This oil is a powerful source of antioxidants such as beta-carotene, polyphenols, and vitamin E, along with vitamins D, F, and K.
It also contains calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats like gamma-linoleic acid, all of which help combat inflammation and aging.
Horsetail Tincture or Tea
Horsetail is a silica-rich plant known to support bone strength. Studies show that horsetail extract (used alone or with calcium) can help boost bone density.
Herbalists like Dr. John Ray Christopher believed that the silica in horsetail converts into calcium in the body.
Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids)
Research, including a University of Texas study in mice, found that fish oil helps maintain bone density, reduces bone breakdown, and supports bone formation.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil is extracted from oily fish like salmon, sardines, and herring.
In addition to bone health, omega-3s may also ease joint pain and inflammation, especially for those with rheumatoid arthritis.
Other helpful supplements include spirulina and blackcurrant bud extract, both known for their mineral content and anti-inflammatory properties.
