Bamboo is an eco-friendly fast-growing tree species from the grass family highly utilized throughout human history for its industrial versatility as a fiber and building resource. Most people are familiar with young boiled or fermented shoots, but from a nutritional standpoint, it is also becoming more well-known for use as a nutritive tea and supplement extract. This is because it is believed to be one of the highest plant-based sources of the mineral known as silica.
Here is this video, we'll discuss the benefits of silica supplementation and the best variety to use to optimize nutrient uptake. Also, learn more about the traditional uses and preparations, like bamboo shavings (Zhu Ru) and tabashir, as an herbal substance and their health-enhancing influence.

Another extremely important point is that the silica actually pulls heavy metals out of the body. Especially aluminium as the silica is negatively charged. We should all be using this today!
Here, here!
By any chance do you use a specific brand of bamboo silica as i wanted to buy some
@@SuperfoodEvolution I don't want you to think i'm being a smarty pants but it's : " Hear , Hear " ... I always thought it was the way you spelled it also and then i found out differently .
When the British House of Commons and Parliament comes on TV here in America the first time i watched it , every now and then somebody would say
" Hear, hear ! " .
Their style is so much more fascinating , entertaining, mercurial and ... comical , that i couldn't believe it and decided to look up the origins of " Hear , hear! " .
I do!!!!
@@gardensofthegods HA! I was just thinking that!!
Silica use to be somewhat known to reduce scar tissue, even within the body.
Excess scar tissues can impede bodily functions.
Hi Kathleen. Thank you so much for sharing this. Can you tell me where you heard this? And what do you mean by scar tissue inside the body?
Thank you for the rich dietary information of Bamboo!
Praise the Lord HIS beautiful garden of Life!
Something not mentioned here is that the silica actually pulls heavy metals out of the body. Especially aluminium as the silica is negatively charged. We should all be using this today.
Diatomaceous Earth is around 90% silica. Start out slow like 1/8 of a teaspoon and slowly increase it to 1 to 2 tbsp a day
If you want yourhful skin and flexible joints get on bamboo or horsetail for the silica
Another good plant source is diatomaceous earth (phytoplankton). This was so comprehensive, thank you!
I'm so happy you provided the nuance to bamboo as a source of silica vice other sources.
Most bioavailable silica is in green peas, according to research. But holistic nutritionists say, that the best source of silica is in the oats, which are still in their outer, flexible shell (encasing the grain itself). What I do is take those oats, soak overnight and in the morning I make a plant milk out of them. Then I take the shredded pieces, which remain, and boil them in water for half an hour. I add the strained liquid to fruit smoothies.
I can't say if they are. But I mean those whole oat grains, which are tightly encapsuled in a leaf like thingie... You don't get them anywhere, I believe. And I would gladly read your material, confirming that "oats are hybrid".
I heard cucumber skins are best food source and mineral waters from volcanic areas are supposed to be good too... but, I will certainly increase green pea consumption... the oats thing sounds like too much work for us though ... my son is in the navy and gets flu shots every year, I can't even imagine what the aluminum is doing to him... and I want to increase his silica intake any way I can... silica is a metal chelator, apparently and vaccines are chock full of aluminum and the flu shots have mercury as well... I think the silica helps chelate mercury as well... if you or anyone reading this, silica can be an antidote to a vaccine injury... I have heard of people who were seriously injured by vaccine and lost speech, ability to walk etc... and the drs told them it was permanent, and they tried a healing approach involving silica... particularly silica rich mineral waters and they recovered and went on to lead normal lives... whether it is true or not... if you think you've been injured by a vaccine, it certainly cannot hurt to try the silica remedy.
@@OfftoShambala FIJI water is supposed to be high in silica , very high .
There was a doctor here to try to tell you how to make your own pure water and he said the other alternative was FIji.
I can't find his channel now but when i say doctor he was a PhD and don't know if it was Biochemistry or something like that .
But in that case then wouldn't GROATS be the best ?
