How does NSI® Silica from Horsetail Herb Extract 1500 mg work?
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense), is a descendent of huge, tree-like plants that thrived 400 million years ago during the Paleozoic Era. Horsetail is a perennial, non-flowering plant found throughout parts of Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. Also known as Bottlebrush, Mare’s Tail, Scouring Rush and Shave Grass, the stems of Horsetail are rich in silica and silic acids.
Silica (an organic form of the mineral silicon) is an essential trace mineral which may help form and strengthen bone, cartilage, the membranes surrounding joints, connective tissue and skin. It is also a component of collagen. Silicon is essential for calcium absorption. In addition to silicates and silicic acid, Horsetail is rich in calcium and trace minerals. It contains flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids and sterols.
