Bamboo extract tablets and capsules, 100 mg to 300 mg, a botanical silica source sold as a food supplement. For importers and distributors who need clear silica standardisation and heavy metal data.

Product Description:

Bamboo extract is a botanical ingredient made from the stems of Bambusa species and standardised to its silica content. Bamboo takes up silicon from the soil and deposits it as amorphous silica in its tissues, so the extract is a concentrated plant source of the element. This page covers tablets and capsules with 100 mg, 200 mg or 300 mg of extract.

Labels may express content as silica (silicon dioxide) or as elemental silicon, and silicon makes up only about 47% of the mass of silica, so a percentage means little until the basis is clear. Ask for the standardisation level and the analytical method, gravimetric or ICP. Grasses absorb minerals from soil, so lead, cadmium and arsenic need tight limits, along with microbial counts and pesticide residues. In the EU, food supplements fall under food law and national authorities, with scientific advice from EFSA, not under the European Medicines Agency.

Sourcing notes. Request a CoA for each batch with silica assay, heavy metals, microbial limits and loss on drying, and confirm the plant part, extraction solvent and any carrier added during drying. A GMP or food safety certificate and an allergen and GMO statement are routine requests. Bottles with desiccant protect both forms in humid climates, and zone IVb stability data are worth asking for. Rules on botanical silicon sources differ, so check the local classification before ordering. Specify form, strength, count and the silica basis for the label.
