Functions

  • Bone health: Boron, an essential trace element, plays a vital role in bone metabolism. Boron Citrate promotes the absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in the intestine, increasing their deposition in bones and enhancing bone mineral density. It also regulates vitamin D metabolism, activating vitamin D to further boost calcium absorption, preventing and improving osteoporosis.​
  • Hormone regulation: Studies indicate that boron influences endocrine function, particularly sex hormones like estrogen and androgen. Boron Citrate affects hormone synthesis, transport, and receptor binding, maintaining hormonal balance. For women, it relieves menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and insomnia; for men, it improves reproductive function.​
  • Brain function support: Boron contributes to normal brain physiology by maintaining cell membrane stability and regulating neurotransmitter synthesis and release, enhancing cognitive function, memory, and attention. Its antioxidant properties also protect brain cells from oxidative damage, potentially preventing neurodegenerative diseases.​

Applications

  • Dietary supplements: Widely used in dietary supplements, Boron Citrate caters to groups with specific bone health needs, such as the elderly, postmenopausal women, and athletes, preventing osteoporosis and strengthening bones. Available in various forms like tablets, capsules, and powders.​
  • Health and wellness products: In the wellness market, it’s incorporated into products promoting hormonal balance, cognitive health, and overall well – being, targeting consumers seeking comprehensive health support.
