The benefits of boron especially involve maintaining bone health because boron influences the activity and absorption of nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium and vitamin D, which are essential nutrients for strong bones.
Foods that are good sources of boron include foods of plant origin, especially non-citrus fruits, such as bananas, vegetables such as kale, nuts and legumes, such as soybeans, beans, lentils or peas, for example .
Other benefits of boron can be:
- Prevent osteoporosis;
- Helps absorb vitamin D;
- Decrease menstrual pain;
- Avoid loss of calcium and other minerals;
- Helps prevent abnormalities during growth;
- Decrease the risk of rheumatoid arthritis;
- Helps regulate blood pressure.
As boron can also increase the production of hormones, such as testosterone, some bodybuilders use boron supplement in the form of chelated boron, in capsules, however the required dosage is not yet well established and, therefore, it is important to consult the doctor or nutritionist before taking any supplement.
