What if a symbol of flexibility was the key to its resilience?

  • Strengthened bone and tendon structure: bamboo is naturally rich in organic silicon. A key trace element for the remineralization of supporting tissues.

  • Preserved joint flexibility: silicon is involved in the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It thus helps to preserve the elasticity of tendons and the cohesion of cartilages subjected to the repeated stresses of work and age.

  • Long-term fundamental action: this is not a painkiller. It's a structural builder, designed to work deeply on the locomotor "framework."

Offer your horse one of the richest plant sources of silica:

  • 100% natural bamboo powder, standardized to over 55% silica
  • Selected from a French laboratory expert in premium equine nutrition
  • First effects generally visible within 3 to 4 weeks

For which horses?

This bamboo powder is designed for horses that need remineralizing support :

  • Seniors who are losing bone density
  • Horses with tendon or ligament fragility to support the consolidation of damaged fibers and cartilage support
  • Sport horses for fundamental support of the locomotor system's resistance
  • Growing young horses to support bone mineralization and connective tissue development

Directions for use (adult horse 550 kg)

Add to the daily basic ration:

25 g per day for 3 weeks. If possible, divide into 2 daily doses. Repeat if necessary.

Do not hesitate to ask your veterinarian for advice before use or extended use.

Recommendations: Pregnant or lactating mares only with veterinary advice.

Storage: store in a cool, dry place. Close tightly after use. Keep out of reach of children.


Anti-doping precaution:

What is Bamboo used for in my horse?

Bamboo is a remineralizing plant exceptionally rich in silica (> 55%). It strengthens bones, cartilage, and tendons by promoting calcium fixation and collagen synthesis. It is particularly recommended in cases of stiffness, bone fragility, or intense training.

How does silica work in the horse's body?

Silica is one of the essential components of connective tissues. It directly contributes to skeletal strength, tendon elasticity, and articular cartilage integrity. Without sufficient silicon, these structures progressively weaken—regardless of calcium intake.

Studies

Nielsen BD, Potter GD et al. (1993)
Training distance to failure in young racing Quarter Horses fed sodium zeolite A Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 13(10), 562–567.

This pioneering study showed that silicon supplementation increased the training distance to injury in racing Quarter Horses. This is one of the first direct pieces of evidence of silicon's role in bone strength in athletic horses.NCBI

Lang et al. (2001)
Study on yearlings supplemented with silicon vs. control group

Research on young horses has shown a reduction in bone resorption markers (carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen) in silicon-supplemented horses compared to unsupplemented controls. NCBI

Silicon and bone health
Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging, 11(2), 99–110 — PubMed
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17435952

This review of 30 years of research establishes significant positive associations between dietary silicon intake and bone mineral density, suggesting a beneficial role in bone and connective tissues.

Orthosilicic acid stimulates collagen type 1 synthesis and osteoblastic differentiation in human osteoblast-like cells in vitro
Bone, 32(2), 127–135

High levels of silicon have been found to be strongly linked to connective tissues and their components—glycoaminoglycans, polysaccharides, and mucopolysaccharides—suggesting a fundamental structural role for this trace element.
