Fructo Borate: The Molecule of Life

We call Fructo Borate the molecule of life for a good reason.

On the surface, it is a master mineral that is in charge of so many different functions and processes in the body. 

But a deep study into Boron and Fructo Borate is akin to an encounter with the extraordinary - it is indeed a master molecule with an important mission:  it builds, regenerates, heals, repairs, and performs within every system in the body. 

Boron is the first building block of life itself (Scorei, 2012). 

What does it do? Bone growth, joints and , heart, metabolism, hormones regulation, brain, wound healing, collagen building, cell health, and vitamin D absorption (a needed stable levels for chronic disease prevention),magnesium absorption, utilization of NAD+, ATP production,  

Fructo Borate is also a powerful agent; for anti-inflammation, anti-viral (yes, take 2 capsules when you start feeling like something is coming on), anti-carcinogenic (exciting research), lowering C-reactive Proteins, anti-oxidant, and much more. 

Hence - the molecule of life. Take a stroll through the references, the title themselves will point you into the many aspects of this incredible mineral. And if you feel adventurous, check out the investigation of Boron on other planets (Benner et al., 2010).

Enjoy!
