Boron

Meaning

Boron is an essential trace mineral that plays a subtle yet significant role in human physiology, particularly within the skeletal and endocrine systems. While the exact Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is still under debate, evidence suggests it is critical for bone matrix integrity and the metabolism of key steroid hormones. Adequate boron status may support the maintenance of optimal calcium and magnesium levels, contributing to bone mineral density. In hormonal health, its influence on steroid hormone regulation is a primary area of clinical interest.
