Bamboo Silica

High-Potency Silica for Bones, Hair, Skin & Connective Tissue • Bamboo-derived • Magnesium-based formula • Exceptional daily value Silicon is naturally present in bone and connective tissues, including skin, hair and nails. Research suggests it may be involved in collagen formation, bone mineralization and the structural integrity of connective tissue.

NutriStart Bamboo Silica provides a highly concentrated source of silica from bamboo extract, along with magnesium—giving you a simple, affordable way to add these important structural nutrients to your daily routine.

Why Choose NutriStart Bamboo Silica? Concentrated bamboo extract containing approximately 70% silica, Provides 65 mg of magnesium

  • Supports healthy bones and connective tissue
  • Helps maintain healthy hair, skin and nails
  • One convenient capsule per day

More Than a Beauty Mineral - Silica is often marketed for hair, skin and nails, but the science around silicon goes considerably deeper. Bone isn’t made from calcium alone. Much of its underlying framework is made from collagen, which gives bone its structure and flexibility before minerals are deposited into it. Laboratory and animal research suggests silicon is involved in type I collagen production and bone mineralization, while human observational research has found associations between higher dietary silicon intake and greater bone mineral density. Human supplementation research is still developing, so silica shouldn’t be viewed as a replacement for established bone-health nutrients such as vitamin D, calcium or magnesium. Instead, it may be another valuable piece of the nutritional foundation that supports healthy bone and connective tissue.

The Bamboo Advantage Not all natural sources of silica provide the same concentration. Traditional horsetail extracts typically contain relatively modest amounts of silica. NutriStart instead uses a concentrated bamboo extract standardized to approximately 70% silica. That means one capsule provides 70 mg of silica without requiring multiple capsules throughout the day. For anyone who wants meaningful silica intake without a complicated supplement routine, that concentration is an important part of the value.

Silica, Collagen & Connective Tissue One of the most interesting areas of silica research involves collagen. Collagen is a major structural protein found throughout the body—in skin, bone, cartilage, tendons and other connective tissues. Research suggests silicon may participate in collagen synthesis and stabilization. Clinical research using certain bioavailable forms of silicon has also reported improvements in measures related to skin, hair and nail quality. It provides a credible scientific reason why silica continues to attract interest for both beauty and structural health.

Why We Add Magnesium NutriStart Bamboo Silica also provides 65 mg of magnesium per capsule. We think that makes more nutritional sense than simply adding more calcium. Magnesium itself contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and is involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions throughout the body. Pairing magnesium with silica gives the formula a broader approach to skeletal health.

A Simple Formula With Long-Term Value Many supplements promise dramatic results with increasingly complicated ingredient lists. Bamboo Silica takes the opposite approach. You get a concentrated source of bamboo-derived silica, useful magnesium, convenient once-daily dosing and up to 240 servings in the larger bottle. It’s straightforward nutrition designed for people who want ongoing support for bones, connective tissue, hair, skin and nails without taking another handful of capsules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is silica? Silica is a naturally occurring form of silicon. Silicon is found in foods, water and many tissues in the human body, with particular scientific interest surrounding its presence in bone and connective tissue.

Why use bamboo? Bamboo can provide a much more concentrated natural source of silica than many traditional botanical sources such as horsetail. NutriStart’s bamboo extract is approximately 70% silica, allowing one capsule to provide 70 mg.

Is silica only for hair, skin and nails? No. Those are popular reasons people take silica, but some of the most interesting scientific research concerns collagen, connective tissue and bone mineralization.

How much silica is in one capsule? Each capsule provides 70 mg of silica from 100 mg of concentrated bamboo extract, along with 65 mg of magnesium.

How do I take Bamboo Silica? Take one capsule daily, or as directed on the product label or by your healthcare professional.
