant known for its high silica content. The extract is typically standardized to contain 7% organic silicon (silica) or prepared as a concentrated powder (e.g., 10:1 ratio). Silica is the primary bioactive compound, essential for connective tissue health, alongside flavonoids and antioxidants that contribute to its therapeutic properties.
