Bamboo Shoots

Bamboo is a natural source of silicic acid, in other words silicon. It is precisely this high natural silicon content that makes bamboo extract valued as a food supplement. It is therefore one of the most popular plant-based sources of silicon and offers a natural alternative to mineral forms.

Silicic acid is the natural form in which silicon occurs in plants such as bamboo. Silicon is a trace element found in many plant-based foods. Bamboo is considered a particularly silicon-rich plant and is therefore specifically used for extracts.

At Scheunengut, you'll find bamboo extract in lab-tested quality, made in Germany without unnecessary additives. The raw material is obtained from this silicon-rich plant and cleanly processed. This gives you a natural source of silicon with traceable quality.

Look for a declared silicon content, high purity and lab-tested manufacturing. Because the content of plant-based silicon sources can vary, transparent labelling is important. Our bamboo extract is made in Germany and tested for purity.
