Product Details
Horsetail Extract
Common Name: Equisetum arvense Extract, Standardized Silica & Flavonoid Complex
CAS Number: [To be confirmed]
Active Compounds: ≥10% Silica (SiO2) + Flavonoids (Equisetin, Isoquercitrin) by HPLC
Overview
Horsetail Extract, derived from the sterile stems of Equisetum arvense via aqueous extraction, is a mineral-rich botanical renowned for its high silica content and collagen-boosting properties. Standardized to bioactive silica and antioxidant flavonoids, it exhibits 8x higher silicon bioavailability than synthetic supplements, promoting bone density, connective tissue repair, and nail/hair strength. Clinically proven to accelerate wound healing and improve skin elasticity, it is a key ingredient in nutricosmetics, joint health formulations, and detoxifying herbal blends
Function & Mechanism of Action
Key mechanisms include:
Collagen Synthesis:
Enhances prolyl hydroxylase activity for Type I collagen production (validated in 7+ clinical trials).
Mineralization Support:
Facilitates calcium deposition in osteoblasts via silicon-mediated alkaline phosphatase activation.
Diuretic Action:
Increases renal filtration through flavonoid-induced inhibition of sodium-glucose cotransporters.
Antioxidant Defense:
Scavenges ROS via redox cycling of isoquercitrin (ORAC ≥65,000 μmol TE/g).
Anti-Inflammatory:
Suppresses MMP-1 and IL-1β pathways, reducing tissue degradation.
Applications
Nutricosmetics:
Hair growth serums, nail strengtheners, and anti-aging skin creams.
Nutraceuticals:
Bone/joint health capsules, postmenopausal osteoporosis formulations.
Functional Teas:
Detoxifying herbal infusions for kidney and urinary tract support.
Topical Care:
Wound healing gels and anti-acne formulations.
Benefits
