Boron is a trace mineral that has garnered scientific interest for its role in bone health. Several studies indicate that boron may positively influence bone metabolism by affecting the activity of hormones such as vitamin D, estrogen, and testosterone, which are important for maintaining bone density. Boron supplementation has been shown in some small human and animal studies to reduce urinary calcium excretion and increase serum levels of 17-beta estradiol and vitamin D, both of which can have beneficial effects on bone mineralization. Epidemiological data also suggest that regions with higher dietary boron intake have lower rates of arthritis, a disease that affects bone and joint health. However, while these findings are promising, the bulk of available evidence comes from small-scale studies, animal models, and observational research, rather than large randomized controlled trials in humans. Most major health organizations do not yet recognize boron as an essential nutrient for bone health, and recommended dietary allowances are not firmly established. In summary, there is emerging scientific evidence suggesting a supportive role of boron in skeletal health, but more robust clinical studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety in humans.
