Boron 60s

Boron is needed for healthy bones and muscle growth because it assists in the production of natural steroid compounds within the body. It is also necessary for the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. It enhances brain function, promotes alertness, and plays a role in how the body utilizes energy from fats and sugars. The elderly usually benefit from taking a boron supplement because they have greater problems with calcium absorption. It helps to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis and build muscle. Supplemental boron can help shrink prostate tumour size, lower blood levels of prostate-specific antigen, and may help prevent prostate cancer. Rheumatism may be an indication of boron deficiency and accentuates vitamin D deficiency. Boron can help alleviate joint discomfort by reducing levels of both COX-2 and LOX enzymes and help to preserve cognitive function.
