Elemental Boron

BioTrace Elemental Boron is a concentrated liquid dietary supplement that provides boron, a trace element, in electrically charged ionic form - a form thought to be more readily absorbed by the body. Boron has only relatively recently been established as a mineral of nutritional significance to humans and animals.

Although this mineral has not been officially recognised as essential by the US National Academy of Science, there is growing consensus within the scientific and medical community of boron’s role in a number of physiological functions, primarily calcium and bone metabolism.

Adequate levels of dietary boron are thought to play a significant role in calcium and bone metabolism, to help support healthy bone mineralisation and strong, cavity resistant teeth. Dietary boron has also been linked with enhanced memory, alertness and cognitive function and normal hormonal balance.

Research has shown that boron supplementation of 3 milligrams per day may result in enhanced calcium and magnesium retention, and elevations in serum concentrations of testosterone and oestrogen. Elderly individuals may benefit from supplementing their diet with 2 to 3 milligrams per day of boron to support a healthy ability to absorb calcium.
