A trace mineral involved in bone metabolism, oestrogen and vitamin D utilisation, and cognitive function. Some research suggests it may support bone mineral density and reduce urinary calcium excretion in postmenopausal women. Also proposed to influence oestrogen metabolism.

Research Context

Research context compiled from published sources

How does Boron work?

Influences the metabolism of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus — key minerals for bone health. May increase serum oestradiol and vitamin D levels in postmenopausal women, though the mechanism is not fully established. Also reduces inflammatory markers (CRP, TNF-α) and may support cognitive function via effects on brain electrical activity.
