Fructo Borate: The Longevity Molecule
Fructo Borate is an advanced boron molecule, based on the structure found in whole foods. It is exceptionally bio-available and can cross the gastrointestinal barrier into the systemic circulation.
Why is this important?
In recent research this special boron has shown to serve as an intense anti-aging, an important longevity molecule that reverses inflammation and metabolic alteration to prevent skin cancer (Kisacam et al., 2021; 2020).
The sun and UV radiation are involved in skin aging (photoaging). There are complex processes of skin changes that happen, with free oxygen radicals, DNA damage, cellular damage, inflammation and more. We can use all sorts of cream, but internal mechanism to reverse aging is necessary.
Gul et al. (2022) conducted a recent experiment with Wistar albino rats that were exposed to UVB to induce photoaging, however, the results show that the groups that were given boron were able to withstand the exposure and photoaging. Boron lowered certain markers that are responsible for inflammation and skin aging.
Quite impressive for this master mineral we call boron that already does so many functions in the body: From drastically lowering joint pain (arthritis and osteoporosis), to remineralizing and strengthening the bone, as well as boosting the immune system, while harmonizing and balancing hormones in the blood.
Boron in itself is not the most bio-available mineral but as a Fructo Borate molecule it does amazing work. Scientists utilize this molecule since it is able to get absorbed systemically in the body.
Fructo Borate is back on the shelf and worthy of our praise.
Enjoy!
