Boron is a recently discovered trace element which influences the metabolism of nutrients
involved in the maintenance of strong bones and may play a role in hormone regulation. Known
to nutritional professionals as the “Calcium Helper”, Boron plays a vital role in bone health
because it assists calcium absorption and utilization in the body.
Boron is a trace element, which influences calcium and magnesium metabolism. Although no
recommended dietary allowance (RDA) has been established for boron, the average daily intake
is highly variable, having been estimated at between 0.5 and 7 mg per day. Boron is found in
most tissues, but is concentrated in the bone, spleen, and thyroid, indicating boron’s functions
in bone metabolism and suggesting a potential role for boron in hormone metabolism. Boron is
found in relatively high levels in foods of plant origin, such as black beans, peaches, apricots,
spinach, strawberries, apples, cantaloupe and tomatoes. Many of us do not get enough of these
items in our diet and boron supplements can help. Meat and fish are poor dietary sources of
boron.
Boron should be used as recommended by a Health Care Professional.
