Lyme Disease

Musculo-Skeletal

Osteoporosis / Risk

Horsetail contains silicon, and it has been suggested as a possible natural treatment for osteoporosis. One study has examined horsetail for osteoporosis. In that study, 122 Italian women took horsetail dry extract or Osteosil calcium 270 mg twice daily (a horsetail-calcium combination used in Italy for osteoporosis and fractures). Although both groups who took horsetail did improve bone density, the study was poorly designed.
