Boron is one of the main minerals used in the bone building
process of the body which directly acts as an activator. Boron helps convert
vitamin D into its active state by initiating estrogen production. The estrogen
then improves the absorption of calcium. This mineral also helps ensure the
metabolism within the bone can function properly. In fact, because of its role
in the body, Boron can actually assist in preventing arthritis and tooth decay.
Boron is one of the necessary minerals for building and
repairing joint cartilage and the proper level of this mineral in the body is
important as it helps maintain proper levels of calcium, magnesium, and
phosphorus as well as regulating hormones, especially estrogen and
testosterone. Boron can also help maintain brain function and memory
capabilities.
The body depends on Boron to perform a large majority of its
functions and when there is a Boron deficiency in the body, the parathyroid
glands, small endocrine glands in the neck of humans, become overactive,
causing the glands to release too much of the parathyroid hormone. As a result,
the level of calcium in the blood increases as it’s released from the bones,
joints, and teeth, into the blood stream. Several resulting symptoms of Boron
deficiencies include, arthritis, brittle bones, carpal tunnel syndrome,
degenerative joint disease, hormonal imbalances, loss of libido, memory loss,
muscle pain, osteoporosis, receding gums, and weak joint cartilage. Bone
analysis have previously shown that arthritis joints and nearby bones contain
only half the Boron content of healthy joints.
Boron supplements can help reduce the daily loss of calcium
by nearly 50%. Because this calcium is mainly withdrawn from the bones and
teeth, Boron deficiencies are considered to be the most important factors in
causing arthritis, osteoporosis, and tooth decay today. Boron supplements are
actually considered to be an effective treatment for up to 95% in the relief of
arthritis, provided the joint has not completely deteriorated. While taking Boron
supplements for arthritis, it has been found that generally, individuals under
60 years old feel relief within the first month of taking the supplement where
those in their 60’s felt relief in the second month, and those in their 70’s
and 80’s generally felt relief after the third month of Boron supplementation.
The reason why Boron functions well to alleviate arthritis
is partially due to its crucial role of calcium integration into the cartilage
and bone. This can be very important for anyone despite not being previously
diagnosed with arthritis.
