Silica, derived from horsetail (Equisetum arvens) - the durable horsetail
plant is a superb source of silica and calcium, necessary for bone and
connective tissue repair and maintenance. Horsetail has traditionally been
used to speed recovery from fractures and torn ligaments. Although
abundant in nature, silica is poorly absorbed by the body. Silica is essential
for healthy hair, skin and nails. Silica works on a cellular level and is part of
the cartilage-forming cells and the fibre-building cells that form collagen.
