Q. "You say that the recommended daily amount of silica is 375mg, but you have only 131mg in your bone support formula. Why is that? Would we be better off just using the horsetail? Are your products organic?"

A. Our Bone Support is designed to provide you with a good blend of minerals known to be essential for bone health.  It is not designed as an individual mineral supplement and therefore has smaller amounts of all the minerals. It has been formulated for those individuals who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia and wish to take a comprehensive formula to strengthen their bones rather than take 8 or 9 different elements.  You would not be better off taking horsetail. All minerals are inorganic by definition.  Our minerals are not sourced from plant material and therefore have no organic compounds incorporated with them.

In good health,
Rick Wagner
