Boron

Boron, in trace amounts, is needed in the body: to assist in the production of natural steroid compounds; is necessary for the metabolism of calcium, phosphorous and magnesium; enhances brain function, promotes alertness, helps utilize energy from fats and sugars; helps prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis and build muscle; alleviates joint discomfort; helps to preserve cognitive function.

      Deficiencies: accentuates Vitamin D deficiency

    SOURCES: apples, carrots, grapes, dark green leafy vegetables, raw nuts, pears, whole grains.

 
     Boron is required to enhance the body's ability to use calcium, magnesium, as well as vitamin D.

It also seems to assist in brain functioning and recognition.

Boron seems to prevent calcium and magnesium from being lost in the urine and may help with decreasing menstrual pain by increasing the oestradiol level, which is a very active type of estrogen.

People have also reported the reduction of arthritis symptoms with an intake of Boron.

Calcium, Magnesum,and Boron

Calcium is the mineral in your body that makes up your bones and keeps them strong. Ninety-nine percent of the calcium in your body is stored in your bones and teeth. The remaining 1% is in your blood and soft tissues and is essential for life and health. Without this tiny 1% of calcium, your muscles wouldn’t contract correctly, your blood wouldn’t clot and your nerves wouldn’t carry messages.

     Magnesium helps with formation of bone and teeth and assists the absorption of calcium and potassium. Where calcium stimulates the muscles, magnesium is used to relax the muscles. It is further needed for cellular metabolism and the production of energy through its help with enzyme activity. It is used for muscle tone of the heart and assists in controlling blood pressure.

     ***Together with vitamin B 12, Magnesium may prevent calcium oxalate kidney stones. It helps prevent depression, dizziness, muscle twitching, and pre-menstrual syndrome. It can help prevent the calcification of soft tissue and may help prevent cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and certain forms of cancer, and it may reduce cholesterol levels.

     Magnesium assists the parathyroid gland to process vitamin D, and a shortage here can cause absorption problems with calcium.
   
     Boron is known to help support proper bone growth.

Boron is also useful for people who want to build muscle. 

     Boron is required by your body in trace amounts for proper metabolism of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

Boron helps brain function, healthy bones, and can increase alertness. Boron supplements are especially good for older people.

     Boron is not yet considered an essential nutrient for humans, therefore it is not clear whether deficiencies occur. However, diets that are low in fruit, vegetables, legumes, and nuts provide less boron than diets that contain more of these foods.

  Sources: Raisins, prunes, and nuts are generally excellent sources of Boron. Fruit (other than citrus), vegetables, and legumes also typically contain significant amounts of Boron. Actual amounts vary widely, depending upon Boron levels in soil where the food is grown.

Boron

Boron is a chemical element with atomic number 5 and the chemical symbol B. Boron is a trivalent metalloid element which occurs abundantly in the evaporite ores borax and ulexite. Boron is never found as a free element on Earth.

Several allotropes of boron exist; amorphous boron is a brown powder, though crystalline boron is black, extremely hard (9.3 on Mohs' scale), and a weak conductor at room temperature (22-28 °C, 72-82 °F). Elemental boron is used as a dopant in the semiconductor industry, while boron compounds play important roles as light structural materials, nontoxic insecticides and preservatives, and reagents for chemical synthesis.

Boron is an essential plant nutrient, although high soil concentrations of boron may also be toxic to plants. As an ultratrace element, boron is necessary for the optimal health of rats and presumably other mammals, though its physiological role in animals is poorly understood. *

Boron in biology

A boron-containing natural antibiotic, boromycin, isolated from streptomyces, is known.

Boron is an essential plant nutrient, required primarily for maintaining the integrity of cell walls. Conversely, high soil concentrations of > 1.0 ppm can cause marginal and tip necrosis in leaves as well as poor overall growth performance. Levels as low as 0.8 ppm can cause these same symptoms to appear in plants particularly sensitive to boron in the soil. Nearly all plants, even those somewhat tolerant of boron in the soil, will show at least some symptoms of boron toxicity when boron in the soil is greater than 1.8 ppm. When boron in the soil exceeds 2.0 ppm, few plants will perform well. Plants sensitive to boron in the soil may not survive. When boron levels in plant tissue exceed 200 ppm symptoms of boron toxicity are likely to appear.

As an ultratrace element, boron is necessary for the optimal health of rats, although it is necessary in such small amounts that ultrapurified foods and dust filtration of air is necessary to show the effects of boron deficiency, which manifest as poor coat/hair quality. Presumably, boron is necessary to other mammals. No deficiency syndrome in humans has been described. Small amounts of boron occur widely in the diet, and the amounts needed in the diet would, by analogy with rodent studies, be very small. The exact physiological role of boron in the animal kingdom is poorly understood.

Boron occurs in all foods produced from plants. Since 1989 its nutritional value has been argued. It is thought that boron plays several biochemical roles in animals, including humans.

The U.S. Department of agriculture conducted an experiment in which postmenopausal women took 3 mg of boron a day. The results showed that supplemental boron reduced excretion of calcium by 44%, and activated estrogen and vitamin D.

However, whether these effects were conventionally nutritional, or medicinal, could not be determined.

The US National Institute of Health quotes this source:

Total daily boron intake in normal human diets ranges from 2.1–4.3 mg boron/kg body weight (bw)/day.

Analytical quantification

For determination of boron content in food or materials the colorimetric curcumin method is used. Boron has to be transferred to boric acid or borates and on reaction with curcumin in acidic solution, a red colored boron-chelate complex, rosocyanine, is formed.**

Boron

Boron helps to prevent the loss of calcium, phophorus, and magnesium through the urine.

Boron also helps to maintain proper blood levels of estradiol which is a precursor of estrogen.

Boron, in trace amounts, is needed in the body to help alleviate joint discomfort.

Boron helps brain function, healthy bones, and can increase alertness.

Boron supplements are especially good for older people.
