Products with Boron: Calcium
Coverage
Boron
is required by your body in trace amounts
for proper metabolism of calcium, magnesium,
and phosphorus. Boron helps brain function,
healthy bones, and can increase alertness.
Boron supplements are especially good
for older people. Boron is known to help
support proper bone growth. Boron
is also useful for people who want to
build muscle.
Doctor
Rex E. Newnham, Ph.D., D.O., is showing
a relationship between a dietary lack
of boron and joint stress. See his
article in the Journal of Applied
Nutrition, volume 46, issue 3, 1994.
That article has the following observations:
- People
in Jamaica and other surrounding islands
where the soil and diet is low in Boron
have a higher than average chances of
suffering from arthritis.
- Boron
amounts in the soil is directly proportional
to the amount of organic matter. Highly
fertilized crops provide much less quantities
of boron.
- South
Africans with a high Boron diet had
a 3% incidence of arthritis. When they
changed their diet after moving to the
city they had a 20% incidence of arthritis.
- Hot
mineral spas where Boron content in
the water is very high have the reputation
of healing arthritis.
