OSTEOPOROSIS AND BRITTLE BONES
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, a study done in Italy found that women with osteoporosis who took 270mg Horsetail extract for one year had improved bone density. A few other small clinical studies suggest that Silica in Horsetail may help absorb and use calcium in the body and may enhance bone flexibility and heal fractured bones, pulled hamstrings and dislocated joints by strengthening the connective tissues and cartilage and by raising the bone density. It's anti-inflammatory activity may also help relieve the rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, regular consumption of Horsetail extract along with a calcium supplement may be beneficial for osteoporosis, arthritis, and conditions caused by low bone density. It's suggested to stop taking Horsetail for one week after every one month of its regular use.
