A study in the journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4712861\/\"><em>Integrative Medicine<\/em><\/a>, for example, shows that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=boron\">boron<\/a> increases the body\u2019s ability to absorb calcium and magnesium.<\/p>\n<p>A boron deficiency can be serious, rendering cells unable to properly transfer nutrients\u2014but luckily, boron is abundant in foods (to name a few: dates, avocado, soybeans, nuts, chickpeas, peanut butter, kidney beans). People who don&#8217;t have a varied diet can consider a boron supplement.<\/p>\n<p>Here are five important ways boron contributes to your health:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Boron For Bone Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of boron\u2019s superpowers is in the bone-building process. According to a study done by the journal\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/Federation%20of American Societies for Experimental Biology\"><em>F<\/em><em>ASEB<\/em>,<\/a>\u00a0boron initiates estrogen by helping convert vitamin D into an active state. Then, estrogen improves the absorption of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/calcium\/N-8dl?search1=Calcium\">calcium.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/boron-complex-plus-calcium-magnesium-300-capsules\/vs-1235\">Boron<\/a> also helps to prevent vitamin D deficiency, which is linked to osteoporosis. That\u2019s because when the bone\u2019s metabolic function is working correctly, osteoporosis is less likely to occur, indicates a study in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5318168\/\"><em>Clinical Cases in Mineral and Bone Metabolism<\/em><\/a>. If osteoporosis <em>is<\/em> diagnosed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=boron\">boron<\/a> can play a major role in helping the body replace lost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/calcium\/N-8dl?search1=Calcium\">calcium.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Boron For Teeth &amp; Gum Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Got strong teeth? You may have boron to thank. Boron plays an important role in healthy teeth, gums, and the prevention of tooth decay. By converting the <a style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamin-d\/N-88o?search1=vitamin%20d\">vitamin D<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\"> to its active form, it increases<\/span><a style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/calcium\/N-8dl?search1=Calcium\"> calcium<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\"> uptake and absorption into the bones and teeth. If you do have <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=tooth\">tooth<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\"> decay, you can try kicking up the amount of boron in your diet, or via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=boron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">supplements.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Boron For Arthritis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/7889887\"><em>Environ Health Perspect<\/em><\/a>\u00a0shows that boron may assist in preventing some forms of arthritis. In fact, the study says that in some places in the world, where boron intake is typically low, incidence of arthritis is higher. On the other hand, areas of the world with higher intakes of boron have lower levels of arthritis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/07\/arthritis-young-age\/\">What It\u2019s Like To Have Arthritis In Your\u00a020s<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Boron &amp; Hormones<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/3678698\"><em>FASEB<\/em><\/a> study also shows that boron can\u00a0affect the metabolism of steroid hormones\u2014especially the sex hormones. Supplementing with boron increases low <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=testosterone\">testosterone<\/a> levels in men and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=estrogen\">estrogen<\/a> levels in menopausal women. This could be great news for those who want to jumpstart their libido, or for weight lifters who want to boost their testosterone levels.<\/p>\n<p>Boron bonus points: The mineral may also provide some relief from vaginal yeast infections. According to <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aafp.org\/afp\/2000\/0601\/p3306.html#afp20000601p3306-b3\">American Family Physician<\/a><\/em>, women can use a 600-mg vaginal suppository administered twice daily for 14 days.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Boron for Cognitive Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Looking to improve your brain function? Boron may be able to support that. According to a study done by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/10050926\"><em>Biological Trace Element Research<\/em><\/a>, low levels of boron may be linked to poor performance of motor speed tasks, poor attention span and short-term memory, and poor dexterity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=boron\">Shop boron tablets,
