1 interaction related to urinary calcium
Boron is an ultratrace mineral that appears to reduce urinary calcium loss and to support the activity of vitamin D, which governs how much calcium the gut absorbs. In short-term feeding studies of postmenopausal women, adding boron lowered urinary calcium excretion and modestly raised estradiol. The effect is supportive rather than dramatic and is most relevant when boron intake from food is low.
