Horsetail Extract FAQ
- ●
What is Horsetail Extract Powder (Equisetum arvense)?
Horsetail Extract Powder is a concentrated botanical ingredient derived from the aerial (above-ground) parts of the Horsetail plant (Equisetum arvense). It is highly valued for its rich natural content of Silica, which exists in various forms, including Silicic Acid.
- ●
What is Silica, and why is it important in Horsetail Extract?
Silica is a compound of silicon and oxygen. In Horsetail, it’s found naturally in bioavailable forms like orthosilicic acid and colloidal silicic acid. Silicon is an essential trace mineral important for the health and strength of connective tissues, including hair, skin, nails, and bones.
- ●
How is your Horsetail Extract standardized for Silica content?
Our Horsetail Extract is standardized to contain a guaranteed minimum percentage of Silica, typically ranging from 2% to 10% or higher. This is often measured by gravimetric methods (as total silica) or by ICP-OES/MS (for elemental silicon). Please check the specific product COA.
- ●
How is the Silica / Silicic Acid content verified?
The total Silica content is commonly determined using gravimetric analysis after ashing. Elemental Silicon content can be precisely measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) or Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). These verified results are documented on the Certificate of Analysis (COA).
- ●
What parts of the Equisetum arvense plant are used?
The extract is typically derived from the sterile green stems (aerial parts) of the Horsetail plant, as these are the richest in silica and other beneficial compounds like flavonoids and saponins.
- ●
What are the main B2B applications for Horsetail Extract Powder?
It is widely used in dietary supplements formulated for promoting healthy hair, skin, and nails, as well as supporting bone health and connective tissue integrity. It’s also found in some herbal teas, and in cosmetic products for its astringent and strengthening properties.
- ●
Is this a natural source of Silica?
Yes, Horsetail extract provides a natural, plant-based source of bioavailable silica, as opposed to synthetic silicon compounds. The silica in horsetail is organically bound, which is believed to enhance its absorption.
- ●
Is your Horsetail Extract tested for contaminants like Thiaminase?
Yes, quality control includes testing for potential contaminants. While Equisetum arvense contains thiaminase (an enzyme that can break down thiamin/Vitamin B1), proper processing (like heat treatment during extraction) deactivates this enzyme. We also test for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial limits.
- ●
Is the manufacturing facility GMP certified?
Yes, our Horsetail Extract Powder is produced in facilities that comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), ensuring consistent quality, process control, safety, and traceability.
- ●
Do you offer certified Organic Horsetail Extract?
Yes, we can often supply certified Organic Horsetail Extract Powder, sourced from organically cultivated or wild-harvested Equisetum arvense and processed according to organic standards. Please specify if you require the certified organic grade.
- ●
Are Halal or Kosher certifications available for this extract?
Availability of Halal and/or Kosher certifications for our Horsetail Extract depends on the specific batch and production run. Please inquire with our sales team regarding the certification status for the current inventory.
- ●
What are the storage recommendations and shelf life?
Store the powder in a cool (below 25°C), dry place, protected from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original tightly sealed container. Properly stored, the typical shelf life is 24-36 months.
- ●
What is the appearance and solubility of Horsetail Extract Powder?
The powder is typically fine and ranges in color from light greenish-brown to beige or brownish. It has a characteristic herbal aroma. Horsetail extract, particularly its silica components, generally has limited true solubility in water but can form fine dispersions.
- ●
Is Horsetail Extract suitable for vegan/vegetarian formulations?
Yes, being derived solely from the Horsetail plant and processed without animal products, this extract is fully suitable for vegan and vegetarian supplements and cosmetics.
- ●
What technical documentation (COA, Spec Sheet) is provided?
We provide comprehensive technical documentation to B2B clients, including Certificates of Analysis (COA detailing silica content by gravimetry/ICP), Specification Sheets, MSDS, Allergen Statements, and relevant certifications (GMP, Organic, Halal, Kosher where applicable).
- ●
Are samples available for R&D and formulation testing?
Yes, samples of our Horsetail Extract Powder are available for qualified B2B customers to evaluate its quality, silica content, and suitability for their specific product formulations. Please contact our sales department.
- ●
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for bulk Horsetail Extract?
