Boron is an essential nutrient necessary for optimal health. It helps to maintain optimal bone metabolism as well as promote a healthy immune and nervous system.

Boron, a trace element, does not receive the attention that other more recognised nutrients receive. But it plays an important role in supporting a healthy life. For example, as we get older, supporting bone health needs to become a higher priority to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Boron helps increase healthy bone mineralisation. The mineral boron has the potential to bring widespread health benefits, from immune system support to bone health.

Boron ensures brain function, strengthens alertness and plays an important role in how the body uses energy from fat and sugar. Boron deficiency is rare, but older people are advised to take supplements of 3 mg/day because they have problems with calcium absorption. Boron deficiency exacerbates vitamin D deficiency.

Boron helps prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis and build muscle. Boron intake can shrink the size of prostate tumours by lowering blood levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA, a sign of prostate cancer) and may also help prevent prostate cancer.

Vitamin B2 is involved in the production of keratin and thus contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones, joints, skin, nails, hair and mucous membranes. Those suffering from premature ageing of the bones need to include an ingredient that promotes joint cell turnover, as well as maintaining healthy collagen levels to eliminate joint pain, and riboflavin helps with this.





 

Boron Benefits

 

• 1. Maintains optimal brain function and concentration.

Studies have shown that low levels of boron can cause poor cognitive development and difficulty retaining information. Boron improves task performance, brain control, attention and short-term memory.
 

• 2. Helps heal arthritis.

Research has shown that low concentrations of boron in bones are linked to higher rates of arthritis development. Boron plays a key role in integrating calcium into joint cartilage, which can help prevent joint damage as well as joint pain.
 

• 3. Strengthens bones. 

Boron facilitates the absorption of calcium into the bones to prevent bone problems and weak fractures. According to a study conducted by the Department of Orthopedics at the Red Cross Hospital in China, boron supplements are able to increase bone formation while inhibiting bone resorption, which protects against osteoporosis.
 

• 4. Maintain healthy muscle mass.

Studies show that high levels of boron help the body better absorb vitamins and minerals. Boron works to promote healthy testosterone production and build muscle mass. It is often used as an ingredient in protein powders and athletic supplements for its ability to boost athletic performance.
 

• 5. Balances hormones.

Boron can help relieve symptoms of menopause and PMS by balancing estrogen and testosterone levels. Studies have shown that boron depletion is linked to fertility problems and birth defects.
 

• 6. Treats and prevents infections.

In the form of boric acid, boron works as a natural treatment for infections to help heal quickly and rid the body of harmful bacteria.
 

• 7. Heals the skin and prevents infections.

Because of its astringent properties, boron's health benefits include the ability to help heal and prevent skin infections. It helps kill bacteria while reducing pain, inflammation and other signs of irritation.
 

• 8. Fights diabetes.

Studies have shown that low levels of boron can increase symptoms of diabetes, such as changes in blood glucose levels and triglycerides. Boron promotes carbohydrate metabolism as well as insulin production.
