Who is taking straight up HORSETAIL?

Hey all....

I know a lot of people are taking the alta sillica, but what about just plain 'ol Horsetail? I have a bottle of this stuff and I don't want it to go to waste. It's 440 mg with the directions saying to take it 3x daily. For those of you taking this, how often & when do you take it? Also, what are your results like? Thanks.

I have it but I haven't taken it since 2 weeks before my surgery about 5 weeks.

OMG! When I was a newbie, I used to take horsetail pills. THat was like 2 to 3 years ago...

--DOn't take them anymore. Didn't say I wouldnt again, but I just dont remember anything significant happening to my tresses.

I'm concerned because I don't know if it is known to break people out. Right now I'm getting clear so I want to be careful...

When I first started my journey I was taking the pills but they just made my nails grow and made visit take frequent trips to the bathroom which I could have done without so I stopped taking them.

I have the GNC brand and I used to take one a day w/ no problems. I trying to start taking them again regularly but I forget but they do work! But don't take them if you have any signs of high blood pressure.

One a day? That sounds good. I could take it at night. What's the strength? Like I said, mine are 440mg.

I don't ingest it orally...I don't know if that helps. I make an oil out of it by breaking the capsules and infusing it in jojoba oil. Not sure if it's working for hair growth, but I love using it when I baggy. HTH

Good idea! Thanks.

I use horsetail extract (liquid) to add to my oil concoctions. I recently made a mixture containing walnut oil, grapefruit eo and horsetail...So, far Im loving it. I have thought about taking the extract internally, my bottle states that you should put 20-30 drops in a glass of water and drank up.

I forgot all about the pills. I drink the tea with a little honey. Started out for my hair but I like the taste.
