Bambusa arundinacea

Bambusa arundinacea is a botanical source of silica, a silicon-containing compound found in bamboo tissue. Silicon has been studied for its relationship with connective-tissue structure.

• Scientific identity: Bambusa arundinacea; plant part: Stem and node exudate of Bambusa arundinacea.
• How it works: Extracted from the bamboo stem: The stems and nodes of Bambusa arundinacea accumulate silica, and extracts are made from that material. Standardised to silica: Commercial extracts are standardised to a high percentage of silica, which is the reason the material is used at all.
• Primary function: Its plant-derived silica complements formulas designed around hair, skin, nails and broader connective-tissue nutrition.
• What it supports: Bambusa arundinacea contributes plant-derived silica to a wider nutritional routine focused on connective tissue, hair, skin and nail wellness.
• Important consideration: Botanical quality depends on source identity, standardisation and appropriate quality testing.

CARPEDIEM selected Bambusa arundinacea for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: Its plant-derived silica complements formulas designed around hair, skin, nails and broader connective-tissue nutrition.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM Hair Skin Nails.
• Works alongside: Bambusa arundinacea complements Biotin, Hyaluronic Acid and L-Lysine to support a balanced plant-and-nutrient formulation.
• Meaningful contribution: Bambusa arundinacea contributes plant-derived silica to a wider nutritional routine focused on connective tissue, hair, skin and nail wellness. Contributes plant-derived silicon compounds studied in relation to connective tissues.
• Quality and scientific context: Botanical quality depends on source identity, standardisation and appropriate quality testing. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
