Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3
Calcium Fructoborate is a naturally occurring complex of calcium, fructose, and boron, and it has been studied for its potential benefits in supporting the structural system, particularly bone and joint health. Several clinical studies and preclinical investigations have examined its effects. Evidence suggests that calcium fructoborate may help reduce inflammation and improve markers of bone and joint health, such as reducing C-reactive protein and alleviating symptoms in individuals with osteoarthritis. The mechanism is thought to involve both boron’s role in bone metabolism and its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as the presence of calcium, an essential mineral for bone structure.
However, while there is a growing body of evidence, the number and size of high-quality, long-term randomized controlled trials are still limited. Most studies to date are small, and some are sponsored by manufacturers, which may introduce bias. Nonetheless, the available data provide a moderate level of scientific validation, supporting its use for the structural system, especially for joint comfort and bone health. Further large-scale and independent studies are warranted to confirm these effects and clarify the precise mechanisms involved.
