Why Boron? Boron and Arthritis:
1. Evidence that low boron intake increases the risk of developing arthritis. People who take less than 2 mg per day of boron are more likely to develop arthritis later in life and earlier than people who eat boron-rich diets. While boron deficiency has not been reported in humans, regular intake of boron-deficient foods can predispose and contribute to the development of arthritis.
2. Boron is known to accumulate in the synovial fluid lubricating joints and in bones especially in the heads of femur bones. People with arthritis usually have lower concentrations of these minerals at these sites while healthy people do have high concentration of boron in bones, femur heads and synovial fluid.
3. Observational evidence shows that the bones of arthritic patients using boron supplements are harder than the fragile bones of those who do not take boron.
4. In rats induced with arthritis, oral and injectable forms of boron was found to improve the symptoms and increase mobility.
5. In a clinical trial involving 20 human participants, the use of boron supplement was found to provide superior relief to placebo in the management of osteoarthritis. 50% of the boron group who were given 6 mg per day of boron showed improvements in symptoms compared to only 10% of the placebo group.
