Silica Complex (Silicon) with Horsetail Extract – Strong Hair, Skin & Nails, Joints & Connective Tissue, Mineralization & Collagen – Synergistic Formula with Zinc, Manganese, Calcium & Boron

Silica Complex with Horsetail Extract, Now Foods is a formula focused on connective tissue integrity and the healthy appearance of hair, skin and nails, combining natural silica from standardized horsetail extract (Equisetum arvense & Equisetum hyemale) with chelated minerals (zinc, manganese, boron) and calcium support. Silicon is known as the "structural mineral", being involved in organizing the extracellular matrix, collagen and elastin synthesis, and keratin quality. The intelligent association with zinc (for cellular renewal and skin balance), manganese (enzymatic cofactor for cartilage formation) and boron (support for mineral metabolism) outlines a complete approach to tissue strength, elasticity and robustness.

Detailed Benefits of Silica Complex (Silicon) with Horsetail Extract

• Hair, skin and nails – strength and healthy appearance

Silicon supports the organization of collagen and elastin fibers, influencing skin texture and the strength of nails and hair.
• Contributes to harder and less brittle nails
• Promotes hair with a full appearance and natural shine
• Supports skin elasticity and tone through extracellular matrix support

✅ "Glowy" appearance and sensation of more supple skin
✅ Nails with less fragile edges
✅ Hair with body and uniform texture, suitable for the "inside-out" routine

• Connective tissue and collagen – the foundation of elasticity

The collagen matrix is the invisible "skeleton" for skin, ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Silicon intervenes in the structure of proteoglycans and in the bonds that support the collagen network.
• Helps maintain the integrity of ligaments and tendons
• Supports cartilage quality through structure and intrinsic hydration
• Contributes to a feeling of "coherence" in movement and posture

✅ Better perceived flexibility in daily activities
✅ Foundation for elegant mobility
✅ Support for stretching routines and brisk walking

• Comfortable joints – silicon + manganese synergy

Manganese is a cofactor in key enzymes involved in the synthesis of cartilage components (e.g. proteoglycans). Associated with silicon, it supports the "material quality" of joints.
• Promotes compressive strength and elasticity of the joint area
• Contributes to an adaptive physiological response to stress
• Natural integration into mobility programs

✅ More "fluid" movements in the daily routine
✅ Faster return to comfort after moderate effort
✅ Nutritional framework for an active lifestyle

• Balanced skin and cellular renewal – the role of zinc

Zinc contributes to normal cell division, protein synthesis and protection against oxidative stress. In the context of skin, it supports the balance of the skin barrier.
• Supports renewal and repair processes at the skin level
• Helps maintain a uniform and clear appearance
• Contributes to the comfort of skin exposed daily to external factors

✅ More "calm" complexion in the daily routine
✅ Synergy with hydration and antioxidants from the diet
✅ Solid foundation for minimal, efficient care

• Mineralization and bone metabolism – calcium and boron

Calcium is the central element of mineralization, and boron is involved in mineral economy (interactions with vitamin D, calcium, magnesium). The combination offers a support framework for density and structural integrity.
• Contributes to maintaining bones in good functional parameters
• Promotes a "well-filled" architecture of the mineral matrix
• Fits an active lifestyle with constant movement

✅ Support for posture and strength
✅ Complement for protein intake and movement
✅ Foundation for long-term comfort

• Endogenous antioxidants and tissue redox balance

Silicon and zinc have roles in maintaining structural integrity, and manganese contributes to the function of antioxidant enzymes (e.g. manganese superoxide dismutase). Through this, the formula addresses the daily "wear" of tissues.
• Helps neutralize free radicals at the cellular level
• Supports membrane stability and extracellular matrix quality
• Contributes to an environment favorable to regeneration

✅ Tissues "more calm" under daily stress
✅ Balanced redox response in skin and cartilage
✅ Synergy with vegetables, fruits and adequate hydration

• Horsetail – botanical source of bioavailable silica

The horsetail extract complex (575 mg) provides silica (40 mg), in a traditional plant matrix. This source is appreciated for its compatibility with collagen and keratin synthesis processes.
• Targeted supply to structures rich in collagen/keratin
• Contributes to the natural "filling" of tissue networks
• Promotes the textural quality of support fibers

✅ Plant support easy to integrate
✅ Coherent routine for beauty from within
✅ Gentle approach with broad spectrum of structural benefits

• Elegant mobility and comfort during moderate effort

Connective tissue integrity determines how "easy" simple movements feel: walking, climbing stairs, stretching. Silicon, manganese and boron create a functional framework for pleasant mobility.
• Sensation of fluid "gliding" in joints
• Less perceived stiffness during rhythm changes
• Strengthening daily movement habits

✅ More pleasant walks, more stable posture
✅ Natural integration into stretching programs
✅ Coherence between training and recovery

• Intelligent synergies in lifestyle

For maximum potential, the formula harmonizes with:
• Adequate protein intake (collagen, essential amino acids)
• Omega-3 and antioxidants (vitamin C, polyphenols) for redox support and collagenogenesis
• Hydration, sleep and movement routine (strength + mobility)
• Minimalist skin hygiene with barrier protection

✅ 360° approach for hair-skin-nails + joints
✅ Synergy with magnesium (neuromuscular relaxation)
✅ Sustainable framework for results perceived gradually
 

Silica Complex with Horsetail Extract, Now Foods brings together botanical silica and chelated minerals in an ensemble that targets structure: collagen, elastin, keratin, cartilage and mineral matrix. The result is comprehensive support for hair, skin and nails, but also for joints, bones and daily movement comfort – a solid foundation for an active lifestyle, oriented towards strength, elasticity and beauty sustained from within.
