Ingredients explained
Silica (from Horsetail leaf extract)
Silica is involved in collagen and connective tissue formation, supporting the structure of bones, hair, nails, and skin.
Caution: Horsetail naturally contains small amounts of nicotine-like alkaloids and may have diuretic effects, so use cautiously if sensitive to stimulants or if fluid balance is a concern.
Calcium
Calcium serves as a structural mineral in bones and teeth and participates in cellular signaling and muscle function.
Caution: Take away from high-dose iron or certain medications because calcium can reduce their absorption.
Magnesium
Magnesium acts as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymes, influences muscle and nerve function, and participates in bone mineralization.
Caution: May loosen stools at higher intakes; separate from some medications like thyroid hormones to avoid absorption interference.
Zinc (as zinc gluconate)
Zinc supports protein synthesis and cellular repair processes important for skin, hair, nails, and overall tissue integrity.
Caution: Can cause nausea on an empty stomach and may reduce copper absorption with long-term high intakes.
Boron (as boron glycinate)
Boron influences mineral metabolism and may help the body utilize calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D for skeletal support.
Caution: Keep total intake moderate, as excessive boron may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
How they work together
Silica and zinc support connective tissue and keratin structures, while calcium and magnesium contribute mineral building blocks for bones. Boron helps the body handle key minerals, complementing the structural and enzymatic roles of the other nutrients. Betaine HCl supports digestive acidity, which may aid mineral absorption.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications or certain antibiotics may need to separate dosing from calcium and magnesium. Those with kidney concerns or on medications affected by minerals should discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Protect from light.
