Boron
Boron is a trace element that plays an important role in
the absorption of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and copper.
It may help reduce pain associated with PMS and arthritis
symptoms. Boron also assists in normal brain function.
Boron deficiency may cause malabsorption of calcium and magnesium,
which can lead to arthritis and osteoporosis. A deficiency
in boron may also contribute to high blood pressure.
Boron can be found in honey, raisins, nuts, dates, prunes,
pears, grapes, beans and green leafy vegetables.
