Boron helps to safeguard calcium in the body. It also appears necessary for activating vitamin D and certain hormones, such as oestrogen, which is important in preventing bone loss in women as they age.

The safest way to increase your intake of this mineral is to include boron-rich foods in your diet. These include: fresh fruits and vegetables such as alfalfa sprouts, cabbage, lettuce, peas, snap beans, apples and grapes. Other sources of boron are: almonds, dates, dried fruits, hazelnuts, peanuts, prunes, raisins, and soya beans.
