  Bamboo extract

  Description:

  Bamboo, a type of giant grass, encompasses over 1,000 species in dozens of genera, primarily found in Asia. The plant's shoots are harvested for food and medicine, offering protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins. Bamboo shoot preparation is crucial, as they contain cyanogenic glycosides, which, when converted to hydrogen cyanide, can be toxic. Proper boiling or fermentation eliminates cyanide, rendering bamboo shoots safe to eat. Limited research suggests potential anti-cancer effects from bamboo leaf extract, but more studies are needed. Additionally, bamboo extracts have shown thyroid effects in laboratory and animal studies, inhibiting thyroid peroxidase activity and potentially leading to hypothyroidism.
