Boron seems to help with pain and the stiffness of arthritis and is needed to build and maintain healthy
cell membranes along with bones in the human body. A combination of
calcium,
magnesium,
vitamin D and the
trace mineral boron may help prevent osteoporosis.
Boron can be found in
apples,
grapes, various
vegetables,
fruits,
nuts, and
raisins.
Deficiences of boron can lead to
osteoporosis,
arthritis, poor bone
development, and possibly stunted growth.
