Boron helps prevent loss of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus through the urine. It also supports proper blood levels of estradiol—a precursor to estrogen. Boron is an essential nutrient for optimal calcium metabolism. Boron promotes healthy bones and joints by helping convert vitamin D into the active form necessary for the absorption of calcium. Boron is essential to bone metabolism and calcification of bones, and for cartilage formation and repair. It also affects calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus levels. Memory and brain function may be improved with boron. Boron plays a role in regulating the hormones, especially estrogen, but testosterone as well. Boron is stored in the parathyroid glands.

Symptoms of Boron deficiency include memory loss, brittle bones, muscle pain, receding gums and loss of libido.
