Den approximately how much growth have you received in the last 2-3 weeks since using the bamboo silica?
In the middle and back areas I received 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch in the front. I've just had my hair relaxed, i'll post my newgrowth shots over the next few weeks, as proof. Oh i forgot to add, i've also been taking EFAs

What's the difference between bamboo silica and Biosil? Jarrow claims that:

"Only biosil contains a highly potent 2% solution of stabilized, biologically active stabilized, concentrated Orthosilicic Acid. Horsetail, algae and polymerized silicic acid have a relatively poor rate of conversion to stabilized, concentrated Orthosilicic Acid and, thus, are not well absorbed. Human studies indicate that while silicon from horsetail absorbs slightly better than the colloidal form, BioSil absorbs 2.5 times better than horsetail or colloidal gel."

According to several informational websites:

Bamboo extract is the richest known source of natural silica containing over 70% organic silica. This is more than 10 times the level as found in the widely used Horsetail plant (Equisetum) that contains about 5 - 7% silica. Bamboo Sil extract is prepared from Tabashir bamboo stem from India (Bambusa vulgaris).

Bumping...

I was taking MSM, but it changed my monthly cycle. (I'm still not right and it's been 3 months...)...anywho...
I want to start taking the Solaray Bamboo. There are Vitamin Shoppes all around Houston so I can pick it up whenever. I would like to hear about progress from those who are taking it (especially the 4b sistas like myself)...but ALL progress inputs are welcomed. :feedback:
