Bamboo Extract

Victoria Health Bamboo Extract contains a high strength of Silica and Biotin* for hair growth, stronger nails and healthy collagen production within skin.

Bamboo is rich in silica which is an essential mineral for maintaining the integrity and health of the skin, ligaments, tendons and bones as well as working to bind with other nutrients delivering these to the scalp follicles. Bamboo Extract is the richest known source of silica; it contains over 70% organic silica and is 10 times more potent than horsetail silica. Silica has a restorative effect on many of the body's tissues.

Bamboo silica supplements with biotin have a powerful influence on the absorption of minerals required by the body for optimal health. Silica enhances the function of iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and boron, and is essential for normal bone development. Silica helps to maintain the correct calcium-magnesium balance which is essential for bone health.

Bamboo Extract Plus also contains biotin. Biotin is one of several vitamins that play a role in the growth of healthy, thicker hair. Biotin also helps to strengthen weak brittle nails.

*Biotin contributes to improvement of nails resistance, the maintenance of normal skin, and is necessary for healthy teeth, bones, hair and nails.
