VitaSanum® - Bamboo extract (Bambusa vulgaris) 350 mg 90 capsules VitaSanum® Bamboo extract is obtained from bamboo plants and is used as a dietary supplement. Here are some potential benefits of bamboo extract: Source of silicon: Bamboo extract is a natural source of silicon, a mineral important for bone health and collagen formation. Silicon is also associated with skin health. Bone health: Silicon plays a role in bone mineralization and may help support bone density. This could be particularly beneficial in the prevention of osteoporosis. Skin health: Silicon is important for the formation of collagen, a structural protein in the skin. A sufficient level of silicon could therefore help maintain skin elasticity. Nail and hair health: Silicon may also help support nail and hair health because it is involved in the structure of keratin, the protein that forms hair and nails. Antioxidant properties: Bamboo extract contains antioxidants that may help protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. Joint health: Silicon may play a role in supporting joint health by promoting collagen production and thus supporting joint structures. Blood sugar levels: There is some evidence that silicon may affect blood sugar levels. This could potentially be beneficial in preventing diabetes or regulating blood sugar levels. Circulatory system: Silicon may also have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system by supporting the elasticity of blood vessels.&Contraindications: It is important to note that research on bamboo extract and its potential benefits is not as extensive as some other supplements. Results may vary, and it is advisable to speak to a healthcare provider before taking bamboo extract as a dietary supplement, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking medications.
