Bamboo Extract

Bamboo Extract by DoSe contains naturally sourced, high strength of silica in a supplement with Biotin* for hair growth, stronger nails and healthy collagen production within skin. This bamboo supplement for healthy hair, skin and nails delivers 600mg of bamboo extract per daily serving of two capsules. 

Bamboo supplements provide several health benefits as they are rich in silica which is an essential mineral for maintaining the integrity and health of the skin, ligaments, tendons, bones, and nails 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 supplements, aside from silica, are a rich source of fibre, minerals, and antioxidants.
