How Does YourHappyLife Use Bamboo Extract in Supplements?

Used in Collagen Advanced, bamboo extract supports collagen synthesis, strengthens hair shafts, and improves skin’s elasticity and glow.

How Does Bamboo Extract Work?

Bamboo extract promotes wellness through multiple mechanisms:

• Radiant, supple skin: Silica enhances skin glow and firmness by supporting hydration and boosting collagen production.

• Skin barrier reinforcement: Repairs and strengthens the outer layer of skin. This helps you recover from acne damage and protect against pollutants and bacteria.

• Detoxification: Acts as a natural purifier and helps clear the skin of toxins.

• Antioxidant defense: Flavonoids and other compounds protect skin cells from oxidative stress and free radicals, preventing fine lines, signs of aging, and UV damage.

• Moisture retention: Silica in bamboo extract aids GAG synthesis, locking in moisture for supple, healthy skin.

How Does YourHappyLife Source Its Bamboo Extract?

Silica-rich extract is derived from young bamboo shoots using water extraction and spray drying—preserving nutrient quality.
