Horsetail/BioSil (silica) warning (All Natural, Supplements & Diet)

» Thiamine deficiency does not cause dermatitis. It usually causes neural
» problems, memory loss and heart problems. The vitamin deficiency that is
» associated with dermatitis is Niacin deficiency.
Ok, perhaps it depletes more than one B Vitamin. The point is to use caution, there are serious side effects:

"Horsetail contains an ingredient that destroys thiamine (vitamin B1), which could lead to deficiency with long-term use. This may cause permanent damage to the brain and nervous system, including confusion, difficulty walking, difficulties with vision and eye movement, and memory loss. People who have thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency or poor nutrition should avoid horsetail, as it may affect levels of thiamine even more. Alcoholic or malnourished individuals are often thiamine deficient and this may be worsened by horsetail."
