2 interactions related to trace minerals
boron + magnesium
Boron supports magnesium retention and deposition in bone, and the two minerals jointly influence the activation of vitamin D. In rodent studies, boron supplementation reduced the metabolic abnormalities of magnesium-deficient diets and raised plasma magnesium levels.

selenium + iodine
Iodine is the raw material for thyroid hormones T4 and T3, but selenium is required to build the deiodinase enzymes that convert inactive T4 into active T3 in peripheral tissues. Selenium also powers glutathione peroxidase, which protects thyroid follicular cells from the oxidative damage of iodine handling.
