An excellent drug for osteoporosis developed from Tequila agave is round the corner

Tequila agave is famous for the traditional Tequila drink of Mexico. According to Mexican researcher Dr. Mercedes López , her studies have indicated that the blue variety of the Agave tequilana has substances capable of improving the absorption of calcium and magnesium, essential minerals to maintain bone health.

Dr Lopez says “"the consumption of fructans contained in the agave, in collaboration with adequate intestinal micriobiota, promotes the formation of new bone, even with the presence of osteoporosis."

 Dr Lopez has already applied for a patent for her discovery.
