Horsetail plant (Equisetum arvense L., herba) is a perennial vascular plant without flowers. The presence of large amounts of silica compounds in this plant has caused its stems to be rough and rough. Horsetail plant is used in traditional medicine to treat brittle nails, hair loss, tuberculosis, rheumatic diseases, gout, and to improve severe menstrual bleeding, nose, lung, and stomach bleeding. Horsetail is used as an anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, diuretic to remove kidney and bladder stones and also to heal wounds and burns.
Silica available in Asar? Horsetail prevents brittleness, cracking, flaking and flaking of nails and strengthens them. The silica present in this plant facilitates the deposition of calcium and other mineral salts and by reducing the number of osteoclast cells, stimulates the activity of osteoblast cells, stimulates the synthesis of collagen and facilitates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan and collagen, causing the formation of bone and connective tissue.
Silica helps to form the structural framework and flexibility of the connective tissue by connecting glycosaminoglycan polysaccharide chains to each other. Also, silica-dependent enzymes bind amino acids to collagen fibers in connective tissue. The effective substances in horsetail plant help the health of bone tissue and prevent osteoporosis by increasing the survival and proliferation of osteoblasts and inhibiting the production of osteoclasts.
The silicon present in this plant plays an important role in the calcification and mineralization of the bone matrix, as well as the absorption and metabolism of essential body elements such as copper, calcium and magnesium, which are involved in the synthesis of collagen and bone. Also, silicon helps in the synthesis of type I collagen, creating connections within and between the glycosaminoglycan polysaccharide chains of the bone matrix, and also the connection of these molecules to the relevant proteins. Therefore, silicon helps to form the structural framework of connective tissue, bone and cartilage and prevents osteoporosis.
