Silica is one of the main components of collagen. Collagen is the binding element in cells that helps hold the body together. Collagen deteriorates with age leading to reduced tissue elasticity, loose skin, thinning hair and brittle nails. Modern refining removes much of the silica from whole grains, the most abundant food source of this essential mineral. Springtime horsetail is an excellent source of silica and silicic acids. This herb also contains equisetonin, isoquercitin, galuteolin, equisetrin, aconitic acid, calcium, copper, fatty acids, fluorine, pantothenic acid, PABA, sodium, starch, zinc and nicotine.
Do not take if you suffer from impaired heart or kidney function.
