I have a big bag of bamboo extract powder (like this; Amazon product ASIN B07CXK6M1GView: https://www.amazon.com/Powerfully-Supports-Minerals-Essential-Friendly/dp/B07CXK6M1G
).
I stopped taking a lot of things, and now I am adding them back in. I am interested in Bamboo extract for hair/skin benefits. One reason Bamboo shoots are thought to be good for hair is the naturally occurring silica in them.
So:
I know Ray and Peatarians seem to love Bamboo Shoots.
They also seem to dislike Silica as an additive to supplements.
But the Silica disliked by Peat is the unnatural Silica Dioxide mined from quartz, and the studies referenced are about dangers of INHALING the nano-particles of unnatural silica dioxide that is used as an additive.. (Silica In Supplements: What Is It And Why Is It Bad?)
It doesn't seem like the same fears would extend to naturally occurring silica in something like bamboo extract...But I'm curious what people here think. What are you thoughts on Bamboo Extract? Bad because of silica content? Good because, bamboos? Thanks.
