It's prized for its ability to help restore natural beauty by providing valuable nutrients to skin, bones, hair, and nails, but unfortunately much silica is lost in many food sources due to over-refining and processing. Supplementation with a carefully prepared and easily absorbed form of silica, like FloraSil, can help provide the silica your body may be thirsting for. Water-soluble form of silica, made from the Spring horsetail plant, uses a special extraction process, using water instead of chemicals, developed by Dr. Louis Kervran at the University of Paris Extraction method preserves bioflavonoids necessary for effective absorption of silica and ensures retention of calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, boron, iron, and phosphorus Free of artificial additives and preservatives Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
