Equisetum hyemale (Aswapucchika / Scouring Rush)
High-Resolution Node Structure
Hydro-Controlled Cultivation Site
The Organicsio Advantage
Our Equisetum hyemale is cultivated in semi-aquatic, bio-controlled zones specifically managed to mitigate heavy metal uptake—a common issue in wild-crafted Horsetail. We utilize Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) to ensure arsenic and lead levels are well below pharmacopoeial limits while maximizing the bioavailability of plant-based silica for collagen synthesis and bone remineralization.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The matrix is characterized by an exceptionally high concentration of Silicon Dioxide (Silica), ranging from 5-25% dry weight, primarily in the form of monosilicic acid. Secondary metabolites include flavonoids (isoquercitrin, quercetin), phenolic acids (caffeic, ferulic), and traces of alkaloids (palustrine). The profile is standardized for diuretic and osteogenic potency.
Commercial Applications
- Orthopedic Nutraceuticals: Bone density formulas and post-fracture recovery supplements.
- Dermatological Formulations: “Beauty from Within” collagen boosters for hair, skin, and nails.
- Renal Care: Traditional diuretic formulations for kidney stone management (Lithotriptic support).
