What is Horsetail?
Horsetail is traditionally used as a diuretic in spring tonics. Spring tonic herbal combinations provide gentle cleanse of the body as it changes from the winter mode of storage and hibernation to the vital and energetic warm seasons. Horsetail also contains a significant amount of silica, which is considered an essential trace mineral for human health. Horsetail is commonly recommended by natural health care practitioners for support of bone and connective tissue, osteoporosis, poor growth of hair, skin and nails and swelling.

What is Silica?
Silica forms structural components of bone and connective tissue, such as collagen. It is especially needed during the early phase of bone mineralization and is found in high concentrations in the bony growth plates. It also forms elastin, a connective tissue that is responsible for the elasticity of connective tissue found in the skin, lung and blood vessels. Silica levels decline with age and a deficiency of silica may lead to degeneration of the vessels, bones and connective tissue that is commonly seen in the elderly.

What is Biotin?
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for normal growth and body function. Biotin promotes normal immunity and plays a critical role in skin and hair health.
