Boron

Boron is a trace mineral, which many authorities believe to be nutritionally essential, based on current research. Boron is extremely important because it favourably supports the body’s metabolism of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D, which are essential in the normal functioning of many body systems.

Main applications as supported by research:

Prostate health
Skeletal Support
Joint Support

It is believed that boron is important to maintain bone density, and it is thought it may have particular relevance to women. Boron administered to menopausal women slowed the rate of calcium and magnesium losses and doubled levels of a compound, oestrogen metabolite, which is responsible for retaining calcium in the bone.
A study suggested that higher intake of boron may reduce risk of prostate cancer. Evidence indicates it’s role in assisting bone healing, and decreasing rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.
