Investigation of the Chemical Composition of Phenolic Compounds in Equisetum Arvense Extracts of Water and Ethanol
TLDR Horsetail extracts contain phenolic compounds that may help with hair health.
The study aimed to determine the chemical composition of phenolic compounds in Equisetum arvense (horsetail) stem extracts using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). E. arvense is widely used in traditional medicine and cosmetics for its therapeutic properties, including its role in treating hair loss and skin conditions. The extracts are known for their anti-aging, moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, anti-acne, and hair-strengthening effects. The research focused on analyzing the phenolic components present in water and ethanol extracts of the plant.
