#1 Missing Trace Mineral in ARTHRITIS

Find out if one trace mineral can help end your arthritis pain for good.

3:26 How much boron do you need for arthritis?

Today, we’re going to talk about the number 1 missing trace mineral involved in arthritis. Vitamin D and magnesium are often used for arthritis, but they won’t work without enough boron.

There aren't many studies on boron, but there is some promising data involving boron and arthritis. Boron seems to be the key trace mineral that allows calcium and magnesium to work.

If you’re deficient in boron, you’ll have excess calcium and magnesium in the urine and tend to get more calcification in the soft tissues. You might also have weaker bones.

Here are some of the health benefits of boron:
• Helps keep minerals inside the bone
• Allows vitamin D to be activated
• Helps prevent tooth decay

Boron helps prevent joint inflammation by reducing C-reactive protein. A boron deficiency can also cause receding gums, kidney stones, calcium in the arteries, and calcium in the joints.

The parathyroid gland stores the most boron in the body and produces a hormone that helps control calcium. If you don’t have enough calcium, the parathyroid hormone will increase to extract the calcium from your bones. You need boron to allow this process to work.

If you’re low in boron, you might also be low in testosterone or estrogen. Research suggests that boron can even potentially help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

To use boron to help relieve arthritis symptoms, try starting with 3 mg of boron three times per day and see if the problem resolves within 1 to 3 months.

      La vitamina D y el magnesio se utilizan a menudo para la artritis, pero no funcionan sin suficiente boro.

      No hay muchos estudios sobre el boro, pero hay algunos datos prometedores sobre el boro y la artritis. El boro parece ser el oligoelemento clave que permite que funcionen el calcio y el magnesio.

      Si tiene deficiencia de boro, tendrá exceso de calcio y magnesio en la orina y tenderá a tener más calcificación en los tejidos blandos. También es posible que tengas huesos más débiles.
      Éstos son algunos de los beneficios para la salud del boro:
      • Ayuda a mantener los minerales dentro del hueso.
      • Permite activar la vitamina D
      • Ayuda a prevenir las caries

      El boro ayuda a prevenir la inflamación de las articulaciones al reducir la proteína C reactiva. Una deficiencia de boro también puede provocar retracción de las encías, cálculos renales, calcio en las arterias y calcio en las articulaciones

      La glándula paratiroides almacena la mayor cantidad de boro en el cuerpo y produce una hormona que ayuda a controlar el calcio. Si no tienes suficiente calcio, la hormona paratiroidea aumentará para extraer el calcio de tus huesos. Necesita boro para permitir que este proceso funcione. Si tiene niveles bajos de boro, es posible que también tenga niveles bajos de testosterona o estrógeno. Las investigaciones sugieren que el boro puede incluso ayudar a reducir el riesgo de cáncer de próstata.

      Para usar boro para ayudar a aliviar los síntomas de la artritis, intente comenzar con 3 mg de boro tres veces al día y vea si el problema se resuelve dentro de 1 a 3 meses.

    Excellent. Boron is to the parathyroid as iodine is to the thyroid. The calcium in bones is controlled by the parathyroid and thyroid.

I know, sounds strange but it is also used as an ingredient in that stuff. Take only a small pinch, it is very alkaline. So like baking soda it also neutralizes acids in your body.

    Recently I started taking 15 mg of boron per day. For the first time in decades, my body is properly absorbing potassium, calcium, magnesium! No more cramps. No more feeling like my electrolytes are dropping. Both of those things can be extremely difficult as anyone who has been through them knows. Taking this bit of extra boron recently came about from your other recent video about this little micromineral. Absolutely impossible to thank you! And yes, certainly a great lessening of arthritis pain as well!
