Horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.), also called "horse tail" due to its particular shape, is a very widespread spontaneous plant belonging to the Equisetaceae family, which grows mainly in humid places such as river banks or shady ditches.

Thanks to the high concentration of minerals, vitamins, flavonoids, tannins and saponins, it promotes the remineralization of the bone system and hard tissues such as nails and hair. This makes it an excellent ingredient for the formulation of phytotherapeutic food supplements and its intake is recommended in case of nail fragility and hair loss. In addition, horsetail in the therapeutic field is also known for its vasoprotective and diuretic properties.
