If you’re worried about bone health, it’s likely you’ve been told to increase calcium or magnesium intake. But the real culprit may be another mineral – plant silica.
Silica gives us silicon, which helps energize bone formation and contributes to great looking hair, skin and nails. Unfortunately, our diets typically only give us about half the amount of silicon linked to good bone health.
In this episode Carl reviews the best way to increase silicon intake from supplements, which is from the plant silica found in bamboo shoots.
Tune in to hear what your target intake for silicon should be, and why bamboo shoots can be so valuable for strong bones and beautiful hair, nails, and skin.
