  • PotassiumPotassium: Horsetail may possess potassium-depleting properties that may cause hypokalemia (4094471).
  • ThiamineThiamine: The silicon component of horsetail can break down thiamine and cause thiamine deficiency. This has been demonstrated only in animal models (8). Currently there is a lack of human clinical cases documenting this interaction.
