Nutrients & Applications:
Bamboo contains over 70% organic silica extract and is the richest known source of natural silica. It plays an important role in the integrity of the skin, ligaments, tendons and bone. It is necessary for the body's silica stores to be maintained to promote good health. Bamboo can improve the strength of teeth (as well as whitening) and helps condition the hair, nails, gums and skin. It is therefore used successfully in cosmetics and toothpaste. It has been used to minimize the effects of premature aging.
