Boron is a non-metallic element present in the diet and in the human body in trace amounts. Whether boron is an essential nutrient for humans remains in debate. Boron appears to affect the metabolism of calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, and vitamin D. Preliminary research suggests that boron might affect bone and joint health, but very little is known regarding specifics. The most promising research with boron has linked supplementation to reduced loss of calcium in urine. This effect might lead to a lower risk of osteoporosis, but decreased loss of calcium from boron supplementation occurs mostly when people are not getting enough magnesium in their diets.1

Where is it found? Raisins, prunes, and nuts are generally excellent sources of boron. Fruit (other than citrus), vegetables, and legumes also typically contain significant amounts. Actual amounts vary widely, depending upon boron levels in soil where the food is grown.
