Key actives per serving
- Silica (from horsetail leaf extract): 20 mg (from 286 mg horsetail leaf extract standardised to 7% silica)
- Calcium: 200 mg (15% DV)
- Magnesium: 150 mg (36% DV)
- Zinc (as zinc gluconate): 15 mg (136% DV)
- Boron (as boron glycinate): 1.5 mg
How to take
Adults take 1 tablet once daily, ideally with food to support mineral tolerance; separate from high‑iron supplements by a few hours to support absorption.
Ingredients explained
Silica (from horsetail leaf extract)
Silica contributes to connective tissue structure by supporting collagen and elastin formation and aiding mineral deposition in hair, skin, nails and bone matrix.
Caution: Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding as advised on label; consult if you have kidney concerns due to mineral content.
Calcium
Calcium serves as a structural mineral in bones and teeth and participates in cell signalling and muscle contraction.
Caution: Take with food if sensitive, and separate from high‑iron supplements by a few hours to avoid absorption competition.
Magnesium
Magnesium acts as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes involved in energy production and supports normal muscle and nerve function.
Caution: May loosen stools in some people, especially on an empty stomach; take with food if needed.
Zinc (as zinc gluconate)
Zinc supports enzymatic reactions involved in protein and collagen synthesis and contributes to normal skin, hair and nail structure.
Caution: Can cause nausea on an empty stomach; space away from high‑calcium or high‑iron products to support absorption.
Boron (as boron glycinate)
Boron influences the metabolism of minerals such as calcium and magnesium and supports vitamin D utilisation in bone biology.
Caution: Do not exceed suggested use; very high intakes may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
How they work together
Silica provides structural support for connective tissues, while zinc contributes to collagen synthesis and tissue integrity. Calcium and magnesium supply key minerals for bone structure and muscle function, and boron helps the body handle calcium and vitamin D for overall mineral balance.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications or certain antibiotics may need to separate dosing from calcium or magnesium by at least 2 hours. Those with kidney concerns or a history of kidney stones may wish to discuss mineral supplements with a healthcare provider before use. If combining with medications that may interact with calcium or magnesium, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Keep out of the reach of children. Protect from light.
