Published in Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine
Abstract
Review of experimental, epidemiological and clinical evidence for human health effects of boron.
Key Findings
Boron intakes above about 1 mg/day are associated with improved calcium and magnesium metabolism, bone strength and reduced inflammatory markers in experimental and observational work.
Conclusions
Boron appears to be a beneficial trace element, but definitive supplementation trials are lacking.
Limitations
Narrative synthesis of animal and observational data; few controlled human trials.
Supplements Studied
Boron intakes above about 1 mg/day are associated with improved calcium and magnesium metabolism, bone strength and reduced inflammatory markers in experimental and observational work.
