The inclusion of an 'aerial extract' and the explicit mention of 'silica' suggests a more processed and potentially concentrated form of horsetail.
Solaray Horsetail provides 400 mg of horsetail aerial extract, specifically noting its silica content, plus an additional 100 mg of horsetail herb, totaling 500 mg. This dual approach aims to deliver both the concentrated silica and the whole herb components.
By highlighting silica, this product directly addresses a key reason many choose horsetail for hair, nail, and bone support. It offers a potentially more targeted benefit than products that only list general horsetail herb.
- Specifies horsetail extract for silica, indicating a targeted approach.
- Combines extract with whole herb for broader plant benefits.
- Offers a solid total dose of horsetail (500mg).
- Capsule form is convenient and easy to integrate into a routine.
- Price per serving is higher than many basic horsetail options.
- The exact percentage of silica from the extract is not detailed.
- Individuals with existing medical conditions or on medications should consult a healthcare professional before use.
- Be mindful of potential diuretic effects of horsetail.
