Horsetail extract is supplied at 575 mg, a substantial labeled amount for a one-tablet serving. The label does not state the botanical species, plant part, extraction ratio, or silica yield, so the active silicon contribution remains unknown.
Zinc and manganese use amino-acid chelates, while boron and calcium provide smaller supporting amounts. These minerals can contribute to normal connective-tissue and bone processes, but the formula lacks the broader nutrient depth expected from a complete bone product.
The low serving cost and single-tablet format are practical strengths. Bentonite adds uncertain nutritional value and could complicate absorption timing, making the product best suited to users specifically comfortable with an unstandardized horsetail formula.
Calcium citrate and mineral chelates are useful forms, while the horsetail extract lacks species and silica standardization, and the horsetail extract amount is substantial, manganese supports maintenance, and boron remains modest. The listed mineral and botanical amounts are not obviously excessive, while horsetail, calcium, zinc, manganese, and boron form a coherent hair, nail, and bone-support blend.
Every listed active ingredient has a specific amount, and no proprietary blend hides the amount of a listed active ingredient. Serving count is supplied, but complete daily-use directions are not provided, while inactive ingredients and excipients are not included in the supplied label details.
.The supplied average rating is favorable but below the strongest products in this group, and the limited review count reduces confidence in the average rating. Specific review themes are unavailable, so repeated negatives and real-world fit remain uncertain.
.A coherent formula supports fair value despite some dose or form limitations, and the very low serving cost provides excellent practical value. Bentonite contributes little compared with the core horsetail and mineral ingredients, while the formula and serving value compare well with similar products.
.
Horsetail can provide silica for nail-plate structure, while zinc and manganese support growth-related enzymes. The actual silica contribution cannot be determined from the extract weight.
The label omits horsetail species, plant part, and silica standardization. Chelated minerals are useful, but bentonite and boron add little clear value for brittle nails.

Horsetail may supply silica for hair strength, while chelated zinc and manganese add follicle-related cofactors. The formula is aimed more at brittleness than at proven hair regrowth.
The horsetail amount is large, but no silica percentage or extraction standard is given. Bentonite and minor minerals add complexity without resolving the uncertainty around active silicon exposure.
No linked studies yet.
Horsetail extract and several trace minerals may support connective tissue and bone mineral metabolism. The formula provides little calcium and no vitamin D or vitamin K.
Chelated zinc, manganese, and boron are useful form choices, but their amounts are mostly modest.

| Ingredient | Amount per serving |
|---|---|
Calcium (Calcium Citrate) | 50 mg |
Zinc (Zinc Amino Acid Chelate) | 5 mg |
Manganese (Manganese Amino Acid Chelate) | 2 mg |
Horsetail extract | 575 mg |
Bentonite mineral powder | 10 mg |
Boron (Boron Amino Acid Chelate) | 1 mg |
The amino acid chelate is a strong form choice for absorption. The clearly disclosed amount supports nutritional maintenance but is below the targeted bone and joint range. Its very low serving cost makes it attractive for users who want a broader silica-focused formula with modest manganese.
The substantial horsetail extract amount is fully disclosed, but the label gives no silica standardization or active mineral yield. A pressed tablet is less favorable for rapid release than a capsule or liquid, and the botanical species and plant part remain unidentified. Low serving cost provides good value for an unstandardized extract, though its actual silica contribution cannot be verified.
The amino acid chelate is not described well enough to confirm a high-quality boron form. Its low dose is unlikely to serve as a primary boron supplement. The inexpensive serving partly offsets that limitation for people choosing it mainly for the broader mineral and silica blend.
