Micro Ingredients Organic Bamboo Extract Powder, 8oz (378 Servings) | Bamboo Plant Silica & Mineral Supplements | Natural Stem & Leaf Extract | Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan Friendly

Powder is white and is a bit gritty. I add a scoop into my morning coffee with stevia extract. Pleasant, mild taste. I also take a scoop mixed with water. Doesn't really dissolve but it's doable. Would be great in capsules if you can't deal with gritty textures, or add to smoothies. I added a scoop to a teaspoon of Cocoanut oil and used as toothpaste. Polishes nicely & left my teeth and mouth feeling silky smooth. I'm using this to help rebuild my connective tissue, repair my nerves and gut lining- all damaged from chronic lyme disease that went undiagnosed for 20+ years. I have only been using this twice daily for six days so far BUT holy smokes! I'm seeing visual results already. My skin is ever so slightly plumber, especially my aging neck skin, and I wouldn't mind if this continues to improve the longer I use it, but my finger nails! Holy smokes! They are stronger now than ever before, they used to be rather transparent.... Now they are almost fully solid, healthy white.... Seems like they are filling in and getting stronger first as I haven't had a surge of length yet but I Know to expect that as soon as my body is done filling in the gaps so to speak. Also: cellulite has visually lessened... Slightly but enough for me to notice. Not sure what to think of that but this is the only thing different I'm doing so maybe it is healing my fascia and connective tissue quicker than anticipated? I'll post another review as time goes on with how it's working for me. Happy health & healing to all my Lymie friends out there!!!

The bag seal was too strong and broke upon opening, so I poured it in a mason jar and cut the label out to tape on. Be careful and do this outside if you have to cause it is very powdery and easily kicks up into the air. It came with a measuring spoon for accurate dosing. The supplement itself is great, it doesn’t taste too bad I wouldn’t say it tastes good either, it’s mild flavored. I have noticed some minor tummy troubles the first few doses however silica can help aid the body in detox so I wouldn’t blame the supplement for causing it directly, if it were the cause I would still be getting sick but I’m not anymore. I really appreciate this product cause I want to regularly take my supplements but was not about to spend hundreds of dollars a year on subscription. This saves me so much money for such a large supply.

Flavorless which is wonderful when adding into a smoothie… I feel it’s a good value for the money as it enhances your hair and nails among other benefits. A real value for the money in my opinion.

Good

Easy to mix into water or your preferred drink with no strong taste. Gentle on digestion for me and a simple way to add into a daily routi

I stumbled upon "Bamboo Extract Powder" when reading about natural products to increase collagen production and the richest natural source of Silica for strengthening bone density, hair growth as well as skin and nail health! With Bamboo Extract you actually get 10 times more silica than any other natural source, such as the herb Horsetail. Very excited to receive this product so quickly and to be using this for any number of issues that commonly occur: improve bone density in osteoporosis, reducing pain from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hair loss, hair thickness, skin health & youthfulness, strengthen nails, improve gum and dental health, lower hypertension (high blood pressure), muscle cramps & pain, allergy relief, etc, etc. However, be aware that consumption of Bamboo Extract with it's high levels of Silica can be dehydrating and attempts to over hydrate can cause a depletion in potassium and long term use can cause serious depletion of Vitamin B1 (thiamine).

I have been using this product for almost a year now, and yes, the bag does have enough servings for more than a year! Along with skin and bone weakness, my nails had been tearing and breaking a lot. So I was used to keeping them short so that only a bit of white past the nail bed was visible. Within about two months, I was noticing that I had to trim my nails every week! Long nails are not practical for me, but I let them grow and painted them. Now it was much less work than keeping them short. Ha! I have seen comments about the taste, but I don't notice anything significant. I usually sprinkle on top of my yogurt or cereal. I recently purchased a collagen product from Microingredients, and have had positive results as well. Excellent product with a very good price. 👍👍

Never tried it until now, not sure what to expect in terms of color and taste. I do however know what matcha smells and tastes like and this definitely smells and tastes like matcha. Is it supposed to be similar??? I’m so confused.
