Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 5.0/10

Boron has interesting data on bone metabolism and hormones, but large human trials are still limited.

Value for money 8.0/10

€0.12 per day for FruiteX-B is very affordable, especially at 100 servings per bottle.

Product quality 7.0/10

Jarrow uses FruiteX-B (calcium fructoborate) in vegan capsules with no unnecessary additives.

Label honesty 8.0/10

Clear 3 mg dosage, ingredient named, no exaggerated claims.

Third-party testing 5.0/10

Standard GMP testing, but no official third-party certification.

Product Description

FruiteX-B is a natural boron compound used at 3 mg daily in studies. Jarrow delivers this dose per capsule with a lean formula free of magnesium stearate.

What We Like

  • Study-aligned 3 mg dose
  • FruiteX-B branded ingredient
  • Vegan capsules
  • 100 servings per bottle

What We’re Missing

  • No independent certification
  • Niche nutrient: benefit depends heavily on individual status
  • No combination with vitamin D or magnesium

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule daily with a meal. Do not exceed 3 mg long-term unless medically advised. If combining with vitamin D or K2, monitor blood levels regularly.

Ingredient dossier

Boron is discussed for bone, hormone, and inflammation support. Mechanistically interesting, but human evidence remains sparse.
