What Is Horsetail Alcohol-Free Extract?
One of the oldest plant lineages still in cultivation, horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is prized in traditional herbalism for its mineral-rich character.
Market Demand
Its ancient-plant story adds an appealing angle for brands that market on botanical heritage.
Formulation Applications
The glycerin blends into the water phase of aqueous liquid supplements, wellness shots, and syrups during cold or gentle warm processing. Horsetail is traditionally associated with bone and joint and cardiovascular support — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim.
