Boron helps cells retain magnesium.

We’re going to get a little bit nerdy on minerals today!

Magnesium gets a lot of attention for its many roles in the body, and rightly so. One of the things, however, that we often miss when it comes to improving Magnesium status is a trace mineral called Boron.

Without Boron, cells cannot properly retain Magnesium. Magnesium is an intracellular mineral, meaning it’s primarily located inside of cells.

This is important for many reasons, especially when you start to understand Boron’s other functions and benefits, which include:

⇴Bone formation

⇴Bone health

⇴Insulin sensitivity

⇴Blood sugar regulation

⇴General cognitive function

⇴Attention span

⇴Eye-hand coordination

⇴Short-term memory

⇴Extending the half-life of hormones including Vitamin D and estrogen

⇴And more

In fact, the highest concentration of Boron can be found in the Parathyroid Glands. This alone should not to its major importance in Calcium regulation (and Magnesium’s role here too).

Boron is an important mineral that supports overall health, including the growth and development of baby (especially bone health).

One of the best ways to determine Boron status is via a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). I’ll be diving deeper on this test and other helpful ones in my upcoming course. Sign up via the link in my bio for updates!
