Bamboo leaf and stem extract concentrates orthosilicic acid, a highly absorbable form of silicon. It supports collagen synthesis, bone density, and the health of skin, hair, nails, and joints.
People take it to promote connective tissue strength and maintain skin elasticity. Taking it with meals may reduce mild stomach upset.
If you have kidney disease, consult a healthcare professional because silicon is cleared through the kidneys. Safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not established.
