Interactions
synergistic. Boron supports the hydroxylation of vitamin D to its active form (calcitriol) and extends the half-life of circulating 25(OH)D; boron supplementation increases serum vitamin D
synergistic. Boron reduces urinary calcium excretion and supports calcium integration into bone matrix; animal studies show boron deficiency impairs bone development similar to vitamin D deficiency
synergistic. Boron reduces urinary magnesium excretion, helping maintain magnesium status; both minerals support bone health and hormonal balance
enhances. Boron 6mg/day has been shown to increase free testosterone by 28% and decrease estradiol in men within one week; it may influence sex hormone metabolism
