Boron (B) in blood

Boron is a trace element, vital for humans. It influences mineral and energy metabolism and is contained in all tissues and cells of the body. Insufficient boron content in the body against the background of vitamin D deficiency causes growth retardation in children and contributes to the development of rickets. In postmenopausal women, boron deficiency leads to deterioration of mineral metabolism and significantly increases the risk of osteoporosis. Prolonged boron deficiency is manifested by increased bone fragility, moderate pain in joints or bones under load, slow fracture healing, poor wound healing, anaemia, thrombocytopenia, increased susceptibility to urolithiasis, imbalance of sex hormones and premature extinction of sexual functions, decreased concentration, efficiency and slow behavioural reactions, progression of neurological diseases.
