It also supports the cardiovascular and reproductive systems.*

𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

⚠️ Ensure thorough decoction or preparation to extract beneficial constituents and minimize potential irritation, as the raw plant contains thiaminase, an enzyme that breaks down vitamin B1; cooking or drying reduces this risk.

⚠️ It may affect medication excretion due to its diuretic effect.

⚠️ Use only sterile stems from the non-reproductive stage, and be cautious with Equisetum species, as they are easily confused; thus, correct identification is essential to avoid toxic varieties.*
