Nutricost Bamboo Extract, 400 mg, 240 Capsules - Vegan, Gluten Free and Non-GMO - 120 Servings with 800 mg

Bamboo extract is most often taken as a dietary supplement because it’s naturally rich in silica (an essential trace mineral). Silica supports the structure and strength of connective tissues. Here’s what bamboo extract we use for: 1. Hair Health • Silica strengthens hair strands, improve thickness, and supports growth. I take it is an additional support while postpartum hair loss 2. Skin Support • Promotes collagen production, which may help with firmness and elasticity. • Sometimes used for reducing signs of aging like fine lines. It definitely helped my skin look better- I am 40 3. Nail Strength • Silica made my brittle nails stronger and less prone to breaking. Overall we liked how this product works! Sushi tequila

I feel adding silica to my diet has made me stronger overall more healthy in the short time I've been taking it. Further testing is needed though, I think to experience the full effects would take a year or two of consistent use, perhaps more. There was a study done on two young sickly and weak chickens, one was given silica with its feed, the other not. The silica diet chicken grew to be healthy and robust. The one that didn't receive silica continued to be sickly and weak as it grew. Then you have gorillas who get a ton of this stuff in their daily diets. One of the healthiest and most robust creatures on earth. Have you ever seen a weak gorilla? I feel that humans are missing vital nutrients such as silica in our diets that if supplemented, would transform our health and lives.

I noticed the difference in taking this and yes the results tells all. Thank you.

I take a lot of supplements for various purposes, and I love silica. I use it as part of my beauty routine because silica is necessary for collagen synthesis and has a positive impact on my skin, hair, and nails, combined with other supplements. Additionally, silica has an alkalizing effect on the body.

I really can't tell yet if it's working, but I am pleased with my choice.

Bamboo is amazing for your hair. It makes your hair shiny, strong, and thicker.

The new smaller capsules are easier to swallow and take up less space in my pill box. 😉
