Horsetail Herb Cut 75g

Pharma Germania Natural Products Horsetail Herb Cut contains dried Equisetum arvense, commonly known as Horsetail or Field Horsetail.

Horsetail has a long history in European herbal medicine, particularly for urinary and fluid-balance support. It has traditionally been used as a mild diuretic to support normal urine production and the body’s natural elimination of excess fluid.

The herb is also notable for its naturally occurring silica and silicon-containing compounds, which have contributed to its traditional association with connective tissue, hair, skin and nail wellness.

Horsetail additionally contains flavonoids, phenolic compounds and other naturally occurring phytochemicals.

While Horsetail is commonly promoted for strengthening hair and nails or supporting bone health, the silica content and bioavailability of an individual dried-herb product can vary. It should therefore not be presented as a defined silica supplement unless the amount has been specifically established.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Horsetail Herb Cut?

Horsetail is distinctive among traditional herbs because of its naturally occurring silica and silicon-containing compounds.

This mineral-related composition has contributed to Horsetail’s longstanding traditional use for connective tissue, hair, skin and nail wellness, while its flavonoids and other constituents are associated with its traditional mild diuretic action.

However, dried Horsetail herb should not automatically be equated with a standardised silica supplement, and a specific amount of elemental silicon or bioavailable silica should not be assumed.

Key Ingredient

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense)

Equisetum arvense, commonly known as Field Horsetail, is an ancient plant species traditionally used in Western herbal medicine.

Naturally occurring constituents include:

• Silica and silicon-containing compounds

• Phenolic acids
• Saponins
• Other naturally occurring phytochemicals

Traditional herbal applications include:

• Urinary tract wellness
• Mild diuretic support
• Healthy fluid balance
• Connective tissue wellness
• Hair and nail support

These applications reflect traditional herbal use and do not establish Horsetail as a treatment for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, oedema, osteoporosis, hair loss or nail disorders.

As exact preparation quantities and frequency have not been supplied for this product, a medicinal dosage should not be inferred.

Adequate fluid intake is generally important when using herbs traditionally taken to increase urinary flow, unless a healthcare practitioner has advised fluid restriction.

• Traditional urinary tract support
• Healthy fluid balance

• Connective tissue wellness
• Hair, skin and nail wellness

Warnings & Precautions

Consult a healthcare practitioner before medicinal use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Do not use diuretic herbs to self-manage fluid retention caused by heart or kidney disease.

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have kidney disease, heart disease, an electrolyte imbalance or have been advised to restrict your fluid intake.

Horsetail’s diuretic action may potentially affect fluid and electrolyte balance. Seek professional advice before combining it with diuretic or blood-pressure medication.

Some Horsetail preparations may contain thiaminase, an enzyme capable of breaking down vitamin B1 (thiamine). Prolonged or excessive unsupervised use is therefore not recommended.

Correct botanical identification is important, as other Equisetum species should not automatically be considered interchangeable with Equisetum arvense.

Painful urination, blood in the urine, fever, flank pain, difficulty passing urine or persistent urinary symptoms require appropriate medical assessment.

Keep out of reach of children.
