Boron is needed in trace amounts for healthy bones and muscle growth because it assists in the production of natural steriod compounds whithin the body. It is also necessary for the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium.

Boron enhances brain function, promotes alertness, and plays a role in how the body utilizes energy from fats and sugars. Most people are not deficient in boron. However elderly people usually benefit from taking a supplement of 2 to 3 milligrams daily because they have greater problem with calcium absorption. Boron deficiency accentuates vitamin D deficiency.

Boron helps to prevent postmenopausel osteoporosis and build muscle. New research indicates that taking supplemental boron can shrink prostate tumor size, lower blood levels of prostate-specific antigen and may help prevent prostate cancer. Boron alleviates joint discomfort by reducing levels of both COX-2 and LOX enzymes and helps preserve cognitive function. Studies have shown that in areas of the world where level of boron in the soil is low there are greater number of people suffering from arthritis. A study conducted by the U.S Department of Agriculture indicated that within eight days of supplementing their daily diet with 3 milligrams of boron, a test group post menopausel women lost 40 percent less calcium, on third less magnesium, and slightly less phosphorus through their urine than the had before beginning boron supplementation.

Sources: Boron is found naturally in apples, carrots, grapes, dark green leafy vegetables, raw nuts, pears and whole grains.

Cautions: Do not take more than 3 to 6 milligrams of supplemental boron daily unless it is prescribed by a professional. Boron is toxic in high doses but is not carcinogenic or mutagenic. Many supplements for bone health contain 3 milligrams of boron. If you are using a multivitamin supplement, be sure that your total intake through diet does not exceed 20 milligrams.
