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.

A friend suggested I take a bamboo supplement to help with my nails and hair. But I've also learned that It helps to strengthen the connective tissues of the brain, nerve cells, and spinal cord thereby improving memory and helping to prevent memory loss. Silica also helps stabilize the pancreas's release of insulin! Silica is absolutely essential to bone growth and for the development of the body. When you are young, your body has abundant levels of silica which is why children normally have beautiful silky hair, soft skin and perfect nails. Silica also promotes proper mineral balance between calcium and magnesium within the body. If you want your nails, skin, and hair to be healthy, turn to silica and this brand is reasonably priced and easy to use. I just add it to my daily smoothie, yoghurt or applesauce.

I use it w MSM and collagen & it seems to be working. Actually working very well. Skin is plumper, little hairs growing just after a week of use. I just mix w little water in a bottle and add MSM powder and shake and there is no issue whatsoever as it mixes perfectly this way, then I just drink it like a shot. However, I learned that one needs to buy supplements from reputable companies that are known for purity and high standards. Contaminants and low purity could be an issue. Also they offer third party lab testing on demand and ChatGPT told me that they are not transparent on providing these heavy metal and contaminants tests….Things could be ok but may not be good for long term consumption. I googled this company and their website is not even well written actually sloppily written…hmmm Also when I googled company reviews, there are complaints when people ask about sourcing. Company is based in California but sourcing is from China. Overall, I an not sure about the standards. May continue to take for a bit to see if this has any effect then will buy from a reputable source like Now brands or something. Also be careful, product is non-returnable. I wish I did my due diligence and research before I bought it.

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. 👍👍

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.

I love the texture of the powder. Not sure why some reviewers would buy a Organic green plant extract powder and then be upset that its green . I put this is my alkaline water along with barley grass juice powder and some powder monk fruit..Its awesome. I can tell the changes in my skin and hair..It being 70% silica and organic..So very happy with this product..Still think its funny that some reviewers are upset its green..Never seen a bamboo plant that was any other color..Thank you Very happy....:)
