Benefits of Boron

  • 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 known to help support proper bone growth and is also useful for people who want to build muscle.

Doctor Rex E. Newnham, Ph.D., D.O., has shown a relationship between a dietary lack of boron and joint stress. (See his article in the Journal of Applied Nutrition, volume 46, issue 3, 1994.) The article observes:

  1. People in Jamaica and other surrounding islands where the soil and diet is low in Boron have a higher than average chance of suffering from arthritis.
  2. Boron amounts in the soil is directly proportional to the amount of organic matter. Highly fertilized crops provide much less quantities of boron.
  3. South Africans with a high boron diet had a 3% incidence of arthritis.

    When they changed their diet after moving to the city they had a 20% incidence of arthritis.

  4. Hot mineral spas where boron content in the water is very high have the reputation of healing arthritis.