@@Apollo440 I think you are describing and talkin about Groats ... which I have here but i keep forgetting to put out at night to soak overnightb.
What color should bamboo extract powder be? I've see both dark tannish or white. Only answers I can find are from those thinking it should be the color of the one they take. Please help, thank you :)
Fiji water is good source of silica
Yes, but expensive. A source with less bioavailability might provide more bang for your buck. Then again, I don't know if silica from bamboo can pass the blood brain barrier, which is important for detoxing aluminium. Whether it does or not wouldn't effect it's benefits for teeth, skin and bones.
@@Eman_Puedama yes I agree with you though I would like to know if it does pass the blood-brain barrier .
Oh Foreal???
Fiji water is also a really good source. Great video!
Yes , that's supposed to be true but I still haven't ordered any in a powder or tincture as I just can't seem to decide which form to buy it in and i do drink Fiji Water but not as much as i should .
of silica?
@@logical_lb3059 yes
I’ve heard that Fiji water is a good source of boron as well.
Maybe so but it is filled with plastic toxin called palates. This occurs because the company fill the warm to hot plastic bottles before letting them cool .just a heads up on that.
Love
Donwe have to be careful of inhaling the dust as with dry clay powder because of concerns for getting silicosis? Im so excited to hear about its use in baking gluten free!, But will wear a mask until hearing back from you! Thankyou so much!,
EXCELLENT VIDEO! THANK YOU!
Does it deplete the silica content of the soil when bamboo is grown season after season?
WOW I did Not know this.
THANK YOU !
If I take 500 mg of bamboo stem extract and it says 70% organic silica then how much silica am I getting? Is it over the necessary or safe amount per day? Thanks.
Can you tell me what brand you're using ? ...are you saying you're using something like a tincture ?
I am looking to buy some bamboo silica but don't even know where to start and i have a lot of research ahead of me
It's supposed to tell you how much silica you're getting per whatever , per capsule or per teaspoon , per gram .... I'm wondering what brand you bought so that i can probably avoid it .
500 mg x 70% is 350 mg ... so you're getting 350 mg of silica if they're accurate about the 70%
Is ot true that those with thyroid problems should not take bamboo?
Great video, thank you! Needs more trials/studies before I'm sold on it's availability but, looks promising.
Can humans eat bamboo leaf extract and oil used in cooking? Bamboo recipes for breakfast or lunch or snacks or dinner recipes?
I love Bamboo :)
Great video, thank you so much!
Is it okay to drink bamboo leaves tea? For the kidneys with no relevant toxicity?
Thank
What is the difference between the brown bamboo powder and white bamboo powder?
I'd like to know the answer to that also
Does anyone know if Bamboo powder is still safe to consume? I was reading that it contains a very small amount of taxiphyllin, a chemical that causes cyanide to form. If you were taking small amounts of the powder, for years, would this affect you?
Countries in Asia are aware of this and grow Bamboo that is low in toxicity. They have also been consuming this for thousands of years. I think it should be safe. What do you guys think?
Marina Elisa I have a quality source.
@@justinfrazier3610 what's the source?
It's safe when heated by boiling first doesn't matter where it comes from or who has the best 100%, or still have to be heated to kill cyanide.. even if it for 5minutes
Better consuming bamboo shoot...
I know boiling takes out toxicity, but what about all the nutrients and silica a well?
Wow! This is awesome information
Glad you found it useful...
@@SuperfoodEvolution
Are you aware that silica also removes heavy metals from the body? One extremely good reason to take bamboo today.
I recently bought bamboo sillica capsules 3000 mgs each I was told it will help with lower back pain and joint pain is this true ? I'm barely on my first day
sillica helps to produce collagen in the body which increases the speed of repair. So yes it can help with back pain and joint pain but I'm not sure by how much it can help. Has it helped already? Other things like MSM, collagen powder, copper and manganese can also increase collagen production which I'm using too, and it really did help me. I overused my shoulders during training and got an injury over time. The supplements helped for healing
@@tzumer2534 ok thanks I just started it's my first week taking it
What effects has its shown in ur body? Pls update😇
@@priyankab6835 as of now everything still the same let's see how I feel a month or two from now
@gerrygizzygarcia2572 please update your results.
