Boron Roles

The role of boron is still being discovered and knowledge about this trace element is still quite limited. The primary roles include muscle building, contributing to the health of cell membranes, aiding in various enzyme reactions, preventing calcium loss in menopausal women, and helping to maintain normal levels of minerals and hormones required for healthy bones.

Boron Foods
