Boron decreases calcium(Ca) & magnesium(Mg) excretion (urination) significantly. Thus increasing Mg status/absorption without taking more Mg. As most of health Twitter know’s Mg is essential to health
It also increases Mg & Ca mineralization in Bones & Teeth (think kids)

Boron increases the biological half-life & bioavailability of both VitE2 & VitD. This is because Boron inhibits an enzyme-24 Hydroxylase-that degrades these Vit’s. As a result it improves the bioavailability & regulation of Sex Hormones

Boron is a potent anti-inflammatory and has been shown to reduce the genotoxic effects secondary to heavy Heavy Metal exposure
It may also possibly acts as a Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor (something many are plagued by, think allergies 🤧)

Boron Containing Molecules (natural sources) contain ribose which can improve NAD/SAM-e status. Both of which are critical to detoxification & energy production
As a result Boron has also been shown to have anti cancer/tumor properties

Note many of these foods have high amounts of anti-nutrients. Avocado 🥑 and prunes are good natural options but you still want to be supplementing

If you want more info search @Grimhood ‘s profile. He’s posted quite a bit about this although as I said I feel it’s under appreciated on here
And keep in mind you don’t want Boron in isolation your looking for balanced intake of all key minerals
