Compare every Horsetail product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.
Herb rich in silica, used for hair, nails and bones
We rank Horsetail by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Horsetail is a plant-based herb that contains high levels of silica. Silica is a natural mineral that acts as a building block for various tissues in the human body.
It is primarily taken to support the strength and growth of hair, nails, and bones. This is because the silica found in the plant helps the body maintain these structural components.
The plant is harvested and dried to remove moisture. Once dried, it is ground into a fine powder which can be sold as is or packed into capsules for easier consumption.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because while the plant is relatively easy to grow, the process of harvesting and drying it to a high standard requires consistent quality control.
| Purpose | Typical studied dose | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| general use | up to 6 grams daily | established |
| hair and nail health | 10 mg per day of choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid | emerging |
