In addition to being high in nutraceuticals like phenols and phytosterols, Bambusa vulgaris s are also high in protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Historically utilised in pharmaceuticals, Bambusa vulgaris s have been linked to a number of health advantages, including hypolipidemia, prebiotics, and anti-diabetic effects. Packed into 121 genera, these plants make up a sizable subfamily of the grasses (Poaceae: Bambusoideae), with approximately 1662 species. Bamboos come in a wide variety of functional forms that are found in many different biogeographic locations. These forms include huge tropical woody species that may grow up to 20 meters in height and miniature herbaceous species found in temperate settings. These species, which naturally occur on all continents with the exception of Europe can adapt to and multiply in hostile settings, such as the humid, chilly summits of mountains as well as the dry, warm ones. A significant contributor to the diversity of South American forests is bamboo. In the New World, Brazil is the nation with the highest diversity of native bamboo species . This indicates that 65% of known bamboo species and 89% of genera Bambusa Vulgaris are considered to be among the most precious, readily obtainable, and significant renewable forest resources. These plants are members of the Bambusoideae subfamily of the grass family Poaceae, which includes roughly 25% of all plants on Earth. With their distribution throughout 116 taxa, bamboos are thought to have a diversity of about 1400 species worldwide. In Southeast Asia, bamboo species have long been utilised as building blocks for the production of paper, furniture, boats, bicycles, textiles, musical instruments and food. Their leaves are also used as a wrapping material to keep food fresh for a longer period of time. The physiologically active substances that these species acquire, such as polyphenols and other secondary plant metabolites, may help to explain why bamboo leaves are used in traditional Asian medicine to treat conditions like hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and some types of cancer. Bamboo extracts may also contain physiologically active peptides and polysaccharides in addition to the typical secondary metabolites; these compounds' activity and potential synergy with other metabolites require additional research. The majority of research published in the literature focusses on Asian bamboo species; little is known about the potential of Southern American bamboo species.
