Why is FruiteX-B condsidered "nature-identical"?

FruiteX-B contains a form of boron that is readily found in nature. Fructoborate, found in FruiteX-B, is a boron wedged between two fructose molecules. This type is chemically identical to one commonly found in soil. Plants will soak up this boron and can then pass it on to us. The process used is similar to chelating minerals, except it yields a form that is identical to a form found in nature. Because naturally-occuring boron is disappearing, though, we need a safe alternative. This is where FruiteX-B comes in.
