From the soil, to the plant, to you
Dr Ricky D Joint Serum is a nutrient‑rich, plant‑based serum designed to be applied directly to sore or overworked joints.
Here’s an easy‑to‑follow explanation of where one of its ingredients, “boron” comes from, and why that matters.
1. Borage: a natural “mineral gatherer”
The boron in Dr Ricky D Joint Serum is not a synthetic add‑on. It starts with a living plant called borage (Borago officinalis).
Borage is a hardy herb with a deep taproot. That deep root system allows the plant to:
- Reach further down into the soil.
- Access and draw up minerals and trace elements that many shallow‑rooted plants can’t reach.
Because of this, borage is naturally good at absorbing and concentrating minerals and micronutrients from the soil, including boron.
2. Grown in boron‑rich soil for a targeted purpose
The borage used in Dr Ricky D Joint Serum isn’t just grown anywhere and hoped it works for the best.
The borage used is cultivated in boron‑rich soil, so there is plenty of this trace mineral available in the plant’s growing environment.
Modern agricultural research shows that borage responds particularly well to targeted, higher‑dose micronutrient applications—especially:
- Boron
- Zinc
- Iron
While many common crops are easily damaged when boron levels get too high (they can suffer leaf yellowing and stunted growth), borage is unusual:
- It can tolerate higher boron levels.
- It can accumulate more boron in its tissues without the usual toxicity problems.
This means borage is especially well‑suited as a natural boron carrier.
3. From soil to plant to extract
The journey of our boron looks like this:
- Soil – We start with carefully managed, boron‑rich soil.
- Plant uptake – Borage absorbs boron and other trace minerals through its deep root system.
- Natural complexes – Inside the plant, boron can bind with natural plant sugars, forming boron–sugar complexes (including forms known as fructoborates).
- Borage extract – We then create a concentrated borage extract, which becomes the boron‑rich base for Dr Ricky D Joint Serum.
The result is a plant‑derived boron source, rather than an isolated synthetic boron compound.
4. Why borage was chosen for Dr Ricky D Joint Serum
We selected borage for three main reasons:
- Natural and traceable
You can follow the boron from soil → plant → extract → serum, which makes the source clear and transparent. - High tolerance for boron
Borage is one of the plants that can handle elevated boron levels without typical damage, allowing it to accumulate more boron than many standard crops. - Plant‑based boron complexes
By using borage, we’re not simply adding boron; we’re providing boron in a plant context, where it naturally exists alongside sugars and other plant compounds.
In simple terms
Dr Ricky D Joint Serum uses a boron‑rich extract made from borage, a deep‑rooted herb that naturally absorbs and holds onto minerals like boron from the soil.
By growing borage in carefully managed, boron‑rich conditions and extracting its concentrated mineral content, we’re able to offer a plant‑sourced boron serum designed for easy, targeted application to your joints.
