Calcium Fructoborate: A Novel Nutrient for Bones & Joints

Calcium fructoborate A unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron bound with fructose complex. Shown to be helpful with arthritis, bone health, and hormone homeostasis Property of a system that regulates its internal environment to remain in a stable, constant condition. . (FruiteX-B) is a unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron, a nutrient woefully lacking in American soil and consequently the American food supply. Scientists have known for several decades that the depletion of boron¹ in soil due to chemical fertilizers has increased the rate of arthritis around the world – and supplemental boron helps. Research over the past decade demonstrates that calcium fructoborate A unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron bound with fructose complex. Shown to be helpful with arthritis, bone health, and hormone homeostasis Property of a system that regulates its internal environment to remain in a stable, constant condition. . has excellent absorption and sustained bioavailability, along with the ability to reduce inflammation in joints, improve bone and joint health, and enhance the status of calcium, hormones, and vitamin D.

Calcium fructoborate A unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron bound with fructose complex. Shown to be helpful with arthritis, bone health, and hormone homeostasis Property of a system that regulates its internal environment to remain in a stable, constant condition. . ² as a dietary supplement is a patented compound composed of calcium bound to boron (from plants). The boron molecule is linked to two fructose molecules (from fruit, nuts and legumes), creating a unique natural chelate To bind, attach to. Chelation may be bind onto various toxins or may be used to transport nutrients into cells for healthier metabolism. of all three nutrients. This carbohydrate/boron structure has an enhanced ability to guide and connect boron to appropriate cell membrane receptors. It naturally regulates parathyroid Endocrine gland located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. Controls the amount of calcium in the blood and within bones. function to support healthier levels of calcium, vitamin D, estrogen, and testosterone, thereby helping to offset typical problems of aging. It also helps reduce vitamin D elimination from your body and can even improve vitamin D status by itself.

Building and remodeling bones and joints is a complex activity that requires carpenter cells—osteoblasts for bones and chondrocytes for cartilage. Bones also contain a demolition crew of osteoclasts Type of bone cell that removes old, damaged bone by the process bone resorption., which work in step with osteoblasts to prevent bone loss. There are also 2 x 4s and plywood: calcium, protein, glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid. These are the raw materials that simply must exist if anything is to be built. There are natural lubricants, a plethora of anti-inflammatory nutrients that reduce friction within bones and joints and help keep everything running smoothly. Then there are nails and screws that hold the 2 x 4s and plywood together, without which little would be accomplished. Boron is such a nail, and calcium fructoborate A unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron bound with fructose complex. Shown to be helpful with arthritis, bone health, and hormone homeostasis Property of a system that regulates its internal environment to remain in a stable, constant condition. . is a nature-identical chelate To bind, attach to. Chelation may be bind onto various toxins or may be used to transport nutrients into cells for healthier metabolism. of boron that we might call a “super nail,” acting as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and general regulator promoting key functions of bone and joint health.

A more recent study³ and an earlier study⁴ show calcium fructoborate A unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron bound with fructose complex. Shown to be helpful with arthritis, bone health, and hormone homeostasis Property of a system that regulates its internal environment to remain in a stable, constant condition. . to be a potent anti-inflammatory nutrient. Inflammation is one major aspect of wear and tear to both bones and joints, so any nutrient that assists in this way will lend support. Likewise, antioxidants protect body structures, and calcium fructoborate A unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron bound with fructose complex. Shown to be helpful with arthritis, bone health, and hormone homeostasis Property of a system that regulates its internal environment to remain in a stable, constant condition. . clearly has antioxidant activity⁵. As a side note, calcium fructoborate A unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron bound with fructose complex. Shown to be helpful with arthritis, bone health, and hormone homeostasis Property of a system that regulates its internal environment to remain in a stable, constant condition. . was recently found to induce cell death in breast cancer cells⁶, turning off the highly inflammatory pathway that drives breast cancer cell replication.

What makes calcium fructoborate A unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron bound with fructose complex. Shown to be helpful with arthritis, bone health, and hormone homeostasis Property of a system that regulates its internal environment to remain in a stable, constant condition. . an even more intriguing nutrient is its ability to help regulate hormones⁷ and vitamin D⁸ in a manner that improves bone and joint health. It seems to act as a “bodyguard” for vital activities needed for the rejuvenation of important body structures.

A pilot study with 20 osteoarthritis Degenerative joint disease. Most common type of arthritis that causes a chronic, progressive, breakdown in cartilage in middle-age adults and older. patients⁹ (10 mild to moderate and 10 severe) found that the group with mild to moderate symptoms experienced substantial improvements in pain and stiffness reduction and overall joint function. After eight weeks, 88% of the participants found improvement in pain experienced during walking, and 83% had less pain when climbing stairs. 70% of participants had less stiffness and 78% experienced better joint movement. In the severe group, 75% were able to decrease pain medication, 66% improved flexibility, and 86% had no pain at rest.

Another pilot study of 100 participants with osteoporosis¹⁰ found that most experienced reduced bone pain by day 21 and that 66% had improved calcium metabolism at the end of 6 months.

Boron is woefully lacking in the American food supply. An encouraging body of preliminary science shows that boron in the form of calcium fructoborate A unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron bound with fructose complex. Shown to be helpful with arthritis, bone health, and hormone homeostasis Property of a system that regulates its internal environment to remain in a stable, constant condition. . has novel benefits for bone and joint health. In this context, it can be used as part of a comprehensive approach to natural bone and joint health management.
