Boron Metabolism

Meaning

Boron Metabolism encompasses the full spectrum of physiological processes involving the trace mineral boron, including its efficient absorption from the diet, its distribution throughout the body’s tissues, and its specific biochemical interactions at the cellular level. Although boron is not universally classified as an essential micronutrient for humans, it has been clinically observed to significantly influence the metabolism of key steroid hormones, notably estrogen and testosterone, and to support crucial bone matrix health. Understanding its subtle but pervasive role is important for comprehensive mineral and hormonal balance.
