The Mineral Essential for All Life in Plants and Animals

This puts many of us at risk of Boron deficiency, especially senior adults. Symptoms of Boron deficiency include arthritis, brittle bone, memory loss, muscle pain, osteoporosis, degenerative joint disease, tooth decay, hormonal imbalances, loss of libido, carpal tunnel syndrome and weak joint cartilage, to name a few. Boron deficiency involves losing large amounts of Calcium and Magnesium with urine. It causes cell walls to become thin, which decreases the successful transfer of nutrients to them.
How Boron can help you
When it comes to the bone building process, Boron is an important mineral. A Boron supplement will 1) boost Boron levels in your bones to harden them and 2) regulate sex hormones, in particular oestrogen and testosterone, which foster the growth of new bone.
Boron is crucial in maintaining healthy levels of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in the body and it promotes the functioning of the brain and memory.
If you are suffering from osteoporosis, Boron can help the body replace lost calcium to help strengthen bones. Taking Boron will promote the proper functioning of your metabolic process and will act as a preventative measure to avoid brittle and fragile bones. Research has shown that bone fractures could heal in half the normal time. For arthritic sufferers, consistent Boron usage could heal joint pain, swelling and stiffness in 1-3 months.
As Boron is an important mineral that builds and repairs joint cartilage, we recommend taking Boron to help prevent arthritis and tooth decay.
How to take Boron
Liquid boron should be mixed with water. A standard dose is 1-2 teaspoons daily to maintain general health. If you have bone-related health problems, you could try increasing your intake to 1-3 tablespoons. You may wish to stop taking the doses for a couple of days per week and pay attention to how you feel.
We recommend a Boron mineral by Mother Earth Minerals in liquid form.
Sufferers of arthritis typically only have half the correct levels of Boron in the body. A Boron dietary supplement will reduce the daily loss of calcium by almost 50 per cent.
Are you at risk of Boron deficiency?
Countries with low soil Boron levels include Jamaica, where arthritis rates are 70% and the Mauritius islands, where 50% of population suffer from arthritis. Native Fijians only have an estimated 10% arthritic rate, which can be attributed to a diet that consists of mainly root vegetables grown without fertiliser. The United States, England, Australia and New Zealand have average soil Boron levels, where arthritic rates are approximately 20%. Israel is home to some of the best soil in the world with a high Boron content. Arthritic rates for the whole country are less than 1%.
Approximately 55% of Americans aged over 50 are suffering from osteoporosis and on a global scale, 1 in 3 woman have osteoporosis. These statistics are alarming. We hope you can help educate your family and friends on the health benefits of Boron.
