Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.

A naturally occurring form of boron bound to fructose and calcium, found in trace amounts in fruits and vegetables and produced synthetically for supplement use.

Why it’s used

Taken by some for joint comfort and to support markers of inflammation.

What the evidence says

Only a small number of small industry-associated trials have examined calcium fructoborate, generally looking at inflammatory markers or joint symptoms over short periods. This body of research is too limited in size and independence to draw firm conclusions.

Context

Available trials have used varying small daily doses and short durations, and have not been replicated at a larger scale.

Insufficient dataToo little has been studied to say either way.