Try and get silica and it’s ionic form in liquid for best of absorption
I want plant bamboo in home
Is there supposed to be non water soluble crystals in the powder?
What about the cyanide that I'm warned needs to be boiled out of bamboo shoots. If I make tea from untreated bamboo shoots will I be getting levels of cyanide?
did u get an answer?
Thank you for you medication the more you read the more you know
Is it good for the bones
ZHU RU
Good knowledge
Very good video
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
@@SuperfoodEvolution Your channel always does excellent work , very professional but also laid back and relaxed .
GREAT INFORMATION, IS IT RESPONSIBLE FOR HEIGHT GROWTH ALSO, PLZ REPLY FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY. THANKS A LOT.
😂 8 months and still no reply. Oh, the humanity!
It helps in bone formation, so yes, if you're under 25 and have other nutrients, it'll help
How much silica should I eat a day at age 53 and bad bone problem
Have you started taking the silica yet and if so how much and what kind of results are you seeing ?
Spoonful in water. Food grade diatomaceous earth.
3 tea spoons: I take 1 heaping tea spn. at Bedtime, Morning and 2 to 3 pm. Also, mix in glass with 3 Tab. Spn. of DMSO stir until desolve rub/massage into the painful area 3 time's throughout day until all paint stops for 30 plus days.
Taking more is not better as silica is poorly absorbed. Large amounts will simply pass through the digestive system and be excreted. For silica supplementation in general , I prefer diatomaceous earth added to water. I let the DE settle and the pour the water off the top to drink. Then add more water to dissolve more of the silica. DE is 80% silica. I add it to water first to let it react forming orthosilicic acid (OA) as this is the form absorbed and utilized by the body. Silica is poorly absorbed because this conversion is low to begin with. Therefore, taking a larger amount of silica just means most will go to waste as it passes through the system. Taking the silica my way as OA means absorption of small amounts of OA every time I take a drink of water throughout the day, which means more overall OA actually getting in the bloodstream by the end of the day as opposed to taking silica supplements, most of which will simply pass through the system, several times a day.
I have a lot of information on silica and ingesting DE for silica on Facebook under Science Based Natural Healing.
Does bamboo essential oil have hi amounts of silica for the skin?
I never heard of bamboo essential oil can you please tell me where you bought that and what kind of results you had with it ?
Food grade diatomaceous earth
Very nice 👍👍👍
Stay connected
I have bamboo garden but I didn’t know it’s uses for medicine.
Why did I get seat of bamboo in Botswana
Now you know!! How fortunate to have a Bamboo garden!!
Thank you, very informative
I don't doubt its benefits for the rest of the body, but can this form of silica pass the blood brain barrier? Professor Chris Exley says it can't.
We don't know the answer to that sorry...
Is Chris Exley the gentleman who talks about how to purify your water and he also mentions that Fiji brand water is the best because it has the highest amount of natural silica of all the waters out there ?
Or am i thinking of someone else ?
@@gardensofthegods I sure hope he's not. Fiji water is distributed in plastic, and there are tons of studies showing that even the best water is ruined when held in plastics. It only takes drinking a sip of Fiji to know it's not very good water. He's for sure for sure for sure got a deal with Fiji water if he is saying that.
@@lindsaywilliambrown808that's insane...Fiji water is excellent and tastes perfect
This is not a perfect world
Plastic was invented
How about the silica in diatomaceous earth?
inorganic, same as in other types of clay. It's like eating chalk for calcium - you don't do that. You rather drink sesame seed milk for calcium.
Diatoms, which is what DE is from are plant form, not rock mineral, I believe it may be inaccurate to call the silica inorganic since it is not from earth-based substance like sand, etc.
I know what you mean, and I too would hope that DE is a good source of silica. But I believe it isn't the silica our body can readily absorb.
