Bamboo extract contains fiber, which can help with digestion; silica, an important mineral the body needs to function; natural antioxidants, which help keep the body safe from free radicals (unstable chemical compounds that harm the body); and essential minerals, like vitamin D and calcium.
Bamboo has been used for thousands of years in Asia for its many health benefits. According to one health resource:
“Native to the Asian continent, bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the flora. The extract of this plant has long been used to treat rheumatism and regenerate cartilage. The bamboo liquid secreted in the stems is particularly rich in silicon oxide, a compound that is essential to support the skin’s tissues. In addition to silica, bamboo extract is rich in flavones, glycosides, phenolic acids and amino acids. It is known for its properties as an antioxidant, a soothing agent, and an astringent (causing contraction, as in the tightening of the skin).”
According to multiple sources, nearly 85 million Americans struggle with skin conditions. Bamboo extract can help protect people from outside forces that can exert harm on the skin. Taking just one example, sun damage, Bamboo Extract can help heal and restore the skin from a lifetime of sun exposure. That could not have come at a better time, too, as a study published by the American Academy of Dermatology found that Americans are undergoing more harm from sun-related illness than ever before. The study found that more than one-third of Americans reported experiencing severe sunburn each year, the highest ever recorded. Further, that same study found that 63% of Americans spend time in the sun without sufficient protection, up from 54% just a few years ago.
Bamboo Extract Benefits for the Hair, Skin, and Nails
The human body is constantly regenerating itself, a miracle of biology that allows humans to continue to live, thrive, and maintain their basic features and physiological makeup throughout their lifetime. However, as with other aspects of human biology, the human body’s regenerative and regrowth features can become stunted or impaired. That is where Bamboo Extract benefits come in.
Because bamboo is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and an antibiotic, it is a powerhouse for rejuvenation, cell growth, and hair health. Some of the basics of the benefits found in Immune Solution’s 100% Natural Bamboo Extract are as follows, directly quoted from Immune Solution’s Founder and Owner, Jackie Page:
- “Bamboo Extract is naturally a rich source of organic silica, which is an essential nutrient for humans. Silica particularly plays a great role in keeping the hair, skin, and nails healthy.”
- “Your body naturally loses essential nutrients every day. Bamboo Extract replenishes the lost essential nutrient biotin, which boosts health of hair & nails.”
- “Bamboo Extract is known to promote collagen production, which provides elasticity & firmness to skin, as well as increases hair-building proteins, which can result in longer, thicker hair and reduce the appearance of gray hair.”
Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in your body? It is also the organ most exposed to toxins, chemicals, harmful UV rays, radiation, toxicity, pollution, microplastics, and other aspects of the outside world that can harm humans. That’s why the skin requires a balance of nutrients to stay healthy.
Bamboo Extract is exactly what the skin needs to be healthy. Jackie Page, the innovator behind Immune Solution's Bamboo Extract, said, “The silica from bamboo extract improves skin health by helping the body absorb essential minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Bamboo extract also offers anti-irritant properties, soothing the skin when applied directly through lotions or creams. It also contains antioxidants, helping to minimize wrinkles and naturally boost youthful radiance for healthy skin. The result? Healthier, cleaner, smoother skin that is less easily irritated by allergens, hereditary skin conditions, and adverse atmospheric conditions.”
Bamboo Extract for Hair
Like the skin, human hair is also very sensitive to environmental conditions, allergies, and aging. Many people seek solutions for healthy hair, and bamboo extract can help many reach that goal by keeping hair ducts clear and open. When used in shampoos, bamboo extract is good at washing away dead skin cells and other unwanted agents that can build up on hair strands, thus deteriorating them and causing harm. By playing a role in removing a build-up of pollutants, body oils, and chemicals on the hair, bamboo extract can also add a natural shine and luster to hair that makes it youthful and exuberant.
The silica in bamboo is an incredible boon to hair. It reverses the natural aging process without using chemicals and artificial, invasive methodologies. The silica is plant-based, so it is a natural solution to something that is naturally occurring.
Hair, Skin, and Nails: It’s All in the Bamboo
The hair, skin, and nails are all external aspects of the human body that are natural extensions of the body’s internal systems. The silica in Bamboo Extract doesn’t just affect the external aspects of the human body; it also positively affects those internal systems. The extract strengthens the musculoskeletal system (bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissues). The produced collagen improves the absorption of vitamin D & calcium, greatly beneficial to bones & joints for improved density & flexibility. Additionally, research shows Bamboo Extract bolsters the strength and condition of the teeth, improves metabolism, restores energy levels, reduces triglycerides (constituents of body fat), and lowers “bad” (LDL) cholesterol levels, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease and helping people reach a healthy weight.
Becoming Informed About Health, Acquiring Knowledge, and Taking Responsibility for Creating a Healthier Life
Every aspect of one’s health is important and requires one to become informed and educated. Once people understand the nuances and intricacies of health, it’s easier for them to take responsibility for their health and implement a plan that works. Immune Solution is committed to helping people access the organization’s knowledge gained over 50+ years in natural health and wellness.
