Boron

Boron is crucial for maintaining bone health.

The reason for this is boron's ability to prevent loss of calcium and magnesium from the bones.

What is boron?

Boron is a trace mineral found in the earth’s crust and in water in certain locations. It's importance in human health is widely underestimated.

Benefits of boron

While its impact on our well-being has been largely overlooked, studies indicate that boron is essential for optimal health, for the body to function properly.

Bone health:

• Boron is essential in building bone strength by metabolizing magnesium and calcium in the formation of bones.
• This mineral impacts both the density (quantity) and the inner layer (quality) of the bone.
• Studies have demonstrated how harmful a boron deficiency is, such as decreased bone volume fraction (a measure of bone strength), reduced thickness of the bone’s spongy inner layer, decline of maximum force needed to break the femur.
