Horsetail (Equisetum), 500 mg: Connective tissue and joints, hair-skin-nails, remineralization and fluid balance – Botanical Supplement For Regeneration Support

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense), 500 mg, Swanson is a premium botanical supplement based on aerial parts of Equisetum arvense plant, recognized for its natural organic silicon content (silica), flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Silicon plays a structural role in synthesis of collagen, elastin and other glycoproteins in the extracellular matrix, supporting connective tissue integrity, skin elasticity and hair and nail resistance. The formula provides Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) – aerial parts – 500 mg per serving (NRV undefined), in a capsule easy to integrate into daily routine. Through its phyto-mineral profile, Horsetail supports tissue regeneration, joint comfort, fluid balance and general wellbeing.

Detailed benefits of Horsetail (Equisetum arvense)

• Supporting connective tissue structure and joints

Connective tissue provides the "scaffold" for bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. When collagen and extracellular matrix integrity is suboptimal, the following may appear:
• morning stiffness or discomfort with movement;
• reduced tolerance to repetitive effort;
• slow recovery after demanding activities.

Horsetail, through silicon and phenolic compounds, supports:
✅ synthesis and organization of collagen fibers;
✅ cartilage and ligament resilience;
✅ functional mobility and joint comfort in daily rhythm.

• Skin, hair and nails – resistance, shine and elasticity

Skin appearance and quality of skin appendages reflect collagen status and mineral balance. When nutritional background is insufficient, the following may appear:
• dull skin with reduced elasticity;
• brittle hair with split ends;
• brittle nails and slow growth.

Through silica and plant antioxidant intake, Equisetum:
✅ supports skin firmness and suppleness;
✅ contributes to hair strand resistance;
✅ helps with nail hardness and shine.

• Remineralization and support for bone integrity

Bone structure depends on organic matrix (collagen) and mineralization. Imbalances can be accompanied by:
• slow adaptation to mechanical demands;
• stiffness after effort;
• oscillating general tone.

Horsetail offers:
✅ collagen matrix support, premise for coherent mineralization;
✅ phyto-mineral intake useful in strategies for structural resilience;
✅ complementing diet oriented toward bone health.

• Fluid balance and renal-urinary comfort

Horsetail is known for supporting physiological water elimination. When fluid balance is compromised, the following may appear:
• feeling of tissue "loading";
• reduced comfort in hot periods or after salty meals;
• uneven daily rhythm.

Plant extract contributes to:
✅ easy elimination and fluid balance;
✅ renal-urinary comfort;
✅ a feeling of lightness in daily activities.

• Antioxidant protection and redox balance

Oxidative stress affects lipids, proteins and DNA, accelerating tissue wear. Without adequate antioxidants, the following may appear:
• persistent fatigue;
• slow recovery after effort;
• fragile skin status.

Flavonoids and phenolic acids from Horsetail:
✅ neutralize free radicals;
✅ support tissue comfort;
✅ contribute to a balanced redox environment for regeneration.

• Tissue regeneration and "background" for recovery processes

Fine repair of connective tissue microstructures is continuous. When collagen synthesis is undermined:
• structural support quality decreases;
• wear signs are accentuated;
• recovery pace is prolonged.

Through silica and plant co-factors, Equisetum:
✅ supports organization of collagen and elastin fibers;
✅ favors tissue cohesion;
✅ maintains "background" necessary for recovery.

• Vascular elasticity and circulatory comfort

Endothelial integrity and vascular wall elasticity also depend on connective matrix quality. Imbalances can be associated with:
• feeling of "heavy" legs;
• diminished comfort when standing for long periods;
• variability during the day.

Horsetail:
✅ supports vascular wall integrity;
✅ contributes to maintaining circulatory comfort;
✅ helps maintain lightness feeling in lower limbs.

• Active lifestyle support and flexibility

Intensive training, physical work or repetitive activities challenge the musculoskeletal system. When collagen support is fragile:
• sensitivity to usual movements appears;
• mobility becomes limited;
• recovery is prolonged.

Botanical intake:
✅ supports collagen fiber alignment in stressed tissues;
✅ favors functional flexibility;
✅ contributes to continuity of active routines.

• Scalp support and hair root

Hair strand quality starts from a balanced scalp and root well supported by connective matrix. Imbalances can mean:
• thinning strand, lacking vitality;
• sensitivity to thermal styling;
• diminished shine.

Horsetail:
✅ offers silica for strand structure;
✅ supports scalp comfort;
✅ helps with dense and healthy hair appearance.

• Synergy with regeneration-oriented lifestyle

Results for connective tissue, skin and hair are maximized alongside:
• sufficient protein intake (amino acids for collagen);
• co-factor micronutrients (vitamin C, zinc);
• hydration and regular movement.

Horsetail:
✅ complements these habits through phyto-mineral profile;
✅ supports consistency of results;
✅ offers a simple way of integration into care routine.

• Aesthetic and functional balance – "inside-out" beauty

Skin, hair and nail beauty reflects internal tissue health. When extracellular matrix is coherent:
• skin gains suppleness and tone;
• nails are firm with smooth edges;
• hair maintains its elasticity and shine.

Through collagen support and tissue-level hydration, Horsetail:
✅ consolidates "beauty from within";
✅ supports youthful skin appearance;
✅ maintains quality of skin appendages in daily rhythm.

• Why this formula

Horsetail (Equisetum), 500 mg, Swanson leverages phytotherapeutic tradition in a standardized presentation on aerial parts, rich in silica and flavonoids, to deliver coherent connective tissue support. Through a single clearly defined botanical component (Equisetum arvense, 500 mg), the product offers a direct approach to needs related to joints, skin-hair-nails, remineralization and fluid balance. In synergy with balanced nutrition, hydration and active lifestyle, Horsetail becomes an essential piece in a care routine focused on structural regeneration and functional comfort long-term.
