What Is Horsetail Grass 8% Powdered Extract?
Horsetail Grass 8% Powdered Extract concentrates the fine aerial stems of Equisetum arvense, an ancient, mineral-accumulating plant that predates flowering species. The standardized marker gives formulators a consistent basis for label declarations.
Market Demand
Horsetail is a mineral-accumulating plant with a long record in traditional herbalism, and solid-dose lines increasingly favour plant-sourced inputs over synthetic alternatives. As capsule, tablet, and gummy ranges expand, a powder standardized to 8% silica gives a brand a consistent, assay-backed botanical to build those formulas around.
Formulation Applications
The powder presses into tablets, fills two-piece capsules, and blends into gummies, stick-packs, and dry functional mixes, rehydrating for liquid work. Horsetail is traditionally associated with bone and joint and cardiovascular support — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica has operated its Hauppauge, New York cGMP facility under FDA inspection since 1972, applying its Bio-Chelated low-heat method so this grass extract retains a Holistically Balanced set of naturally occurring constituents. The onsite lab confirms the 8% marker along with identity, microbial, USP, and heavy-metal specifications using HPLC and ICP/MS, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available.