I also think, that, in order to be organic, the silica should be in a living cell, thus containing bioactive material, bonded with the silica.
How else would the science research be explained, which proved that absorption of silica is greatest from green peas, rather than from horsetail?
Therefore, I believe the biology should be in place, enabling our body to absorb the amounts of silica, offered by the source.
And I think, that DE is just dead organisms which have silica as a component. Is it from a once living source? Yes. Is it bioavailable? I don’t think so.
Look up whole unseeded oats as an alternative.
Wonder how to make foodgrade diatomaceous earth more bioavailable
I sort of remember people debating this on a DE forum, but few agreed on anything. I really don't use DE on any regular basis, I take a bamboo supplement, I used to use the Biosil liquid. Other than my mostly organic plant based diet, which may or may not be high in silica, I am still researching and learning about this mineral. I am hoping that bamboo is a good source, but the moment I learn it has it's problems, I will have to possibly reconsider its use. Some researchers like Ray Peat don't think people should supplement with silica.
What about horsetail? I thought you could get silica from horsetail.
Yes it's said that you can, we have an old video on that...
bamboo has 10x more silica than horsetail...diatomaceous earth has a high %age of silica as well
@@JahleeyahKalonji yes but in this video notice how they talk about people having trouble with the bioavailability of the bamboo silica and that's why maybe a person just might be better off getting that liquid tincture
But not as much
@@JahleeyahKalonji I have a whole bag of that I was thinking about taking it again
Kind of ironic to have honey listed as a superfood when it's practically all fructose which causes fatty liver disease.
There's good sugars and bad sugars just like there's good fats and bad fats
I'm really starting to think that honey really is different from all the other sugars because they found some in pots in I forget if it was Egypt or China but it was thousands of years old and it still was as good as fresh
@@gardensofthegods It's not quite so simple. Sure, there are situations in which you would want to eat sugary things for health, such as if you were a bodybuilder. And then, sure, the kind of sugar you eat matters. Fructose ≠ Glucose ≠ Lactose. They behave differently, and you may have more success with a different ratio of each. Neither is inherently "bad" per se.
But the real reason people talk about "bad fats" and "bad sugars" has less to do with the _actual thing,_ and more to do with the things that come with it. People consider fructose healthy, for instance, because it's associated with fruit. And fruits is associated with water soluble vitamins, fibre and electrolytes, all of which remedy dramatic fluctuations in blood sugar and body chemistry as a result of ingesting something toxic or simply eating too much of something. Same with fats. The foods you deem good or bad all contain essentially the same kinds of fats. There are some special fatty acids you can only get here and there, but for the most part the only difference between them is in the amounts. And as it was never proven, the reason saturated fat, for instance, is antagonised, has to do with it being associated with meat, which in the context of a vegan economic agenda has been officially defined as a negative.
As for honey, it's essentially just a dessert syrup with trace amounts of proteins from plant pollen and dead bees. Whether that is a net benefit for you depends entirely on context. I would be wary of eating anything that has stayed around for thousands of years without being consumed by some living organism. If thousands of years of microorganisms have decided based on evolutionary mechanisms that the food in question is inedible, and left it alone, eating it is probably a bad idea for humans too.
@@___xyz___ Marie , there are many of us who believe honey is a gift from the gods .
@@gardensofthegods That's subjective. Personally, I believe chocolate is a gift from the gods. Completely unrelated to health.
Nice
Thanks!
Does bamboo leaf tea smell like GRASS or regular HEY ? hope i did not get a fake product in the mail :)
Food grade diatomaceous earth...
Why shops here selling it as pest killer? Diatomaceous Earth causes insects to dry out and die by absorbing the oils and fats from the cuticle of the insect's exoskeleton. Its sharp edges are abrasive, speeding up the process. It remains effective as long as it is kept dry and undisturbed.
- Effective in eliminating garden snails

oh so det i med kit
so this is MED kit nice
Bamboo wow what about the polar bear aren't they becoming distinct because of the loss of the bamboo and silica isn't that use in Plastics it's not alkaline our bodies
